Spring Greens With Herb and Lemon Goat Cheese Crostini

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:08:00 -0400

Another great recipe from Martha Holmberg printed in The Oregonian. Without the salad, the crostini make a lovely appetizer to serve with a glass of sauvignon blanc. To make them more bite size, just spoon the herb cheese onto crackers or cut the baguette slices in half. -- posted by dimply dots

Tropical Fruity Jello

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:30:51 -0400

To make jello a little more interesting, I added my favourite tropical fruits and it worked beautifully! This is so refreshing on a hot day and the low sugar version is great for waistline-watchers. I use sugar free jello but feel free to use a small packet of regular peach jello. I have been told that fresh pineapple prevents gelatin from setting so only use canned for this recipe. Cook time is chilling time. -- posted by Shuzbud

Lemon Verbena Ice Cream from a French Country Herb Garden

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:53:00 -0400

I grow many old fashioned and unusual herbs in my garden in France, and although many people know Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena is not so well known, which is such a shame! For me the flavour is MUCH more lemony and intense than Lemon Balm - think lemon sherbet, and you have a good idea of what to expect! The plant has graceful pointed leaves that are a gorgeous pale green in colour. Just scrunching a leaf in your hand to release the aromas can help fatigue or a headache. This is an ice cream I came up with to refresh and revive even the most jaded of palates refreshing and with an amazing lemony zing! You should be able to source Lemon Verbena at any good Farmer's Markets - alternatively, make friends with someone who grows it! (Prep time includes the time to infuse the leaves to extract the flavour.) -- posted by French Tart

Cheesy Mexican Turkey Burgers

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:23:38 -0400

Perfect Summer Sandwich (Tomato, Basil, Cheese)

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:21:12 -0400

This sandwich screams summer to me. I made it after going to the farmer's market and getting lots of fresh ingredients, including wonderful herbed ciabatta bread. If you don't like garlic much, just rub a clove on there (sliced to get the flavor. This is also delicious cold, or with a drizzle or balsamic vinegar on the tomato. For a slightly different (equally tasty, if you ask me) option, use havarti slices instead of mozzarella. Enjoy! -- posted by newmama

Sour Cream and Chive Potato Salad (With Dill!)

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:03:08 -0400

Potato salad is versatile. You can play around with the ingredients, so dont let anything stop you. This is a Party Size recipe, but can be easily halved. I prefer peeled potatoes, but if you prefer unpeeled red potatoes, thats perfectly ok and it sure makes a prettier potato salad! -- posted by Ayah Elisabeth

Ensalada Taracita

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:50:11 -0400

Spicy and sassy, this Tex-Mex influenced salad tastes alive and looks alluring. The idea begins with a common go-to salsa salad, but my improvisations make it one of a kind. Have fun with flavors as you add and subtract your own favorite fruits, veggies, and dressings. I don't use a dressing as the fruit juice and pico de gallo usually add plenty of flavorful moisture. A mango vinaigrette would be nice though. -- posted by taradelyce85

Burger King's Whopper has always been my favorite. Now I have 2 favorites! Here is a great recipe, very close to Burger Kings Chicken Fries! I found this "copykat" on the net and after trying it, I'm very happy with it. Easy to make and you can throw it together fast with a crisp salad, and for the times that you have a little extra time, some corn on the cob will work nicely. You can use a little cayenne into the flour to spice it up. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Lemon Cucumber Tea Sandwiches With Minty Mayonnaise (Or Hummus)

I replaced standard cucumbers with lemon cucumbers from our garden! Adapted from ichef.com with a nod and hat doff to another site (grouprecipes.com) for the hummus idea. If you dislike mint, try another fresh herb: basil is always an excellent choice, lovage, salad burnet or good ol' parsley. For a more substantial meal, add greens-arugula, baby spinach, loose leaf lettuce; perhaps some finely minced shallots, heirloom toms, ad infinitum... -- posted by Cookgirl

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:16:20 -0400

This recipe came about at the last minute on Memorial Day. I needed something to take a to a barbeque, but didn't want to go to the store. My husband suggested shells, tuna and peas, all things we had on hand. I thought, ewww, sounds gross in the heat, but, I whipped it together. It was a huge hit.

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:35:39 -0400

Really good on any Thai food or whatever you need a dipping sauce for. Even chicken strips or ... whatevs. MMMM... o la la Your jalapeno mileage may vary, so adjust the heat accordingly. Keep in mind, however, that the heat is the strongest the day you make the sauce and starts to dissipate gradually the longer it is kept in the refrigerator. I usually start off with more pepper than I would like and let the sauce sit in the fridge for a couple of days before I use it. This sauce keeps for a long time, and after a couple of weeks, you can't even taste the pepper. -- posted by College Girl

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

Smoked Bacon and Corn Soup

This hearty recipe is perfect for the BRR months. Developed this during a time when I was in between grocery trips, so ingredients were what I had in the pantry. Turned out to be really good! -- posted by Chef Ivan M

Peach and Champagne Sorbet

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:12:11 -0400

From About.com Home Cooking. Peach sorbet gets a festive edge by the addition of champagne. You can cut the preparation time by using frozen peaches. If you do not have champagne, try substituting sparkling apple or white grape juice. This recipe is designed for an ice cream machine. -- posted by SashasMommy

Dreamsicle for Adults

This is a refreshing summer cocktail that is good to sip on a perfect summer evening. I use Cuentra y Tres (43 in Spanish) but any vanilla liqueur or schnapps will work as well. You could even put it in the blender for a frozen drink! -- posted by JustAFoodie

Gazpacho Shrimp Salad

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:03:22 -0500

This is great to serve anytime! Makes a great lunch and a fine dinner if you toss a little wine and a loaf of crusty bread in the deal! You can use whatever vinegar you like, and can add, after tasting, more. Nakano makes several seasoned vinegars that are scrumptious! Smoked paprika is one of the best seasonings I've ever used; you can't believe how fragrant it is nd the taste is amazing. However, having said that, it is very pricey. I cannot advise you excpept to tell you that without it, the recipe won't taste the same. -- posted by FLUFFSTER
