Guinness Cupcakes

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:35:49 -0500

Nigella Lawson's Guinness Cake is much talked about. This is a downsized version of my adaptions to her recipe, perfect for making 12 delicious cupcakes that look like miniature pints of Guinness. It's a bit of a grown up delicacy, the flavours might be a little rich for young kids, but chocoaholics and Guinness lovers will be delighted. -- posted by Jillsybean

Glazed Roasted Chestnuts

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:20:13 -0500

Yes! Hot roasted chestnuts need only a touch of salt. But once cooled this is the way to reheat them adding more sweet nutty flavor. To roast chestnut check out Recipe #108746 or buy jarred shelled chestnuts. If you make a lot you can chop them and add to a stuffing/ dressing, soup or use in a dessert. -- posted by ~Rita~

Chocolate Crunch Salad

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:04:08 -0500

A wonderful recipe that combines a rich, tropical essence with a natural crunch. This simple and easy recipe will have you licking your plate! It's natural, raw, and combines sweet with bitter in a way that shouldn't be possible. However not only is this possible, it's delicious. This is adapted from Freedom's Raw Recipes (http://bit.ly/1IeyHo) and modified so that it requires no special equipment. All you will need to make this recipe is a knife and a blender. -- posted by Winkyboy

Breakfast Burrito (With Pepperoni & Peppers)

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:11:17 -0500

Breakfast burritos are fast & easy to make. What makes this one unique from others is the greek seasoning & combination of vegys.

Raisin Muffin Bread Pudding

Lentil Skillet (With Cumin and Lemon)

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:20:17 -0500

Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful. I tend to cut the recipe in half, and then use less olive oil and more cumin. Also I sometimes find the uncooked garlic a bit harsh; wilting it a bit in the bottom of the pan may be wise. -- posted by Michelle from Central Time

My Greek Salad

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:47:39 -0500

This recipe has been in my family for at least 4 generations, since at least the 1870s. It is recommended that it be served hot, with real butter. The amount of honey is a guess - the original recipe said "Honey to drizzle" but didn't give a quantity. -- posted by SnoBahr

Roasted Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:14:23 -0500

This is my adaptation of several squash recipes I've seen. This is a great recipe for a first course of dinner, lunch or snack. It can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time (bring to work!). Reheat refrigerated soup before adding garnish. For vegan option, use Vegetable stock rather than chicken stock, substitute olive oil for the butter and omit the cream. Make sure to use a vegan wine as well. -- posted by Austin Vegas

Key Lime Meringue Pie Made With No Condensed Milk

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:36:13 -0500

I have this thing about canned condensed milk. Every time I look at the number of calories in the can, I just balk at using it. But I do love Key Lime Pie in spite of the fact that most recipes use the condensed milk. So I was delighted to find a recipe for this favorite without the condensed milk. It may end up having the same number of calories, but I will just feel better knowing I avoided the high-calorie milk. I have not yet tried this recipe; I am saving it for a special occasion. Note that preparation time includes cooling time. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:36:53 -0500

Creamy Hash Brown Potato Casserole

This hash brown potato casserole recipe is the best I've ever had. The extra sour cream really makes it moist unlike other, drier recipes! The Velveeta shredded cheese is very important. If you can't find it in a superstore retailer's grocery section, try a dedicated grocery store. This recipe came from my good friend Nancy. -- posted by ryanb006

A savory bread pudding, makes a great brunch dish. Classic carbonara flavors. My own idea. I used 4 stale English muffins, cut into 3/4" cubes, but any crusty bread (baguette, ciabatta) would work well. -- posted by DrGaellon

Recipe from Eating Well's November/December 2009 magazine; it is low carb and low calorie but packed full of flavor.

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

Cauliflower Steaks With Cauliflower Purée

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:40 -0500

Originally found on Epicurious, great easy recipe. Few ingredients, big payoff: Large "steaks" are cut from a head of cauliflower, sautéed until golden, then baked until tender. They're served over a simple puree made from the cauliflower florets. An impressive first course, this can also be a lovely side. Just sear two mahi-mahi fillets in butter and place them alongside the cauliflower. -- posted by jwith12

Sweet Braised Whole Scallions (Molly Stevens)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:55 -0500

This would be a fabulous, easy side dish for Thanksgiving. "As the scallions braise, the sweet anise flavor of the tarragon mingles with their oniony juices, giving the whole dish a candy-like sweetness. If you cant find fresh tarragon, or simply dont care for its taste, substitute fresh parsley or omit the herb altogether. The scallions will still taste delicious." Recipe is from "All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking" by Molly Stevens. -- posted by blucoat

Pakistani Style Bhindi Ka Salan (Okra/Ladyfinger Curry)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:57:55 -0500

Back in the days when I was a child every time my mother made this dish it was considered a treat among me & my siblings. Besides potatoes & peas, okra/ladyfinger is another all time favorite vegetable among the Pakistani population. It is usually served with roti/chapatti & yogurt or sometimes with Masoor Dal (lentil) here is the recipe of a basic okra curry that was passed down from my grandmother to my mom & down to me. Its the tomatoes that give it a different taste compared to the other recipes posted so far. Note if you want to make "Bhindi Gosht" (Okra curry with mutton) after frying the onions add mutton, let it cook on medium low heat for 20 minutes, then follow the rest of the recipe. You can also add 1/2 cup water to make it a little saucy. -- posted by Bint e Naeem

Skillet Spiced Cranberry Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:58:50 -0500

I like to serve this easy one-pan dish throughout the holidays, when fresh cranberries are in season! Frozen or dried cranberries could also be used, for all year round appeal. Feel free to adjust sweetness to your tastes (we like it tangy). This chicken is great served with stuffing or rice, and your favorite seasonal vegetables. -- posted by BecR

Spiced Baked Pears

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:05:52 -0500

This is a perennial favorite for Thanksgiving! It's adapted from a recipe for Spiced Baked Apples by Lorraine Chausse on allrecipes. The pears make a really lovely presentation for dinner parties and can cook while you eat dinner. The recipe states 6 servings, but you can also halve them and just ladle the sauce over the half. These are yummy served by themselves or with some vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Heidigal

Pecan Pie Brownies -- Version II

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:43:37 -0500

Here's how to please chocolate lovers and pecan pie lovers with one scrumptious bar. These are the creation of Camilla V. Saulsbury and appeared in her book: Brownie Mix Bliss. These bars have a bottom of chewy chocolate brownie topped with the familiar brown sugar pecan goodness of pecan pie. The author prefers a cakey brownie to contrast with the pecan filling which is why she calls for the three eggs in the brownie batter. But if you want a fudgy brownie, reduce the eggs to 2. Do give these a try! -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Tom Yum Soup With Vegetables

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:14 -0500

Thai Tom Yum soup is a delicious and aromatic Thai soup. I crave this soup ALL of the time. I have brought this to parties and people always rave about it. Now friends always ask me to make it whenever we're getting together. I made it completely from scratch for years. A few years ago, I started using the paste and prefer it. I find it to be more flavorful. Tom Yum is distinctly known for it's hot and sour flavor. My version maintains the distinct hotness and sourness of the traditional soup but it also is slightly sweet and spicy. I make a side of jasmine rice and serve it with the soup. I noted the ingredients and amounts I use however, I encourage additions, deletions and alterations. I don't care for the mushrooms and I love broccoli which may come as a surprise to some. Broccoli is not a traditional component of this recipe but it's healthy and I find that it goes nicely with the broth. Play and have fun! -- posted by Proserpine79

Cranberry Orange Holiday Relish

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:11:17 -0500

There are many versions of this basic recipe. This little riff adds a little extra color and crunch to an already delightful side dish that is rich in both flavor and fiber. Add different fruits, and it becomes yet another kind of salad, beautiful in its ruby-redness, especially on a bed of greens. Note: the toasted pecans are nice added the day before serving, but as time goes on, they become less crunchy - but still add a great flavor. This relish can be held in the refrig for a week or so, and can be frozen as well. -- posted by MaryRich

Pecan Shortbread Cookies

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:04:26 -0500

Karen DeMasco beats the dough for these buttery cookies with an entire vanilla bean, so the oils in the pod add deep vanilla flavor. By rolling the dough in turbinado sugar before slicing and baking the cookies, she makes them extra-crispy. (Recipe adapted from The Craft of Baking.)

Hot Shot Cinnamon Overload

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:33:20 -0500

Sometimes I just want a strong cinnamon coffee with no other flavors added this was made for just such a time. This is goodness in its purest form but, of course, the amount of liqueur is easily adjustable to personal taste, if you like less or more, just make it as you like it. I prefer it hot but it would be quite adaptable to being made as an iced coffee also. Please note that any cinnamon liqueur that you like will work just fine. -- posted by Annacia
