Chicken Ala Goopy

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:14:44 -0500

This recipe has been a favorite in my family for over 20 years. It got this crazy name when my son was a little fella and asked for "chicken with goopies" it took me a while to figure out he was asking for the following recipe which I had tried out on the family the week previous. The chicken is fall apart tender and the sauce is not at all what you'd expect from the ingedients. It's similiar to a sweet and sour chicken. It couldn't be easier! -- posted by jneen

Twice-Baked Potatoes

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:28:41 -0500

These twice-baked potatoes, stuffed with cheddar cheese and bacon, are just the way my mother used to make them. I always loved the addition of the green onions. When you are feeling indulgent (these potatoes may not be for the weight conscious!) and are in the mood for a good steak and potatoes, try these! They are also good served alongside prime rib, chicken, or pork (even good all by themselves). Double or triple the recipe for your dinner parties. And, they can even be prepared upto 2 days ahead...just cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to do the final bake. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

V's Simple Savory Mexican Quiche

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:42:45 -0500

This quiche is beautiful & delish! If you crave something savory for breakfast try my simple quiche. These are ingredients I always have on hand and can whip this up a head of time or in the morning. Measurements can be altered to taste. If you like spicy, savory add more, if not, add less. The salsa gives this quiche a nice kick and the flavors of cilantro, sausage and potatoes add to the taste and textures. This is a family favorite in my house. Great for overnight company as it feeds alot. Serve with sliced avocado, sour cream or salsa on the side. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

My mother used to make these for card parties. I make them on those nights when the hubby and I want munchies and not a big meal. I have also made them for football parties, and people love them. They are super easy, but really tasty. Some tasty sausage choices are the chicken habanero with jack cheese, jalapeno and cheese, turkey n cheddar, or just regular smoked sausage. You will find them over next to the hot dogs, and there are usually 4 or 5 to a package (Johnsonville or Bistro Sensations are good). -- posted by CharlieGal

Peanut Sauce

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:48:02 -0500

After trying all kinds of recipes for a basic sauce, this is my own version. My boys will eat almost any veggie stir-fried or blanched and served with this sauce! I use a coffee grinder set aside especially for nuts. You can use a blender or handheld nut chopper. It has a great texture smooth or chunky. I like to offer chopped cilantro and lime zest or juice when dishing up the veggies, meat or noodles and sauce. -- posted by joycooking

Classic Skillet or Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:16:32 -0500

This is just good 'ol mac and cheese- rich, creamy and satisfying. Any cheese you like can be put in there, and any shaped noodle will work (though I think elbows, penne and rotini work best). Whole milk makes a richer mac and cheese, but didn't miss it here (and dh only will drink whole milk!). This will serve 8 adults a main course, more if there are kids or as a side. -- posted by newmama

My mother got this from my grandmother and her mother. The word meatloaf just doesn't sound appealing, but after making it for my husband for the first time, he was in love. Now everytime I make meatloaf he is on top of the world. This dish is even a child pleaser as my 4 year old daughter is begging for seconds. To make it a little healthier, I use a loaf pan with an insert so that the oil and grease from the beef drain away and the meatloaf is not sitting in it. -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy

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

This is a really easy bread to make, and tastes amazing! Try this and you will never buy french bread again! I got recipe from a cooking group and it was submitted by Laura H. Thanks for the recipe! I do not use the cornmeal because I hate cornmeal, but to each their own. -- posted by tnsmom

After searching for recipes including ramen noodles and frozen veggies, I found that the way I made them was different than what was recommended since I had one of the packages of frozen veggies that steams when you microwave it. -- posted by kathi823

This is a very old recipe from Eagle Brand®. I thought I should post it in time for the American Thanksgiving. It has very few ingredients and takes very little time to make. And it's good! Enjoy! -- posted by Nif
