Pomegranate Glazed Chicken

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:59:27 -0500

Once you have discovered the joy of cooking with the flavor of pomegranate, you will be just delighted!! If you are anything like I was, I tried it with just about everything!! I just love pomegranates, I even keep a good supply on hand in my freezer, so I always have them when I want them. This recipe is so delicious, another way to serve chicken, and served with rice, is just an absolutely delicious meal!! -- posted by Chef mariajane

Gourmet Mac & Cheese W/ Lots of Variations

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:17:50 -0500

Tweak the spices to your liking. I like it also without the paprika, but garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Also try making it cheesier or adding or substituting cheeses. I've made an excellent one with brie. I've also used canned tuna instead of chicken for a quicker version. I have also experimented with different seasonings and rubs for the chicken or tuna, including celery salt, cayenne, rosemary, cumin, etc. Changing the pasta also greatly changes the flavor as well, in my opinion. Can be made with dried spices but I recommend fresh! To go above and beyond, you can also bake the finished casserole with a breadcrumb or other topping. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

White Cheddar and Jalapeno Polenta

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:23:35 -0500

Also try using different types and boldness variations of Cheddar, or sub Monterrey Jack or a mixture thereof. Those shredded Mexican/Taco cheese packages work well too. I use lots of jalapenos!!! Sometimes I add cayenne as well. If you want a milder version, remove the seeds of the jalapenos before you cut them. But try to use as much peppers as you can stand as it really gives it more dimension. Check your local gourmet market for milder peppers as well if you are sensitive to the heat. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Goat Cheese and Zucchini Linguini

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:30:54 -0500

A healthy (well healthier) take on alfredo... I recommend buying your goat cheese in a fresh log and crumbling it yourself as it retains more moisture and melts better! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Truffled Wild Mushroom & Three-Cheese Macaroni/Pasta

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:07:10 -0500

Extremely decadent! Use shaved truffles if you want to splurge, but truffle oil will suffice! (be very wary of a "budget" source on truffles...food poisoning usually follows!) Can be an appetizer or main dish...i recommend the latter : ) I've also done with fettuccine and shells! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Pasta With Lentils

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:08:31 -0500

A couple of notes about this recipe. First of all, this is a recipe for one person. I know that doesn't seem true, but the 4 coups of water boil down really fast. Secondly, I usually soak my lentils beforehand because it makes them cook quicker. Third, I put "2 oz" of pasta, because that's usually the serving size for one person for pasta... sometimes it's 1/4 of a cup, and sometimes it's more. Just go with what the box says, or whatever you feel is good for you. Also, you can do it with rice instead of pasta if you so desire! It's equally as yummy! -- posted by michelle!

Chicken and Rice

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:12:05 -0500

Alright, I'm a big fan of one-pot meals, and most of my meals I make for one person, because I live alone. So you can always make more if you want to! This one is really super easy though. Also, I'm talking about the SMALL bullion cubes, NOT the big ones! Also, I use low-sodium soy sauce -- posted by michelle!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:02:48 -0500

I had a next-door neighbor who gave the original recipe to my mom. I modified it slightly by adding Ah-So sauce to the pork. It's delicious and fairly simple. I highly recommend preparing it a day in advance so that the hoisin sauce has enough time to mellow out. -- posted by Chrissy Sweettooth

Italian 1 Pot Meal

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:13:50 -0500

Shrimp and Rice Casserole

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:31:40 -0500

I haven't made this yet but it sounds yummy to me. Recipe comes from The old Farmer's Almanac. It was submitted by Mrs. Henrietta McClellan. I'm thinking that cream of shrimp soup might be a good substitute for the cream of mushroom soup. At the holiday season this would be pretty made with red and green bell pepper. This casserole is also good topped with grated asiago or longhorn cheese. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Super Thin Pizza Dough

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:59:51 -0500

I experimented with a great recipe for dough, #70165, I use both now because sometimes I want my pizza "super" thin and other times just thin. Special note, I learned that when dealing with yeast it is important to have everything at room temperature, or slightly warm. This includes all ingredients, utensils, and bowls. I also use a great pizza sauce recipe, #114392. (It calls for tomato paste but I sometimes use just all tomato sauce. I like my pizza saucy!) -- posted by Terri Crooks

Jamie Oliver Mac N Cheese

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:02:17 -0500

Jamie: ''Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any tubular pasta you want. I've made this dish my own by lightening it with sweet tomatoes and given it some crunch with delicious breadcrumbs. Just you wait till you try it! This dish isn't going to win any prizes in the nutrition department, but you can, and should, balance it with a nice salad. If you only have it once in a while as a special treat it'll do you no harm." Haven't tried it yet but it sounds so good so posted for safe keeping.. Preperation and cooking time are estimates -- posted by mamaDlicious

Italian Polenta

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:03:41 -0500

Spinach Mushroom and Artichoke Soup- Fast and Figure Friendly

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:41:20 -0500

This is something I whipped up last night in my attempt to eat healthier! This makes a soup that very thick with vegetables and leaves you feeling full and satisfied. If you want a soup that is thinner just add more broth. This would be a great soup for a brunch or dinner party as it can be completed and left to simmer until you are ready to serve. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Flexible Risotto

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:40:50 -0500

This is my basic rice recipe. I like it because I can throw whatever's in the cupboard in or just make it with onion. You can add about a 1/4 cup of any kind of veggie you like to the onions when you sauté them to add flavor. Ive added mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers et cetera to the onions. It can be made with cheese or without. I like to use Parmesan but have used cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella in a pinch. I find its creamy even without any cheese. Careful not to over salt, youll ruin it. Using broth made from bouillon is way too salty for me personally. Enjoy! -- posted by ohNeiko

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:57:46 -0500

This soup is vaguely a borscht, with a sweet & sour tang and a red-tinged broth. I've settled on tomato paste as cheap and the right tomato-iness for us. I used to freeze cubes of crushed tomatoes and use five or so in a batch of soup. One friend put garden-fresh tomatoes in. -- posted by 10in10Diet.com

Soba Noodle Salad With Peanut Sauce

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:48:34 -0500

From Betty Crocker; the preparation time includes two hours post-cooking refrigeration. I'm posting the recipe as listed, but I made some changes: I used French-style frozen green beans, lite soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sugar-free syrup in place of the honey. I didn't have chili paste, so I used extra-hot salsa instead. -- posted by brokenburner

A great dish to make if you are having lots of company or to take to a potluck. Add whatever you think you would like. I have made this in a large chafing dish and served it at a birthday party. You can also make this in a large foil or hotel tray. OR scale it down to have just with your family. I always use low fat ingredients, but this works with full fat products as well. Serve with crusty rolls and salad. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Grandma Linda's Thanksgiving Dressing

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:22:41 -0500

My mother has made this dressing for our family since I was a little girl. It is the only Thanksgiving dressing my family will eat. I would weigh 500 pounds if I made this dressing as often as I craved it! Although I know most people prefer holiday recipes that have been passed down in their own families, I hope you will enjoy this Thanksgiving dressing recipe that the McWell's have enjoyed for many, many years! My mother used Jiffy corn bread mix in the old days, then later switched to Marie Calender's corn bread mix. In this recipe, I am using the "sweet corn muffins" recipe on a box of Albers Yellow Corn Meal. Because I am using Albers brand corn meal, all ingredients up to "12 Tbs butter" are for this particular brand cornmeal. If using any other cornbread mix, follow directions on the box, then add ingredients beginning with "1 Lb bacon." This recipe is for Thanksgiving so it makes quite a large amount. Thanks Mom! -- posted by Mrs Cook

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

Southern Grits Rice-Style

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:10:29 -0500

I've been researching better ways to cook my grains. I scrapped everything I knew about how to cook grits and decided to try cooking them as if I were cooking Japonica rice. The result? The creamiest grits I've ever made. I will never make grits another way again. -- posted by EdithAnn

Amazing Chicken Noodle Soup With Acorn Squash

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:57:12 -0500

Don't be deceived by the lack of added seasonings. It is full of flavor! Adding the squash makes the whole thing rich and smooth, with a color and consistency similar to Kraft Mac'N'Cheese! Delicious! Even my daughters loved it! (3 yrs & 7 mos) I just took the chicken out for my baby girl, mashed it up, and she couldn't have enough! This recipe makes a whole stock-pot full, and it's super easy to make, so it's a great one to make and freeze the leftovers. I was going to, but it we scarfed it all up in 2 days! -- posted by Chef #1459874
