Blue Ribbon Almond Bear Claws

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:23:42 -0400

Cool weather is coming & I adore a fresh bear claw with a steaming hot cup of coffee. When I came across this recipe I had to save it. From the Wichita Eagle, this blue ribbon winner at the Kansas State Fair was the winner of the Fleischmann's Yeast "Bake for the Cure" Contest. It was created by Laura McReynolds of Hutchinson, KS. The prep time includes chilling & risings so it is not as labor intensive as the time suggests. -- posted by Buster's friend

Pistachio Petit-Four Cake

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:47:28 -0400

Adapted from "Sky High: Irresisitible Triple-Layer Cake via Leite's Culinaria. I don't need to tell you that this cake is a little insane to make. But I can tell you it's worth it, and not nearly as complicated as it might seem from the outset. It's a one bowl (plus food processor) cake, the jam comes from a jar, ganache takes two minutes to make, and the next time - - the marzipan will come from a tube, already made, rather than making almond paste from scratch. -- posted by Manami

Banana Nut Teabread

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:51:48 -0400

I have made this recipe many times over the years and my DH loves it, I hope you will too. This delicious banana bread uses a food processor, it can be done equally by hand if you don't own one. The quantity given makes 1 large loaf. It comes from the British book of food processors properly explained by Dianne Page. -- posted by SueVM

Roast Eggplant With Walnuts

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:53:41 -0400

This wonderful appetizer, when served with warm pita, marinated strips of red pepper & tasty olives, can be a meal unto itself... or tucked into a pita with the aforementioned for lunch, a very nice lunch. Per the Times: "This Turkish recipe is from Paula Wolfert's upcoming book, "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen," which will be published in October by Wiley. Wolfert notes that the slower the grilling, the smokier the flavor of the eggplant. She thanks Dr. Ayse Baysal for sharing the recipe." Note: When large eggplants are roasted whole, you may notice black juices seeping out of the skin. If this happens, immediately slit the eggplant on one side and drain on a slanted board in the sink. -- posted by Buster's friend

Mani's Bakery's High Protein Muffin

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:33:14 -0400

This recipe comes from the LA Times Food section's SOS column posted in response to reader pleading. It is an adapted recipe from the bakery. You need jumbo muffin tins to get the 14 muffins from this - regular tins will yield more muffins & likely need a slightly shortened cooking time. Should be getting about 11 grams of protein & 9 grams of fiber with about 32 grams of fat - but a lot of that is coming from the seeds & canola oil. Just the thing for hiking, fishing or hunting - easy to eat & needs no fridge! -- posted by Buster's friend

Autumn Maple Pecan Layer Cake With Penuche Fudge Frosting

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:08:20 -0400

This wonderful cake recipe is an adapted one from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. The penuche fudge frosting is an old Southern recipe. Makes a very attractive presentation, especially when the cake plate is adorned with beautiful autumn leaves. This cake freezes beautifully, just allow the cake to defrost completely before filling and frosting the layers. I recommend Canadian or Vermont maple syrup and Georgia or Texas pecans, but you can use any pure maple syrup and could use walnuts, although we prefer pecans in this recipe. -- posted by BecR

Prosciutto/Chicken Breasts/Eggplant Panzanella/Raisinvinaigrette

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:11:42 -0400

"Chef Barbara Lynch's take on saltimbocca gets its richness from Taleggio* cheese, which is stuffed in the chicken breast. A slightly sweet bread salad is served with the chicken." Bon Appetit Magazine, September 2009 Edition. The real name of the dish is: Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Breasts with Eggplant Panzanella and Raisin-Pine Nut Vinaigrette - with "Taleggio cheese that is a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese from the Valtaleggio region in northern Italy, near Lombardy. It is characteristically aromatic yet mild in flavor and features tangy, meaty notes with a fruity finish. The texture of the cheese is moist-to-oozy with a very pleasant melt-in-your-mouth feel. The combination of the soft texture, pungent aroma, and buttery flavors has proven to be addictive especially when spread on fresh crusty bread! Taleggio pairs nicely with Italian Nebbiolo wines, as well as a wide range of reds & whites." Cooling times have not been included. -- posted by Manami

Almost No-Fat Harvest Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:38:07 -0400

I came up with this recipe one rainy Saturday morning when everyone wanted cinnamon rolls but I didn't want to take the time for "regular" ones. I had purchased a ball of pizza dough at the store so I used that as my dough for the rolls. Worked out GREAT!! This will probably be our Christmas breakfast.....easy and YUMMY!!! I am a "dump cook" so I approximate with measurement. :-) My kids LOVED these!! Would be good with chopped walnuts, but my kids won't eat those very often. I have to call them "super food" to get them to eat ...but only occasionally. :-) -- posted by sconehead

Almond Tahini Date Balls

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:55:41 -0400

Very Middle Eastern and very tasty. A somewhat sophisticated brunch treat if you will, and would also make awesome finger food for tea or a dinner party. Especially if it's one of those where the meal is light but hors d'oeuvres are heavy. And can you believe this awesome treat is healthy and vegan? I couldn't! For some ideas, try a mix of Chinese red dates (I used 100%) with traditional dates. Put in a dash of ground pistachio and/or cardamom, how about a teensy bit of honey? There's a lot more I plan on doing with that huge thing of almonds I bought at BJ's. Found on the internet somewhere, don't remember where. If this is your recipe or you know where it came from, just drop me a line so I can give credit where it is due. -- posted by the80srule

Asa Ransom House Brownie Mania

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:13:32 -0400

In 1799, the Holland Land Company offered lots 10 miles apart in what is now Clarence, New York, to "any proper man who would build and operate a tavern upon it". A young silversmith named Asa Ransom, had been plying his trade in the little fur trading post on the shores of Lake Erie. He was among the first to accept this opportunity and in the hollow of the ledge, near a pine grove, built a log home & tavern. In 1803, he built a grist mill, the first in Erie County. Over time, the business has evolved into a charming inn noted for it's authenticity, hospitality and cuisine. -- posted by Molly53

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Old World Butter Horns

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:31:20 -0500

Light and flaky filled cookie. One of my mother's dear friends, a woman of German heritage, shared this recipe with her more than 40 years ago. At the time, it had been in her family for more than 100 years! It has always been my favorite cookie for special occasions and still is. We use two variations for the filling: the traditional orange date nut filling provided here or, mincemeat, a family favorite, during the holiday season. The filled cookies freeze well and can be baked off straight from the freezer. For best results, be certain that the dough is thoroughly chilled before rolling out and that the filling has cooled completely before use. -- posted by Hotelier in Holland

If you like fewer cherries, use the lesser amount; I like more so I use the whole jar. -- posted by Mimi in Maine

These are great, really simple, really easy and of course, really tasty! The taste of the pure partly toasted coconut comes through really well and I always make a double batch. WARNING: If you don't like coconut, make something else! -- posted by robd16

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:02:55 -0500

A refreshing, crunchy, raw cranberry salad. Great as a side dish or on sandwiches. You need to make this one day ahead for the cranberries to marinate but it is worth waiting for. -- posted by Sherri at the Beach

This is a quick and easy cheese and nut appetizer! If you don't have time to chill the mixute so it can be rolled into balls, serve it as a dip, garnished with nuts and additional chutney! Adapted from Rachael Ray's Big Orange Book. -- posted by Sharon123

Manchester Tart

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:03:43 -0500

This is old fashioned British school dinner food at its best. If this doesn't take you back to childhood then I don't know what will. No running in the corridors! -- posted by robd16

Cranberry Cake

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:26:13 -0500

Clients of the company I work for give us fresh cranberries every year at Thanksgiving. this year, I decided to actually DO something with them. I made this cranberry cake several times in one week because we just can't get enough of it. It's sweet with a golden crumb, soft and moist, and dense without being heavy, with juicy explosions of tart cranberries. This is also really easy; it comes together in about 10 minutes. Sometimes, I will cover it in whipped cream, but lately I have been baking it instead with a topping of pecans caramelized in butter and brown sugar. Recipe makes 1 9x13 or 1 10" springform cake -- posted by Jaelini

This recipe pairs a nutty meringue with coffee-flavored Victoria sponge, the ultimate holiday, special occasion, or birthday cake. No wonder it made it into the top 3 in the 20th Birthday Cake Competion at bbcgoodfood.Now, I know why the English rave about their Victoria sponge - it is luscious and pleasant tasting! :) -- posted by Manami

This trifle is pretty and versatile and one of the desserts being served for our Thanksgiving "family" dinner! There will be approximately 240 people to eat at our feast! Found this on the Pepperidge Farm site. Did not account for the 30 minute standing time. -- posted by Manami

Holiday Nut Roll (Americanized Croatian Nut Roll)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:16:56 -0500

While similar to other nut roll recipes, this filling is unique because it uses no egg whites or lemon and includes a delicious "Americanization" of the Slavic recipe by adding--whiskey! It adds a fantastic additional flavor; feel free to split the filling before adding whiskey if you'd like to reserve some spirit-free for the kids (though it cooks off and I've never met a kid who didn't like this). Makes a big batch--perfect for giving away. Freezes very well. My sister and I will make double this batch all at once and freeze them until we're ready to give/send them out. -- posted by Tlharin

A rye bread made with apple juice, apple butter, cardamom, and toasted walnuts. Can be made as two one-pound loaves, or as one two-pound loaf -- see bake times below!

Watercress, Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:21:05 -0500

This is a wonderful way to enjoy pears when they are flavoursome yet still firm and crisp. A lovely summer lunch or starter, the kind that is satisfying in the way that you don't need dessert and something to take your time over. -- posted by robd16

Chinese Pineapple Chicken With Cashew Nuts, Ginger, Spring Onion

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:10:58 -0500

This is sure to satisfy all your cravings for Chinese food, it's a great recipe. Be brave with the ginger, it mellows out as it cooks and is helped along by the sweetness of the dish. The cashew nuts are optional but I am yet to make it without them as I love their crunchy texture and creamy taste. Be sure to serve it with plenty of white fluffy rice. Quicker than waiting for takeout. -- posted by robd16
