Chocolate Banana Monkey Muffins

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:33:34 -0400

I found this recipe in a magazine a few years ago. They use no sugar so they are not quite as sweet as a cupcake, which I prefer because I dont really care for sweets. I make them with my son and he loved them. -- posted by lil' hazard

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

Peanut Butter Balls

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:56:55 -0400

My mom has been making these for me for 25+ years! They are super easy and don't contain anything strange or unhealthy! They work fine with natural peanut butter that doesn't require stirring or refrigeration. I'm not sure about natural peanut butter that does require refrigeration, but I'd love to hear if anyone tries it! (prep time doesn't include chilling) -- posted by Goldieloxx

There are these awesomely delicious things at the Jackson Diner lunch buffet...I have no idea what they're called but they're delicious and I just refer to them as crunch patties. So I tried to make a clone of the recipe. These didn't *quite* turn out the same, but they still turned out good! Yields about 30 teeny fritters. -- posted by the80srule

Mom's Simple Granola

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:51:33 -0400

My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like! -- posted by Hadice

Microwaved Caramel Apples

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:51:15 -0400

I found this to be the quickest and easiest caramel apple recipe I have tried. I started out using 5 bags of caramels, and then added more as I needed. It really does make the operation much easier using lots of caramel, especially when you can cool and store the rest of the caramel to use in other things, or cut up with scissors and eat as a candy. -- posted by Sue L

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

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

Raspberry-Peach Smoothie (Diabetic)

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:53:09 -0500

This recipe is from a health magazine and was created by a Diabetes Education Program Director. It has low glycemic index ingredients such as peaches, apples, milk and yogurt. The moderate glycemic index ingredients would be the raspberries and the high index item would be the honey. It is very yummy and not overly sweet! I think it favors a milk shake!

Super Easy Chips

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:00:52 -0500

This is more about technique than ingredients. It works for corn or flour tortillas, lavash, and similar flat breads. We love homemade tortilla chips, but turning them was driving me nuts until I had a lightbulb moment--so much nicer than my usual senior moments! Six 6" tortillas will fill a standard cookie sheet. If making a big batch you can have two pans going and reverse the order; it doesn't matter which side is cooked first, but it IS easier to watch the tops after changing position. For best results keep the oven door open during the entire process to insure that the heating elements stay on. A wonderful way to supplement winter heat but not a lot of fun on a hot day! -- posted by firefly68

V's Soft Turkey Taquitos With Southwestern Dip

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:58:07 -0500

Every year my dad would make these taquitos with leftover turkey. The corn tortillas are lightly fried in oil, rolled with turkey and sealed on a griddle and come out soft with a nice crunch with the turkey still moist and delicious. These are awesome because they are not deep fried or baked. I took over the tradition and have been making these for years. My family won't eat any leftover turkey in any other form except these soft taquitos. We look forward to these as an appetizer or a meal served with my own Southwestern Dip, Cheese Sauce, Salsa and my Chunky Guacomole the day after thanksgiving. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

The Worst English Muffin Pizza - "the Saddest Pizza for One

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:40:51 -0500

So why are you even looking at this recipe?! It's the worst! My husband and I were talking about how even bad pizza just isn't that bad. He remembered his mom making the box of Chef Boyardee pizza and it being pretty bad. I said I could top that... my mom would make pizza with english muffins and ketchup. Both of our kids were screaming out of fear that I would actually make these pizzas for them. We decided to call it "the Saddest Pizza for One". I had a great time making these for myself when I was four years old. And when you are so desperate for pizza - this is an option.

Fortnum and Masons Authentic Scotch Eggs With Sausage and Herbs

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:06:45 -0500

Freshly boiled eggs are encased in a herb flavoured sausage jacket and are then deep-fried until golden and crisp, delicious! Contrary to popular belief, Scotch eggs are not Scottish, and they were actually invented by the famous London department store Fortnum & Mason in 1738, where they are still available today. The word "Scotch" is an old English word meaning to chop or mince, and obviously, the eggs are covered with chopped or minced pork sausage meat, hence the name Scotch Eggs. They are traditional British picnic food but I also like to serve them as a light lunch or snack, and they make a wonderful addition to the buffet table. These tasty traditional English specialities have had bad press over the years; mainly down to commercial mass production, but if you make them at home with fresh, free-range eggs and the best quality sausage meat, they will taste divine, and they will always be the stars of the picnic hamper or family lunch table! PLEASE use high quality sausage meat or sausages, with at least 70% meat content.Historical Note: Founded in 1707, Fortnum & Mason (F&M) stocks "food fit for a queen". The 300-year-old British department store, famous for its jams, teas, and sauces, provides the Queen with her annual supply of Christmas puddings and holds the "Royal Warrant. -- posted by French Tart

I saw this recipe made on "5 Ingredient Fix" with Claire Robinson on the Food Network. It looks different than other Snow Cream recipes posted here so I thought I'd post it. I haven't tried it yet because I couldn't find espresso powder at the store last weekend, but I will be trying it soon. -- posted by BakerNoMo

Peanut Blossom Cookies

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:02:57 -0500

Janet Greenwood, a long-lost college friend, gave me her husband, Mark's favorite cookie recipe in the early 70's. She typed it on an index card which I've kept in my cookbook for well over 30 years - using it again and again. I thought I'd post it on Zaar for safe-keeping. For me and my family, this is real comfort food. Janet, if you're out there, give me a shout. -- posted by Marsha Mazz

Accidentally the Best Baked Chicken Nuggets Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:29:57 -0500

Accidentally discovered this while playing around with Chinese restaurant classics. My nugget-expert daughter loved them. I use the marinade from http://www.recipezaar.com/Sweet-and-Sour-Pork-43587 (minus the extra salt) and the flouring and baking technique from http://www.recipezaar.com/Baked-Lemon-Chicken-With-Chinese-Lemon-Sauce-194890. The chicken works great with either sauce but my picky kid just loved the chicken by itself. Infact she liked it so much I had to post the recipe. All measurements are approximate; vary the spices based upon your own taste. -- posted by Jes32

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart
