Sue's Rhubarb Platz

Thu, 15 Jan 2004 20:01:06 -0500

When I moved to Winnipeg over 20 years ago, I adopted a lady from my church as my "Winnipeg Mom". This is her recipe. She was an excellent cook and enjoying baking. This fruit square is really good warm with whipped cream or ice cream, but can also be served cold. Other fruit in season can be used in place of rhubarb and in winter you can used fruit like dried apricots. -- posted by Shar-on

Cheese and Egg Sandwich Filling

Mon, 06 Jun 2005 12:38:55 -0400

Nothing fancy here but it worked to make a sandwich a little different from the usual egg sandwich to put in lunches. The original version came from a recipe leaflet that came from the local electric company about 30 years ago. It called for using process cheese and no dressing and chopping everything together in a food chopper(gotta use more electricity for the electric company!) but I prefer the cheddar, doing the prep by hand and usually use Miracle Whip to bind it together as I like it rather than mashing it all together in a food chopper. -- posted by teapotter

Moist Fudgy Pecan Brownies

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 11:07:41 -0500

I LOVE baking, but my problem is I make a big recipe & then I get sick of it before it is all eaten. So I bought a small-batch baking book! The recipes are great & they make just enough for one or two to enjoy. That way you can try lots more recipes! this is one of these great small batch recipes. Enjoy! -- posted by Kennybabe

Chocolate Cake

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 17:34:55 -0500

This is our family's favorite chocolate cake. The addition of coffee makes a rich tasting cake. Also the oil instead of butter is healthier. I sometimes add grated orange peel. -- posted by cookalot #2

Apricot-Balsamic Glazed and Grilled Chicken

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:42:42 -0400

From Rachael Ray's Sept. '08 "Everyday" magazine, so you know it's savory and simple--all at once. Her recipe called for apricot preserves, but I'm using up MIL's Peach Jam, and we loved it just fine. Also, I used only 2 chicken breast halves (paillard-cut) for four of us and we had leftovers (our chickens are very large!), so adjust the recipe up or down accordingly. -- posted by Debber

Caesar Salad Crusty Bread for Cold Wintry Evening

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 19:17:24 -0500

A crusty bread with cheese and garlic filling oozing out, enticing the senses with deliciousness. Thanks to Marcy Goldman *A Passion For Baking* for this luscious, rustic bread. I've made a few alterations to the original for my family's tastes. Try this with soup, chili or stew on a cold wintry evening--you won't be sorry! COOKING TIME includes two risings of the dough--PLAN AHEAD!! -- posted by Debber

Apricot-Almond Energy Bars

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:13:32 -0400

This is the greatest recipe because you can substitute pretty much every ingredient. It's so kid friendly (eating and making!) It's cost-effective and so tasty to eat. My health conscious sister passed this recipe to me - so I know it's healthy too. How can you resist a recipe like this? -- posted by Aunty Peach

Watermelon Sherbet Smoothies (Better Than Sprinkler- Jumping!)

You won't need to run through the sprinkler to cool off when you're having one of these babies! The kids will love you, your friends will think you've worked for hours (you haven't!), and your spouse will be thrilled you saved so much money on this lovely "dessert"....

Country Caramel Apples Around the Campfire

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:27:24 -0400

Here's a recipe that is sure to draw some oohs and aahs from your favorite diners! An easy-to-make, simple way to end the day while camping or on the back deck. The hardest part is coring the apples. Try stuffing the core with other melty sweet treats: chocolate caramels, cinnamon Red Hots, Lemon Drops, Gummy Bears. Oooohh...! The original recipe came from the Lutheran Girl Pioneer Camping cookbook. COOKING TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE getting the fire or grill coals going. This is a good recipe to put on as the fire is dying down---or AFTER you've pulled the meat off the grill--while you're eating supper. These will cook all by themselves while you're eating! -- posted by Debber

Campfire S'mores (Aka Robinson Crusoes)

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:16:10 -0400

If you like regular S'mores, you're going to LOVE these! Start with chocolate graham crackers, smear on some creamy peanut butter, add the chocolate candy pieces, the melty marshmallow; then top with the other square of graham cracker. THE TRICK to making these perfectly is being patient while the marshmallow is roasting....don't stick it into the fire, twirl it slowly over the warmth, so that it starts to swell up. That's your signal that the inside is getting all soft and smooshy--just right for perfect s'mores. I first made these back in the early 90's when taking 10 girls on a church youth camp-out in eastern Washington State. We cooked all our meals over the open-fire (no campstove!!) including chocolate chip pancakes MADE FROM SCRATCH, pioneer hotdogs (yum, yum!) and caramel apples roasted in the coals. I guess I need to post those recipes too. After all...it's summer-time and people are camping!!! -- posted by Debber

Bake Sale Time: Rice Krispies W/ Malted Milk Ball Bars

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:18:02 -0400

Here's one to add to your bake sale repertoire--and they'll be just enough different [but still the same thing] to get the kids curious, and good enough that they'll sell like "hot cakes!" Save a couple for the home-folks, because you won't be bringing any home when you take these to the potluck or family reunion picnic! I use two bowls (recycle the first one) so I have everything ready to pour and mix--goes much quicker and no wasting time to measure when the stuff is hot! Again, the gals at Taste of Home get all the credit--Aug/Sep '09. -- posted by Debber
