Split Seconds

Thu, 20 Jun 2002 21:55:02 -0400

This is an interesting dessert. I am not sure if you'd call them cookies, cakes or bars but they would be lovely with tea or coffee. They are delicious jam filled sweet treats. I found these in an old cook book and am not sure where the name comes in :) -- posted by Karen=^..^=

Sun, 30 Jun 2002 17:59:45 -0400

Most peaple think this is the best thing we do with our Idaho potatoes! You can't resist these light, fluffy, yummy treats!! Prep time includes time for rising. Fry a few at a time for about 2-3 minutes per side. An electric skillet works well to fry them. -- posted by MizzNezz

Best Vegetarian Pot Stickers

Mon, 01 Jul 2002 18:36:39 -0400

If you like Chinese dumplings, these vegetarian pot stickers will blow your mind!! They are very easy to make (contrary to what people may think) and dumpling skins are available even in Western supermarket now. This recipe should use up one package of round dumpling skin and enough to serve a big crowd as appetizers. You can make these dumplings way ahead of time and defrost and pan-fry them just before serving. A recipe by Ming Tsai. -- posted by Izzy Knight

BY-CRACKY Bars

Mon, 01 Jul 2002 18:44:56 -0400

These are a CHOCOLATE Lover's Fantasy :) Two layers of chocolate delight with graham crackers in between. I have no idea why they are named "By-Cracky" (except for the crackers) since it is one of those recipes I had written down at one time or another over the years, but make often because they are incredibly yummy :) -- posted by Karen=^..^=

Thanks! -- posted by Karen=^..^=

Spiced Vanilla Pecans

Tue, 13 Aug 2002 18:01:55 -0400

I can barely keep a pecan in this house, the minute anyone in my family smells that I have brought home pecans they go after it with their built-in pecan detectors. However, if I announce that I am making these spiced vanilla pecans they actually manage to restrain themselves, but barely, until the pecans are ready, and then they fall upon them like a pack of dogs. These are great for parties, although no matter how much you make they will never be enough. You should start making them the day before you plan to serve them. Prep time includes wait time. -- posted by Mirj

Glazed Doughnuts

Tue, 29 Oct 2002 22:28:31 -0500

This is the recipe my MIL made when I was a child. My SIL, who was a friend from my childhood as well, used to bring these to school for her birthday treats. Our classes always looked forward to 'her' birthday each year! One year I had the privlege of being asked to walk home with her during lunch to help carry them back for the afternoon milk break and birthday treats. Her mom, my future MIL, threw in an extra and said it was for me as a reward for coming with Trudy to help carry them back. After we returned to school, Trudy 'found' someone else she decided she wanted to be her new 'best friend' and decided that she was going to give 'my donut' to 'that' friend instead of me...needless to say, there was no way I was going to let her get away with 'that'! I am sharing this recipe as a result of a request on the boards. This is still the best homemade doughnut recipe that I've come across and I've tried quite a few of them, but always return to this one! Hope you enjoy it as much as my family does... :-)) I've never timed any of the process of making these, so I really don't have a clue. My family also likes to have me cook the center cut-outs as little doughnut balls too. The amount you will get from this recipe will depend on the size of the doughnut cutter(s) you use (I have several sizes). I've never counted; my family begins digging in as soon as they start coming out of the hot grease. I do know that this recipe makes a lot of doughnuts! My MIL has made them for years for the annual family reunion potluck. -- posted by Cindy Lynn

Butterhorns Aka Rugelach / Rugulach / Snails / Schnecken

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 20:30:58 -0500

One of my favorite cookies of all time, these are fabulous warm from oven, but also keep well in an airtight container. My Hungarian/Austrian Grandmom called these "Butterhorns", an aunt on the other side called her version "Schnecken" and I have seen versions of this also under "Rugelach" or "Rululach". It really does not matter what they are called, they are AWESOME!!!! (Chill time not included) -- posted by Karen=^..^=

Flower Ice Bowls

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 20:06:24 -0400

Talk about presentation! These gorgeous frozen floral bowls (edible!) are recommended for cold soups, particularly fruit soups. But I figure anything cold would be more than enhanced by these bowls. You can make a bowl for each serving or one big serving bowl. Recipe discovered in "Cooking Fearlessly: Recipes and other Adventures from Hudson's on the Bend" -- posted by Seebee

I have been eating potato kugel all my life - take it from me, this one is the absolute best. It's from the "Kosher Palette Cookbook" it is crispy on the outside and creamy and, well, 'lacy' on the inside. It freezes very well so I usually double the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by Kishka

Dessert

Thu, 02 Oct 2003 20:00:44 -0400

I got this surprisingly yummy recipe from a former co-worker who informed me that this is called, simply, DESSERT. It's very adaptable. I've made it with butterscotch pudding and crushed Heath Bar and, for Christmas last year, chocolate pudding and crushed green and white striped spearmint candies. Could not be easier, and people seem to universally like it, despite themselves. -- posted by jmelyn

Lorraine's Luscious and Lovely Limoncello

Wed, 08 Oct 2003 20:01:07 -0400

My friend Lorraine B gave me this wonderful recipe when I was looking for an interesting hostess gift. One of the best things about this recipe is that it only takes one week to infuse, as opposed to up to a month that I've seen in other recipes. I actually made a quadruple recipe and got 6 bottles to give as gifts (I kept one for myself, of course!). At last night's preliminary tasting (2 hours after bottling) I can tell you that this is a very refreshing tipple! I'm also going to try this with oranges this winter. -- posted by Mirj

Kuure-ed Chicken (A Yooper-Inspired Recipe)

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 20:00:01 -0400

A lot of you don't know it, but Yooper and I are diet buddies. We were chatting on the phone one Friday morning and he told me how he admired my talent of just "coming up" with a recipe off the top of my head. That morning, with Yoop's words echoing in my head, I created this curried chicken recipe. And guess what, Yooper? It's legal for Somersizing. Non-Sommersizers can serve this with some Basmati rice. Mark, I return the compliment by naming this dish after you! Prep time includes marinating, but cook time does not include crockpot option. -- posted by Mirj

Chocolate Babka

Wed, 22 Oct 2003 20:00:34 -0400

This yeast bread tastes heavenly and looks fantastic. Everyone will wonder how you got the chocolate filling into such an elaborate pattern. But the best part is how great a slice tastes when warmed in the microwave. Recipe makes three loaves so you can give one as a gift, freeze one for later baking and still have one to eat now. Rising and resting times are included in cook time. -- posted by sugarpea

Easy meatloaf

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 20:00:34 -0500

This is my mom's very simple and very delicious meatloaf recipe. **Be careful- it's been reviewed as very salty!! It may not need the salt called for in the recipe. It is probably the Progresso breadcrumbs. I use kosher meat which does not need extra salt because it is already salted and also contributes to the flavor- I've tried and the flavor hasn't come out as good with other meat. -- posted by Pax44

Autumn Chocolates

Norwegian Potato Doughnuts

Mon, 19 Sep 2005 20:49:27 -0400

When I was a little girl my grandfather, who was a full fledged Norwegian, used to make mashed potato donuts for us on those special times when we got to sleep over at my grandparents house. These donuts and wearing angel jammies (my grandfathers white T shirts) are 2 treasured memories of Boppa. This recipe tastes very much like what I remember his tasting like. Prep time includes chilling time. -- posted by LAURIE

Banana Fritters a La Jacques Pepin

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 13:30:38 -0500

This is from Sweet Simplicity: Jacques Pepin's Fruit Desserts. These are all he said it is and more! The batter becomes like a "tempura" batter because of the ice water. We added a large egg because it is included in the directions and not ingredients and it made sense. If there is anyone who can look it up for me, I would appreciate it. I copied the notes by hand, copy machine at library was broken, & I wasn't allowed to check the book out. We made these for the last night of Hanukah, there were a lot of over ripe bananas and went ahead and made the fritters. I had been saving this recipe for awhile - am glad I did. -- posted by Manami

Easy Chocolate-Dipped Apricots (Apricot Chanukah Gelt)

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:52:02 -0500

This is a quick homemade candy delicacy that can also be used as a tastier take on Chanukah gelt, inspired by a recipe in Martha Stewart Living. I used Ghirardelli bitterwsweet baking chocolate bars. After you make the chocolate-dipped apricots, read up on how to play dreidel and use the candies in place of coins. These morsels make a great gift for any occasion. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Mccormick's Peppermint Bark

Sat, 24 Feb 2007 16:47:13 -0500

I found this on the box of McCormick's Pure Peppermint Extract and decided to try it. I'm usually not a fan of Peppermint Bark because the balance of chocolate and peppermint always seems uneven. That being said, this recipe has a great balance to it and even looks great once finished. My boyfriend loved it so much he pleaded with me not to serve it at our dinner party so he could save it all for himself! ;) My only concern with this recipe is that the bark can get stuck if there are too many wrinkles in the foil. I wonder if this could be fixed with wax paper? Let me know what works for you! -- posted by EmJoMay

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 17:32:49 -0500

Ataiyef are a traditional treat for the Jews of Aleppo during Hanukkah, usually eaten during an afternoon break with tea or coffee and on special occasions, such as weddings. Besides Hanukkah, they are also served at engagement parties and at Shavuot, a harvest holiday that commemorates the giving of the Torah. For this recipe, chill the syrup (Shira) before using so that the hot pancakes stay crisp. Recipe adapted from Aromas of Aleppo. Cooking time is approximate. -- posted by Molly53

This recipe is a Dairy recipe. Kosher law prohibits serving milk and meat at the same meal so these would make a great snack. Time listed doesn't account for proofing time. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Creamy Smoked-Salmon Scrambled Eggs over Asiago Potato Pancakes

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:39:33 -0500

My girlfriend (from long ago) Judy and I were served brunch by a friend who is starting her catering business again. We had Champagne Punch & a few other items but all I wanted were those fabulous eggs & potato pancakes! It was so good! It was delicious! ;) I would prefer a white Chardonay or any very dry Spanish wine but what do I know? :) -- posted by Manami

Cheese Latkes

On Chanukah, it is traditional to eat fried foods, in commemoration of the oil which miraculously lasted eight days. These can also be eaten on Shavuot, when it is traditional to eat dairy foods. The recipe comes from Cardiff United Synagogue, in Wales. -- posted by DrGaellon

Potato Latkes (Potato Pancakes)

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:52:50 -0500

Latkas are a tradition for Channukah, but they are great anytime. This recipe makes about 15 latkas, but can easily be doubled or tripled. Easy to make, just allow time to stand at the stove with multiple frying pans. I use every burner that is open to speed it up. Traditionally served with applesauce on the side. Some people also top the pancakes with a little sour cream. -- posted by Karen67

Potato Latkes (Pancakes)

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:15:37 -0500

These are sauteed pancakes, and delicious. This is the way my grandmother made them, and they were served at the Jewish holidays of Hanukah and during the 8 days of Passover, but not at the Seder (dinner and religious service), but for a light supper. They are good served as a side dish with the Winter Vegetable Plate in my cookbook. If you don't have Matzo Meal (which is also great for breading meat or fish),substitute all purpose flour. -- posted by Chef Elaine C.

Mujadarra

This is a fantastic lentil dish. In my quest to find healthier food that my family liked and would actually eat, I decided to try this recipe. It was demonstrated on T.V. by Ali Sabbah from the Mazza Cafe, a Jewish restaurant, in Salt Lake City. My family just ate this up, even my picky five year old boy. I had to post it before I lost the recipe. -- posted by bluesagegirl

A really tasty, easy, and healthy recipe adapted from ''The Low-Fat Jewish Cookbook'' by Faye Levy and printed in the New York Times. They are more like cute, individual kugels than latkes, and are really yummy. -- posted by blucoat

Potato & Cheese Latkes With Apple-Pear Sauce

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:16:25 -0500

I found these online about 6 years ago and never posted them. What I like is that they are savory and a combination of both cheese and potato.The potato-cheese latkes prep time = 15 mins & frying time = 10 mins per batch. The apple-pear sauce prep time = 10 mins & cooking time = 20 mins. While there is nothing like the traditional applesauce and sour cream, here's this variation - easy to make and tastes great!!!!;) -- posted by Manami
