Aurora Somazzi Clerici's Italian Spaghetti Sauce

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:00:19 -0400

My husband's great grandparents setteled in Napa after coming to America from Lugano, Switzerland. Lugano is a town on the border between Italy and Switzerland and has a long roman history- hence the italian style of foods. This is a great sauce that is easy to make and will fill your home with wonderful smells and healthy appetites. Makes about 3 quarts of finished sauce. -- posted by Napa Goat Ranch

Oil Free Oven Fried Rice

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:57:40 -0400

This is another recipe my BF's mother gave me that I have revamped and made healthier. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup oil which I felt was unnecessary, I removed it completely and the recipe still turned out great. It also called for 3 ½ cups water and 2 chicken bouillon cubes; I cut down on the sodium by using low sodium chicken broth instead. -- posted by katdi

Quinoa - Risotto Style 1

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:07:28 -0400

This is my own recipe. I like it, as it's a fast way to eat well and feel great... Quinoa, poblano peppers and parmesan ! Don't use kraft powder. Buy some real parmesan or, even better, Belgioioso 'American Grana' if you're in the USA -- by far one of the best "parmesan" style cheeses you can find in the states. The fact that they admit it's American, gets you over a psychological barrier, and it's just a great product. You'll become addicted...eat it with fruit : figs, mango, guava... -- posted by Asd;MRS-NYC

Shrimp Stuffed Bell Peppers

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:38:14 -0400

Have no idea where I got this recipe some 40 or so years ago! It was a favorite with my family. I like to use couscous but it also works well with cooked rice. The measurements, as listed, should stuff 4 "average-size" home-grown peppers. If using particularly large or small ones, adjustments may need to be made. Shrimp all those years ago were cheap. But even still, sometimes the budget was tight. Those were the times there was more couscous and less shrimp in the stuffing!! Still good, though. -- posted by Chef #870094

Sensational Rice Custard Pudding

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:51:24 -0400

This is a very old recipe that was my husband's grandmother's own creation. She was well known for her cooking and baking. I have been making this for over 40 years and always get raving reviews. Once, a cousin gifted me with a very large glass bowl that had 8 smaller serving dishes. She included a note that this was to become 'the family dinners rice custard pudding bowl' as everyone requested that I make it for all our gatherings! For a creamier custard pudding, use Aborio rice or a medium grain rice; I prefer the short Aborio rice. Never use instant rice. You may wish to use less sugar as this is a very sweet custard pudding, due to the condensed milk. I hope this becomes a favorite of your family too! -- posted by Debaylady

Chicken and Veggetable Pasta

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:57:50 -0500

Simple and quick pasta that you can make with almost anything you have in the house (only a few of the ingredients are things you may not have). Doesn't use pasta sauce, olive oil and spices instead, and tons of veggies or just a few. (can be made for anyone who loves or hates veggies!) Many other vegetables are good options but I use these commonly (I would try artichoke hearts and other things if my boyfriend would eat them) -- posted by RealHalfTimeShow

I got the recipe from Canadian Living and it is a really nice rice with a subtle flavour. If you want more flavour you could add green salsa or hot peppers. The rice is meant to be served as a side to those dishes you don't want to have overpowered by the side. Quick and simple. -- posted by Deantini

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

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

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Super Easy Chips

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:00:52 -0500

This is more about technique than ingredients. It works for corn or flour tortillas, lavash, and similar flat breads. We love homemade tortilla chips, but turning them was driving me nuts until I had a lightbulb moment--so much nicer than my usual senior moments! Six 6" tortillas will fill a standard cookie sheet. If making a big batch you can have two pans going and reverse the order; it doesn't matter which side is cooked first, but it IS easier to watch the tops after changing position. For best results keep the oven door open during the entire process to insure that the heating elements stay on. A wonderful way to supplement winter heat but not a lot of fun on a hot day! -- posted by firefly68

Foolproof Baked Brown Rice

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:21:04 -0500

I got so tired of doing brown rice on the stovetop -- messes from sputtery lidsz and boil-overs, burnt or stuck rice in the pot. But I really didn't want another appliance (rice cooker)... But this method is GREAT and foolproof! NO MESS, easy and you don't hav to watch like a hawk. I'm sure this would work for any kind of rice, but you'd have to adjust time and the amount of water. I'll never do brown rice on the stovvetop again! -- posted by Meredith K.
