Traditional Minestrone Soup (Easy and Delicious)

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:02:38 -0400

I came up with this recipe after I couldn't find a minestrone recipe that I liked. This one is very simple and delicious, with ingredients that are easy to find. But the great thing about minestrone is that you can use whatever you have on hand. And because the main ingredients are vegetables and beans you can adjust the recipe to fit any dietary needs such as vegetarian or low-sodium. -- posted by JoeyV

Make a batch of this versatile sauce, then serve it all week. You can spoon it over grilled fish, chicken, or meatsor use it to fill quesadillas or burritos. It's even good served as a bruschetta on a sliced baguette. -- posted by blucoat

Refrigerator Dill Pickle Spears

I received this recipe from the McCormick Web site in a weekly e-mail. I have made a few changes to suit our tastes. I now have to limit our family to 1 quart a week or they will eat 3 quarts weekly. This makes a very sour pickle with loads of flavor. It also makes an excellent addition to most cold salads.Hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Magic Fresh Tomato Spaghetti, Pasta or Pizza Sauce

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:32:40 -0400

Check out this trick - a whole, unpeeled tomato goes in the pot, and a tasty, seed-free, peel-free tomato sauce comes out! Okay, well, maybe it's not really magic, but it's a great trick to save you from having to peel, chop, and de-seed all those tomatoes (which is the reason I almost never made sauce from my garden tomatoes until now). We'll take care of the peels and seeds with a blender/food processor and a fine mesh strainer. Yes, a couple of extra things to clean, but it's still faster than all that peeling and chopping! Also, because the peels are cooked in the sauce, you preserve more of the nutrients in them. This is a highly customizable recipe (really more a framework than anything else) - make it smooth or chunky, with meat or vegetarian, regular or low-sodium, or even use it to hide a few extra veggies (a tip for you parents of picky children - you can make them completely undetectable). The quantities are inexact because there's so much variation in the size, taste and texture of fresh tomatoes, and anything else you add will change the flavor. So you really have to adjust the seasonings and other ingredients to compensate. This is part of the art of making tomato sauce, but don't be intimidated! Just add a little bit at a time until it tastes right to you, remembering the axiom: "You can always put more in, but you can't take it back out." Unless you have a real magic wand, of course. :) -- posted by ItalianMama

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:04:11 -0400

After the syrup has cooled pour into ice cube trays and freeze, then pop into freezer bags. One mint cube is perfect in tea, or in a salad dressing, a marinade, or in cocktails. -- posted by Trinkets

Pumpkin Fluff Dip

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:15:34 -0400

This is a Midwestern classic apparently-- a school chum from Iowa told me about this recipe that's popular around fall and early winter, from having leftover cans of pumpkin from stocking up on sale but not wanting to make any more pumpkin pies-- they're popular for high teas, luncheon spreads, Superbowl parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas, or sitting on your can watching The Golden Girls. :D Since I didn't want to use actual marshmallow Fluff...this is my fluffy adaptation of this recipe that came out HEAVENLY. I could eat a drum of this stuff and not get bored of it! One 15 or 16 oz can of pumpkin works, or you can measure out 2 cups from a 28-oz can. You can also use 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the spicing but it tends to be overpowering, the subtler cinnamon and nutmeg is better. -- posted by the80srule

Light Pumpkin Cookies With Splenda Sugar Blend by Kim

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:36:38 -0400

It time for fall and holiday baking. Nothing makes the house smell better, feel warmer, and seem more inviting. This is a great recipe to use your canned , homegrown, or jack-o-lantern flesh. These turn out soft and delicious. For those of you that enjoy the flavor of nutmeg, you may add 1/8 tsp. to the recipe. This recipe certainly doesn't need it though. In fact, I prefer the cookies without it. Don't be afraid to try the Splenda Sugar Blend. It is significantly cheaper than Splenda alone and you can't even tell that you didn't use all that real sugar. No, seriously. If you don't believe me you can substitute the Splenda Sugar Blend with 1/2 cup of sugar. You're going to love these cookies. If you have kids, or a sweet tooth like myself, you could also toss in some chocolate chips. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it would taste great. -- posted by KRice, PA

The cookies freeze well. -- posted by Deantini

Sugar Free Pumpkin Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:46:10 -0400

Completely sugar free dessert! I've been experimenting with a sweetener called "Xylitol" that I buy online and will gradually post recipes with my successful results. I promise never to post a recipe that hasn't passed the "Kid Test". I have four kids who are very, very finicky eaters. My kids CAN tell that these aren't made from real sugar - mostly because I don't have real sugar in my house anymore. But they still love these. I have also served these to friends without anyone knowing they weren't "normal" pumpkin bars. I started looking for a sugar substitute when a dear friend had surgery and became completely intolerant to any processed sugar. Splenda doesn't agree with me and I always prefer 'natural' options when possible. Xylitol IS more expensive than sugar, so experimentation is frustrating sometimes. I hope you will enjoy my successes without having to endure the waste I've had. It has 40% less calories than sugar, 75% less carbs, and has a glycemic index of 7 (compared to sugar at 68 and corn syrup at 100) and my friend can enjoy sweets once again! The key to using this in place of sugar is to MELT the xylitol before adding it to the recipes. I just melt mine in my pyrex measuring bowl in the microwave. I have found it's very important to MELT the Xylitol but not BOIL or otherwise over-heat it, because it does alter it's consistency like sugar. If you heat it too long, when it cools, it becomes rock hard. (I'm still figuring out how to use this to my advantage in fudge and caramels - I'll post when I get a successful outcome.) This pumpkin bar recipe is an adaptation of one I have in an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I also use only whole-wheat flour and try to skim some of the fat (though not all, in order to keep a nice degree of moistness). I buy my Xylitol online. Some bigger cities might have natural/health food stores that sell it in the store, but nothing near me. I pay about $25 per 5 pound bag, so shop around. For me and my family, the switch is worth it. -- posted by Bizy_Mum

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:33:51 -0400

I spied these on Seriouseats.com this week and couldn't resist (they're originally from the bakery Baked). We enjoyed them at our office Halloween party. Recommendation: Eat them fresh -- they lose their punch when they sit overnight in the fridge and can get too wet. Expect a denser, cake-like cookie and not the usual fluffy chocolate whoopie pie. To up the orange color, maybe mix in some food coloring to the icing or add colored sugar to the edges. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Thanksgiving Cranberry Fig Jam

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:37:50 -0400

Aah! The last of the figs from my garden. Thanksgiving is 1 month away so I added cranberries, ginger root, orange, and vanilla. Try it on your turkey or pork roast. Also great on scones or warmed over pancakes making a wonderful holiday breakfast. -- posted by ~Rita~

Delicious Pumpkin Pie

Spooktacular Halloween Pudding Cups

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:17:46 -0400

Super fun Halloween treats that the kids are sure to enjoy. Easy to make and look great to!! I got the idea off of another website that used chocolate pudding but I thought using vanilla and dying it orange would be really cool since the pudding and oreos together would be traditional Halloween colors. This recipe can be easily divided in half and so on. For the pudding I used the kind that you cook verses the instant. I think the cooked pudding has a much nicer and thicker consistancy. The amount below for the oreos is a guesstimate because it wouldn't let me put down 1 large package of oreos but either way just one regular package of oreos crushed is what you need. Enjoy! -- posted by mamawheezy

Butternut Squash Butter

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:01:52 -0500

Found butternut squash at bargain prices and wanted to do a butter with it. I found only 1 recipe online and adapted it into this. Great color and flavor. Perfect spread on toast, pancakes or waffles. This recipe produced 11+ half pint jars. Because winter squashes and pumpkins are not acidic enough, the USDA does NOT recommend canning mashed product. These store in the fridge for 2 months or the freezer for longer storage. -- posted by Tiny kitchen, big chef

Green Tomato Bread

From "Beverly Lewis Amish Heritage Cookbook". The best way my family has found to use up your green tomatoes! Less time, trouble, and equipment than pickling them. Also, you can freeze the loaf cakes. -- posted by RivkaD

Val's Cranberry Salsa

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:27:48 -0500

My friend Val shared this recipe with me last year. It is a new favorite, and one that I plan on taking many places over the holiday season, as it is different. Best served with Wheat Thins, this salsa is yummy and a must try! The original recipe called for a 1 pound package of cranberries; I've found that fresh cranberries are now packaged in 12 oz. portions, and this size works. Don't forget to allow time for chilling, to allow flavors to develop...This will make enough for 2 blocks of cream cheese, so you have 1 to serve, and 1 to share! -- posted by alligirl

Yummy Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:41:35 -0500

I got the idea off of Econobusters, but changed it so much that it's pretty much my own now. For the GF flour mix, I use Recipe #391326 (with almond meal as the last ingredient - so there is some protein that doesn't show up in the nutrition). It rises really well, but needs to cool for awhile before eating. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Lemon Leaves

Sugar, chopped pistachios and lemon peel sprinkled on top of these cookies make them extra special. Feel free to use whatever cookie cutters you have on hand. -- posted by Lizzymommy

Pumpkin Crisp Plus Lower Fat Variations

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:02:03 -0500

This is my husband's favorite dessert. We got the recipe from his uncle Larry. I have made it for may family and it has been requested that I bring it to Thanksgiving again this year. I also made it for a BBQ this summer, and a friend who came to the BBQ asked for the recipe so she could make it for Thanksgiving. It's great anytime, but its a must in my house for Thanksgiving. -- posted by Jennifer Bennifer

Fresh Cranberry Pecan Salad

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:08:06 -0500

This salad is my daughter and mother's favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I used to make it every year for the teachers at my children's school--they RAVED over it. After Thanksgiving, I like to have it as a snack over plain yogurt. It is absolutely to die for! -- posted by Chef #738454

This pumpkin recipe is just outstanding. It is a great change from Pumpkin Pie and it serves so many more people. Every time I serve it, even the pumpkin pie haters beg for the recipe and add it to their Thanksgiving menu the following year. Please try it, I know you will just love it!!!! -- posted by LizP
