Being so close to Canadian Thanksgiving, I thought this recipe might be handy. It is traditional in our family and served quite thick to pour over mashed potatoes.

Planked Salmon With Onion and Mustard Seed

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 22:04:31 -0400

My wife originally found this in a book called "sticks & stones" that features some unique twists on grilling. This is my version of their dish. The mustard seeds will "pop" during cooking and add their flavor to the fish. Serving size will depend on the size of fillets you use. This is supposed to be a variation of an old Northwest American Indian recipe. -- posted by GourmetPappa

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

Alaskan Blueberry Lemon Tea Bread

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:35:27 -0500

When I lived in Alaska, during blueberry season it was fun to climb the mountains and pick blueberries. The one hazard was that the bears were doing the same thing so it was a race to see who got the most berries during the season. The joke is that if you saw a large pile of blueberries on the trail, turn around and go away because it means bears are in the area. Bears don't digest blueberries very well so they come out whole alot of the time. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Uncle Ronnie's Bleu Cheese Dressing

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:12:37 -0500

This is my family's favorite bleu cheese dressing- I have no idea where Uncle Ronnie got the recipe, but I'm glad he did. You can use any bleu cheese- my current fave is Danish Blue, but you can use any domestic or imported blue type- gorgonzola, etc.- to great effect! If you're going to use it all really quickly, you can add minced fresh parsley, too- it really boosts the flavor, but won't keep as long. (And if you can't use it up fast enough, use it in the Bleu Cheese Hot Wings recipe!) -- posted by Leopardstripes

Sixteen Spice Chicken - Mesa Grill

Fri, 09 May 2008 19:26:59 -0400

I had this chicken at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas and fell in love with it! The chef gave me the recipe for the Mesa Grill Poultry Rub! The rest of the recipe is mine. It's the juiciest chicken you will ever have, even the next day. You can make this on your rotisserie, in the oven, or on the grill. The following cooking times are only approximations, as all rotisseries, ovens and grills are different. Please refer to your owners manual. ROTISSERIE: 400 degrees @ 15 minutes per pound. OVEN: 400 Degrees for @ 15 minutes per pound GRILL: Coals on one side of grill, chicken on the other side @ 15 minutes per pound. Prep time does not include brining time. -- posted by Humble Bee

Cedar Planked Fresh Salmon Fillet With Spiced Cranberry Relish

Mon, 19 May 2008 01:47:54 -0400

This is a traditional and very special way of cooking the omnipresent and excellent fresh salmon that you find in Canada or the Pacific Northwest in the USA! You just have to remember to soak your cedar plank or shingle for at least 3 - 4 hours prior to cooking. The soy and orange marinated salmon fillet takes on a wonderful smoky flavour when cooked this way, and marries so well with the slightly tart and Oriental flavours of the cranberry relish. Serve with garlic-roasted or steamed new potatoes, wild rice, asparagus and assorted hot or cold salads. Preparation time includes the time to soak the cedar planks. (Planks can be used several times if soaked well and used over indirect heat. After use, rinse the plank thoroughly with warm water. Use a scrubbing brush if needed!) This planked salmon can be grilled or broiled, cooked in a kettle BBQ or over a wood fire. -- posted by French Tart

Green Chili-Cheese Compound Butter

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:26:22 -0400

This is a fabulous compound butter for fish, corn bread or muffins, corn on the cob or just to slather across a slice of bread. This butter freezes well as long as it is protected from the beastly odors that live in your freezer. Make sure to wrap well in plastic wrap and place in a Ziploc freezer bag. Or place in a container with a tight fitting lid placing plastic wrap on top- in contact with the butter itself. -- posted by Humble Bee
