Shea Butter Moisturizing Lotion

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:12:00 -0400

I took another recipe that I posted and modified it to use shea butter. Shea butter is so good for dry skin, as is aloe vera gel. This is great on lips and dry hands. Although the original recipe was meant for face, I have oily skin, so it would be too much. I will be putting this on my hands overnight with gloves. The peppermint oil is antibacterial and helps cover up the smell of the raw shea butter. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Homemade Lotion

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:11:18 -0400

You can jazz this recipe up several ways. Use an herbal tea instead of water (calendula is great for skin!), or an herb oil (like peppermint) instead of regular oil. Add optional oils AFTER the lotion has emulsified or it may not emulsify properly. Great oils to use would be almond, olive, grapeseed, or a mixture of any. Don't use vegetable oil. Tea tree oil and vitamin E oil will help keep the lotion from going bad. Keep this lotion in the fridge and warm it up in your hands before using. Great for baby massages (I massaged my wee one with almond oil and water lotion when he was younger), and also very nourishing for people who have to wash their hands a lot. -- posted by Llamatron

Jerrys Country Coffee for Hard Times

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:13:11 -0400

A recipe for our challenging economic times! This is coffee for when you cannot afford the real thing! Based on a recipe from Joan Ranson Shortneys book, How to Live on Nothing. My book is from 1971 and is still mostly relevant even today, except where she says to eat margarine! For me, this book is like a second chance at finally listening to my grandparents and great grandparents. :) For other country drinks, you may substitute barley, oats, or soybeans, as these were used during the Civil War; the roasted shells of acorns were used during WWII by the Germans (caution: do not use acorns unless you boil them first to remove their tannic acid). Im guessing on the quantity and will adjust accordingly after Ive made this. If you try this, please let me know what quantity worked for you. This recipe requires a coffee grinder, or some other equipment or method for grinding the kernels. I wrote the instructions using a standard 12-cup drip coffee maker, but this can certainly be made using other coffee brewing methods. -- posted by mersaydees

Warren Leruth's Crabmeat St. Francis

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:27:30 -0400

"This was one of the best dishes created by the late Chef Warren LeRuth at his spectacular (New Orleans) restaurant. He told me once that the thing he missed most about not having LeRuth's open anymore was that he couldn't grab one of these at moment's notice. Crabmeat St. Francis is also special in that it's one of the few regular menu items from LeRuth's for which the chef ever published the recipe. At that, it only came out a few years ago, in the little cookbook they do every year at the Chef's Charity for Children. (Another reason to go!) I find this recipe fascinating in that it uses ingredients and techniques generally left behind by latter-day gourmet chefs. Despite that, this is a dish that knows few peers." -- Tom Fitzmorris is a New Orleans food critic, radio host, and author.

Enjoy a taste of summer in the middle of the winter with this easy canning recipe. The following is for one quart jar, which easily fills one pie. Multiply it to use as many berries as you can get your hands on. I also add fresh lavender flowers since I've got a great local lavender farm, but if you do, please be careful to use them sparingly as they can quickly overpower the berry taste. If you are unsure on how to use lavender, read up online first. *DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CLEAR JEL*! This is important. You probably won't find it at your local grocery store, but you can easily order it online. I found mine at a specialty candy and cake decorating store. -- posted by PDXChef

Chicken 65 Curry

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:38 -0400

This sticky, spicy chicken curry is deliciously sweet and packs just the right amount of heat. It is to be scooped up with warm, chewy naan, then licked off of fingers.Your first step is to hunt down some curry leaves. Their flavour is irreplaceable in this dish - a bit nutty, warm, and citrusy. Used a lot in South Indian cooking, they have nothing to do with curry powder which is a blend of spices.Start by browning the chicken in a heavy skillet - make sure the oil is good and hot and the chicken has been patted dry before you put it in the pan. Dont flip it until it releases easily - if it is sticking, leave it - it will tear if you try and turn it before it is ready. Next, cook the onions gently over low heat for about 10 minutes to coax out the sweetness. Then add the spices to the pan to saute before the liquid is added. These three steps have a big flavour impact. As far as curries go, the ingredient list is very short. Which makes it a great curry for beginners, if you can track down some curry leaves at an Indian grocer. Serve with naan http://www.recipezaar.com/Naan-56245 . -- posted by College Girl

Good Eats Pound Cake Light - Alton Brown

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:08:42 -0400

Transcribed from the 10/26/09 episode. Slow-churned European style butters have smaller butterfat crystals, which leads to smaller, finer bubbles and a finer texture in the finished cake, so splurge on the expensive butter for this! Be sure to use cake flour, not all-purpose; the finer particle size, the lower protein and the bleaching all lead to a better, more tender texture in the final cake. Substituting buttermilk for some of the eggs and butter lightens the cake, lowers the fat and calories, and adds a tangy note; Alton recommends whole buttermilk, not low-fat or non-fat. It's technically not a pound cake anymore, but we won't quibble with such good eats. -- posted by DrGaellon

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:35:49 -0500

Nigella Lawson's Guinness Cake is much talked about. This is a downsized version of my adaptions to her recipe, perfect for making 12 delicious cupcakes that look like miniature pints of Guinness. It's a bit of a grown up delicacy, the flavours might be a little rich for young kids, but chocoaholics and Guinness lovers will be delighted. -- posted by Jillsybean

Lardy Cake

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:13:18 -0500

This recipe has been in my family for at least 4 generations, since at least the 1870s. It is recommended that it be served hot, with real butter. The amount of honey is a guess - the original recipe said "Honey to drizzle" but didn't give a quantity. -- posted by SnoBahr

Vegetarian Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:16 -0500

I know, this sound weird. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years and there are some items I missed from my meat eating days. I was having a craving for a Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger one day and decided to vegetarianize it. This is super easy to make and tastes very much like the original. To save time and to make it taste more authentic, use onion rings from a fast food restaurant like Sonic. I prepared the burger while I send my boyfriend down the street to Sonic. Also, slightly burning the Lightlife Smart Bacon is what makes it taste like real bacon. -- posted by danakscully64

I plan on making these for Christmas this year. They're quick to make and you can use different flavorings. The recipe was found in Company's Coming for Christmas by Jean Pare.

Christmas Chocolate Cookies - Nigella Lawson

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:36:58 -0500

These come out rather like a chocolate shortbread - a little on the sandy side. Be sure to let the glaze cool and thicken slightly or it will drip right off. Adapted from Nigella Christmas by Nigella Lawson -- posted by DrGaellon

Kill Yeast- a Candida Killer That Works

This is to clean out your whole body - men and women. Also a drop oil of oregano mixed with a little amount of water may do wonders for your skin if it is yeast causing you redness or pimples on your body or face. Do not wash off, though it is slightly smelly. Make sure to use a natural moisturiser after. -- posted by UmmBinat

Berries can be frozen or fresh. Garnish with fresh berries and some mint leaf for a pretty presentation. The custard part can be made ahead of time and yogurt must be drained of it's liquid ahead of time -- posted by Inverchef

Easy Stromboli Bread

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:10:42 -0500

Here's another treat my guy, Bunneh, adores. When I open the container near him, he goes ballistic. I mean CRAZY. It takes a bit of effort to keep him from forcefully nosing his way into the whole batch! -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Moist and fluffy chocolate cake with no hint of zucchini flavour. The zucchini just keeps it moist! Extremely quick to prepare, and always turns out well. Plus, there's so much zucchini in it, it's practically health food ... From my mom's friend Dina ... -- posted by MichelleAndErin
