My Granny's and Mom's Best and Different Sweet Potato Casserole

Thu, 08 Apr 2004 20:01:35 -0400

For as long as I can remember, this dish has been an accompaniment to the holiday meals at our house. It is my very favorite with ham, I love that sweet and salty thing. I can't guarantee I'll convert it to your favorite too, but I'm willing to give it a try! Give it a go, ok? -- posted by LoriInIndiana

Anti-Mushroom Green Bean Casserole

Mon, 04 Oct 2004 20:00:29 -0400

I have always disliked getting mushrooms in my green bean casserole and I am picky about onions. I combined ideas from my mother and a very good friend along with my own spin on onion preparation to make a very tasty new way to enjoy green bean casserole. This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to accomodate larger groups. When you prepare the onions, you will want to fry them till a dark brown, just short of burning them--some pieces may even be a little crisp. -- posted by ChefboiR2D2

Amish Vanilla Pie

Sat, 20 Nov 2004 19:59:58 -0500

Syrup pie (Treacle Tart) has always been my husband's favorite from his English mum. This Amish Vanilla Pie recipe from Marcia Adam's "New Recipes from Quilt Country" is similar in flavor but has more filling and a crumb topping. It tastes like a pecan pie but more vanilla tasting (great for people like my husband who likes pecan pie, but hates the nuts or for people who think they "should" like shoo-fly pie, but hate the molasses). It cuts beautifully. -- posted by Roxygirl in Colorado

Beth's Melt in Your Mouth Barbecue Ribs (Oven)

Thu, 06 Jan 2005 20:01:30 -0500

I almost didn't want to share this recipe because this is one of the dishes that I make that keep my sons coming back home! These can be done with baby back or regular pork ribs. I have also made split chickens this way. The ribs are tender, moist and just slide off of the bone. I know that your family will love them just as much as my family does. I noticed that some are unable to find hickory smoked salt.. You can use smoked paprika or just brush the ribs with liquid smoke before applying the rub. The smoke flavor is nice because it helps give the ribs a cooked on the grill flavor. Also, the easiest way to remove the membrane is to work a spoon or I use the tips of my kitchen sheers into the bottom center of the membrane, work it back and forth to form a "pocket" then I slide my thumbs in and work the membrane off from the center outward to the ends. -- posted by Not-2-Sweet

Easy Turkey Tetrazzini

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 20:00:05 -0500

This recipe is different because it's sooo very creamy! It's easy, fast and makes my kids ask for more! Chicken can be used in place of the turkey, and you can substitute 2 small cans of chopped mushrooms for the fresh. This is great taste for very little work! -- posted by Kaarin

Pride of Deer Camp Barbecue Sauce-Marinade

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 18:12:12 -0400

If you watched The Frugal Gourmet on PBS years ago when his show was the best, you may have seen Jeff Smith make this barbecue sauce. It's a very old recipe (not one of his originally) and it makes a great pork or beef rib marinade. If I recall correctly, Jeff Smith said an old woman who ran a hotel in Chicago gave him the recipe. Anyway, it will keep for a long time, stored in the refrigerator. Another great use for this blend is as a Bloody Mary base -- see directions below. This sauce is much thinner than most barbecue sauces and the recipe makes a LOT as listed! Enjoy. big pat. -- posted by Bone Man

Creamy Green Bean Casserole

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 20:30:54 -0500

This is my own version of Green Bean Casserole, It uses a different ingredient, but I think it's the best. I hope You will like it too :) This recipe is what I make for holidays, but you can certainly scale it down to suit the amount you want to make. It does make less than it seems though, especially if you use the French style green beans (not to mention how good left overs are). Exact measurements aren't really neccesary though so don't be afraid to make less or more. For one can beans I'd use 2oz cream cheese and 1/3 can of cream of chicken. -- posted by PickleLover

Oyster Candy

No! It doesn't have oysters in it. It's smooth, creamy chocolate. I found it in another one of those church cookbooks I love. The recipe is simple but a bit tempermental, follow the directions carefully. I don't really know how long it takes from start to finish. It depends on how long it takes the chocolate to get to the right consistency. -- posted by Joanne #6

Lazy Grilled Chicken

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:26:52 -0400

I had a friend call me one evening to request a chicken grilling recipe for the following day. Off the top of my head, I quickly mentally evaluated the key ingredients of a good marinade, and knowing how lazy this guy was, I just told him to go buy some cheap Italian Salad Dressing, marinate the chicken overnight, and then grill it. He called me the next evening with a big WOW! So I did the same thing (and have done so many times since) and it makes for some really great grilled chicken. I sort of tweaked it later with the mustard but it's fine without it. Prep time includes marinating time. Enjoy! -- posted by Bone Man

Smooth As S I L K Cream Cheese Danish

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:39:38 -0400

Growing up with five brothers (no sisters) was great, but I really wanted some girly fellowship within the family. A few years ago, my sisters-in-law and I started getting together for a yearly SILK Weekend. SILK stands for Sisters-In-Law Kerr (my maiden name). We rotate the hosting duties. This year (2007) we met near Madison, toured Wollersheim Winery (bought a "few" bottles!), lunched & gabbed for hours at The Blue Spoon (Culver's corporate headquarters) in Sauk Prairie, completed an aMAZE-ing after-dark flashlight tour through the Treinen Farm Corn Maze near Lodi. This recipe is what our SILK-host served for breakfast on Saturday morning. It truly is silky and creamy and outrageously delicious. NOTE: Cooking time does NOT include the two-hour/overnight "rise" time needed for the dough. -- posted by Debber

Cabin Fever Game Night Taco Dip

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:11:16 -0400

As winter is winding down here in the northlands, we're "starting" to get a bit of cabin fever. So, once-a-year our church youth group hosts a cabin-fever game night. Everyone brings their favorite snack and soft drinks AND games or puzzles to share with the group. It's a free-for-all of board games, cards, and fun. Great for fellowship and laughter and wonderful memories. The first year we went, the teens went crazy over this recipe, so it's become kind-of a tradition. -- posted by Debber

Mom's Old Fashion Brisket and Vegetables

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 18:53:01 -0400

One pot dinner at it's very best. This recipe brings back so many memories of my Mom cooking Sunday dinner in the kitchen. The house always smelled outstanding while this dish cooked and we all looked forward to it hitting the table. She always put this in the oven at 1pm on the dot to serve at 5pm with steamy hot, buttery, homemade dinner rolls to sop up the wonderful pan sauce made while the brisket cooked. Mom always froze the leftover meat with the delicious pan sauce and the next Sunday roasted off new veggies and reheated the meat and pan gravy. You can substitute a nice beef roast for the brisket. -- posted by Humble Bee

New England Style Buttermilk Hot Dog Bun's (Lobster Rolls)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:14:10 -0400

After a great deal of searching for this style of roll for the 2008 4th of July Holiday, I fiddled with the recipe and came up with a much better version. I hope that you enjoy these as much as we do. They are great rolls! Rich in eggs and butter, this dough is soft and tender and does not require excessive kneading. It is easy to make by hand and even easier if you have an electric mixer with a dough hook. Please note that when I make these rolls I use the 'dough setting' on my bread maker to mix the ingredients and get through the first rise. Please follow your bread makers instructions for adding ingredients if you choose to use your bread maker, as well. The times listed reflect making the buns manually. -- posted by Humble Bee

Tyler was doing a interview sometime in October or November of 2004, he was telling a story how Miles his son and himself had no plans for Thanksgiving. So he flew back to New York and this is what he made for that Thanksgiving of 2004 while watching the Macy's parade. -- posted by Moontan Master!

Crock Pot Colcannon

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 20:48:58 -0500

This recipe really isn't cooked in the crock pot but I like to bring these to potlucks in my crock pot as a warmer. Traditional Irish Food meets American Soul in one of the easiest recipes your crowd will love. -- posted by pinaypplegirl

Ohio Pudding

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:47:52 -0500

A Fannie Farmer (1965 edition) recipe. I'm from Ohio, but this has not been traditional in my family, tho currants were always used for holiday baking and decorating cookies. My paternal grandmother was known for her suet pudding, which I would never make because of the cholesterol. This is a great substitute, and there's something magical that happens when the fruits and veggies are added to the dry ingredients. Fannie wants you to serve it with Ohio Sauce (a variation of Hard Sauce) but I don't think this is necessary. We serve it like fruitcake but find that it's more widely accepted. -- posted by ccferne

Vanilla Rose Panna Cotta

Chicken Cordon Bleu Salad

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:21:21 -0500

It's a little bit of work, but totally worth it. I like to do the chicken ahead of time, then warming them in the oven. These things are also good separately added to the salad. I've used leftover chicken that I've shredded, then added some ham and swiss. I then would use the cornflakes as a crispy topping. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Fourth of July Chili

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 13:02:28 -0500

A recipe I began "modifying" years ago when I got it from a relative. I believe it has been tweaked until absolutely perfect. there are 2 distinct seperate groups of chili fanatics in the world that differ greatly in their opinions of the perfect chili. some like it sweet, some like it spicy. This recipe will have both coming back for more! The initial mild sweetness slowly gives way to a smoky spicy flavor that really only comes on slowly after you swallow. Not to worry, the chipotle psice is easily doused with a beverage of your choice. Enjoy. -- posted by peach1705

Sugared Cranberry Gorp

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:16:35 -0500

I love GORP. I'm always looking for different ways to make it in different flavors and textures. It's good to try using what you really like in it. I like cranberries and sourdough pretzels, so I came up with this one. It's a nice sweet change of pace. I hope you enjoy it. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Senn High School Chicago Butter Cookies

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:58:25 -0400

This is the actual recipe used in the Chicago public schools, my Mom was the manager in the cafeteria for many years. This recipe was also published in a Chicago newspaper as one of the favorites. The cookie has a wonderful butter flavor and very delicate texture. Have one with a little carton of milk and you will feel young again. Enjoy! -- posted by red and white kitchen

Rossann's Kentucky Beer Cheese

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:37:42 -0400

This recipe comes from my stepmom. Beer cheese is a tradition in Kentucky with some of the most famous brands coming from the Central Kentucky region. This recipe is no exception. It uses velveeta unlike the traditional recipe I am use to, but it is much easier than having to blend it forever in the food processor or blender. A must have for any Derby party or tailgate! Serve with crackers, veggies, or potato chips. -- posted by Sccuddlers

Tangy, Zesty Oil and Vinegar Potato Salad

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:48:18 -0400

The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!! Yumm....From Bon Appetit, 2009. **Note: To use smaller potatoes, cook time is about 5 minutes less. -- posted by College Girl

Basic Garlic and Oil Sauce for Perfect Pasta (Rachael Ray)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:11:53 -0400

If you like pasta, you're going to LOVE this recipe from Everyday With Rachael Ray's magazine (Oct '09). She has a "secret ingredient" that adds an unexpected zest to the ordinary ingredients: anchovies. She notes in her recipe that " even if you think you don't like anchovies, you should try this recipe--it'll change your mind." Further, she points out that "once you heat anchovies, they stop tasting like fish and start tasting more like salted nuts." So: try it, you'll like it! If you must, don't say anything to the diners--and ask them if they like it, before you reveal the "secret ingredient." -- posted by Debber

Tim's Midwestern Dressing

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:12:05 -0500

This simple stuffing/dressing recipe has been passed down for several generations in Ohio. Now that I'm in Texas, I kept losing the darn recipe, so I decided to upload it here. BTW, you can add cooked and chopped giblets and neck to this dressing, if desired. Just simmer them in water or chicken broth for several minutes or so to ensure they're properly cooked before adding to mix. -- posted by Toby's Foods

Julie's Pecan Caramel Bars

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:02:49 -0500

These are so good, they've been the hit of the party everywhere I take them. Inspired by PanNan's recipe #37846, but tweaked a bit to suit my family's preference. (I can't tell any difference between baker's chocolate and chocolate chips, but evidently my family can.) -- posted by puppitypup
