Oxtail and Pumpkin Couscous

Sat, 20 Apr 2002 19:27:56 -0400

My MIL's recipe. The oxtail adds such depth to the couscous; it's like gourmet veal stock but half the price. Great Fall recipe for family get-together. -- posted by Izzy Knight

Orzo & Spinach Stuffing

Mon, 04 Nov 2002 23:10:15 -0500

I have not made this but I think it would be a different change from the traditional cornbread stuffing we eat at Thanksgiving time. This was exported from Mastercook. I found it on Recipe Source. (enough for 8-10 lb turkey) -- posted by James Craig

Resurrection Buns (Sweet Easter Buns)

Wed, 09 Apr 2003 20:09:38 -0400

These buns form a 'hollow' in the middle after baking. This hollow represents the empty tomb when Christ arose on Easter. They taste very much like cinnamon buns. YUMMY! -- posted by MapleLeafLili Hill

My Mom's Light Christmas Cake

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 21:48:52 -0400

I don't think I ever saws my Mom make a cake from a mix; she was a superb baker and all around cook, but lovingly remembered for her wonderful Christmas creations (let alone Easter!) amongst which is this rich and lovely Christmas Cake, that I can share with you. In attempting this one, you need remember that it was "always on a budget", so the cherries, peel, etc are not the ones packed in expensive syrupy fluid, but rather the cheaper "candied" ones, often bought in today's "Bulk Barn"... Mom never advocated drinking, but using white rum or brandy in place of the pineapple juice was not unusual, I just can't imagine her writing that out for dissemination in the family reunion cookbook I'm pulling this up from... Where "fruit" is mentioned as an ingredient, most often this meant currants, in semi-dried form, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest chopped dried apricots would work well, too...(remember, this is a "heritage" recipe, Mom was into her 20's in the Dirty Thirties, when you worked from the cheapest ingredients, and there weren't a lot of choices!) -- posted by John DOH

"moose Milk"

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 17:43:41 -0400

An eggnog mixture of old, always enjoyed on January First! A note here is the selection of the rum; there are many favourites, but I would advocate for Lemon Hart Dark, as being the best "mixing" rum to go with the eggnog. (yes you can do this with white tum, Rye, or even Scotch and Brandy, but I wouldn't thank you for the last two!) The drink of choice of too many New Years Day Levees! -- posted by John DOH

Stuffing the Bird

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 11:53:45 -0500

This started from my Mom, a superb "scratch" cook, who could make something from nothing, and carried on through better than 25 years of "tweaking" with her starting recipe. Based on a 16 lb turkey Note to use very fresh spice! Not the old stuff opened more than three months ago! Note I use "12 Grain Bread", quantity "1 loaf", that I can't quite get through the Ingredient List here! -- posted by John DOH

Holiday Shortbread Slice

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 02:24:05 -0500

Shortbread base, but has coconut cherries, nuts etc. with condensed milk. This is from The Country Register. I haven't tried it yet, but this paper always has the most delicious recipes, so I am trusting this one is too. -- posted by cookalot #2
