Curried Pecans

Sat, 21 Jul 2007 12:36:41 -0400

An excellent snack for most any occasion--holidays, camping, sporting event get togethers, lunchboxes, etc. We can't stop eating them! These make a great gift, just cut a piece of cellophane and wrap into a cone shape tied with a colorful ribbon, or place in a pretty tin. They will be appreciated. -- posted by Brenda.

Old Time Ham Salad (For Sandwiches)

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 22:43:41 -0400

Yes, this is the REAL DEAL, folks -- this is the super great-tasting ham salad spread that you used to be able to buy at the mom and pop stores back in the '50s and '60s. It makes a lot but it will go fast. I could eat these ham salad sandwiches on sesame-seed buns with a little lettuce every day of the week. Don't use cheap bologna in this recipe or you'll be disappointed -- I like to use Kahn's Club Bologna. Also, you'll need some sort of meat grinder to make this -- a food processor does NOT yield a good consistency. I use my Kitchen-Aide Grinder attachment. Enjoy! -- posted by Bone Man

Cincinnati Super-Bowl Dip

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 21:38:14 -0400

Cincinnati Chili is available in stores or online. The top brands are Skyline, Gold Star and Dixie. Dixie is the superior choice as far as I'm concerned, ("Cincinnati chili for the Southern palate," is their slogan). Use the type with no beans unless you like dip with beans in it. There are also a couple of clone brands (store brands) of Cincinnati chili now available. Also, if you want to make your own, here's a recipe that you'll love: Recipe #133250. I invented this dip recipe and it's really caught on in my neighborhood. Serve it with torn-off chunks of baguette bread or, with nacho or tortilla chips. You can even use this stuff as a unique hot dog topping for something different! Enjoy! -- posted by Bone Man

Grilled Asparagus

Sat, 06 Oct 2007 18:44:37 -0400

I like to start off with this as an appetizer. It prepares and cooks quickly. I usually put all my vegetables on the edge of the grill that'll take a while to cook, and cook these in the middle before I put the meat on. It's a great finger food, and even people who don't like asparagus will love this. -- posted by The Paco

Chicken Pita Pockets

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 02:04:47 -0500

This recipe was adapted from a recipe provided by - National Chicken Council / US Poultry & Egg Assn. I poached the chicken so as to avoid sautéing. It is really delicious and has been enjoyed by the "targeted" residents that might possibly like it and they did - they really loved it with vegetables and all! I did shred the chicken to make it easier for them to eat. -- posted by Manami

Pimento Cheese Toasts

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:10:01 -0500

This pimento cheese is a little different in that it is made with roasted peppers and spread on tiny toasts, then broiled to transform it into hot melted heaven. A combination of sharp orange and white cheddar works well. You can make the cheese spread up to 3 days ahead and have it covered and chilled in the fridge until ready to use. From Gourmet January 2008. -- posted by cookiedog

Simple Taco Dip

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:19:51 -0500

A really simple and fast taco dip, great for parties or mexican night dinner. It is recommended to use lean or x-lean ground beef (or even ground chicken), that way you wont have that much liquid to drain. Also You could put the dip in the oven so that the cheese melts, but you do not have to. -- posted by RECH

Cheddar Cheese and Chutney Toasted Doorstep Sandwich!

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:42:10 -0400

A real old fashioned British style "Doorstep" sandwich, jazzed up a wee bit by adding chutney with mayonnaise and then toasting it........just delicious! The only criteria for these toasted "sarnies" is that you use THICK slices of good quality white Farmhouse style bread; such as home-made or Artisanal crusty bread! And, a good quality Cheddar cheese - preferably mature with good mayonnaise and tangy chutney! Although I have given the method for grilling (broiling) these sarnies, they'll be fine if they're made in an electric sandwich or grilling machine, such as a George Foreman. There is no need to add the chutney separately then, just add it to the cheese and mayonnaise mixture. This is a recipe for one greedy person - please increase the quantities for more greedy people if necessary!! -- posted by French Tart

Love It or Hate It - Marmite and Cheese Straws With a Twist!

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:35:17 -0400

Another one of my daughter's recipes - she always makes these for us when she is home. Cheesy, crispy and flaky pastry straws with a lick of marmite - great for pre-dinner drinks, picnics, lunch boxes or snacks. The Marmite company has a very clever advert that announces that you either LOVE Marmite or HATE it! I love it, that's why it has been added to these delicious Cheese Straws........however, if you HATE it - I have suggested alternatives. My daughter only ever uses Marmite in her cheese straws - but then she is also a Marmite lover! Serve these in a tall glass for tasty appetiser nibbles - if you are using the other flavours, you can lable the glasses so Marmite haters can be pre-warned! Have fun! (For all my Aussie friends - PLEASE use Vegemite if you REALLY have to!!!) -- posted by French Tart

Porchetta - Italian Marketplace Slow Roast Pulled Pork Sandwich

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:32:11 -0400

This is JUST gorgeous! A domestic take on the classic Italian marketplace or street food, Porchetta, which is actually roast suckling pig. Porchetta is thickly sliced and served in ciabatta bread as a delectable hot sandwich throughout Italy. My recipe is a much-adapted recipe taken from one of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks, and it is SO easy to make at home. I cook mine in the crock-pot for meltingly soft and tender pulled pork - however, I have also given traditional roasting directions in this recipe. Preparation time includes the 24 hour period required for the pork to marinade in its herbed and spiced rub. -- posted by French Tart

Devilishly Delicious Bacon and Cherry Roll-Ups

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:17:16 -0400

I have very fond memories of this recipe from my early childhood. Anytime my mother had friends over for drinks, or threw a party she would make these. I would always be dispatched to a quiet corner with a plate full of goodies, including loads of these! Now I make them for parties, or drink snacks, and everybody loves them. I make trays of these, and the amount listed below is quite small, so be prepared to make more! They are so simple but oh so effective! I tend to use streaky bacon for the fat content, but back bacon works fine too. Try them-you won't regret it! -- posted by Noo

Sweet and Sticky Mango Basted Chipolata Sausages

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:56:55 -0400

You will not believe how simple this is to make or how much people love it! I have used this many, many times on buffets, drinks gatherings, or just as nibbles when the footie boys invade my house-and there are NEVER any leftovers!! The quantities are not exact-so adjust the amount of chutney as you see fit. The cooking time can also vary-sometimes I cook these long and slow, other times I whack the heat up a bit to speed it along-depends how long you can wait for them! -- posted by Noo

Lemon-Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:16:20 -0400

Build Your Own Canadian Cranberry and Herb Turkey Burgers!

Mon, 19 May 2008 01:37:13 -0400

Build your own burger - the recipe here is for a low-fat cranberry and herb turkey burger, with LOTS of options! Plump semi-dried Canadian cranberries and fresh chopped herbs are added to lean, low-fat turkey mince for a moist and flavourful burger, and without the guilt! I have offered the bacon, cheese, assorted condiments and the burger bun as an option; if you are REALLY watching your calories and fat intake, just go with the plain burger and a lovely crispy mixed salad on the side. Turkey mince can be a little bland, so the addition of the herbs and cranberries adds a real flavour injection. Try to use freshly chopped herbs for the best flavour, if you do use dried herbs, reduce the quantities by half, as dried herbs are more pungent than fresh. If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, use Craisins, the sweetened dried cranberries that are available in North America and Canada; this recipe has been posted as a thank you to a Canadian friend on Recipezaar, who kindly sent me some Craisins, along with lots of other Canadian goodies! Merci beaucoup! -- posted by French Tart

Mum's " Mock Chicken" Dip

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:05:52 -0400

Isn't it great when you eat something and it takes you back to being a child again! Well thats exactly what this dip does for me. My mum used to make this every time she threw a party or had people for drinks and nibbles. I would always have my own bowl and my own box of crackers and I would go off to some quiet spot and stuff my little face! I still love it now, so much so that I spoon it out of the pan while I'm cooking it (although I am trying to exercise more self control). This is such a quick and easy dip to make with stuff that you would normally have in the house, so a great standby for when people turn up unexpectedly. As for tasting like chicken? Well, Ill let you decide...but I was never convinced. Either way it tastes great! -- posted by Noo

Hot Diggedy Dogs! Bonfire Bangers in Wraps (Hot Dogs/Sausages)

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:26:33 -0400

A deliciously different way of serving up Hot Dogs for Bonfire Night or Halloween! Choose your favourite bangers or dogs, mine are high meat content Lincolnshire sausages with herbs, then oven bake them for ease with sticky roasted mustard coated onions - all in one pan! Serve with lashings of tomato relish or tomato ketchup for a great comfort dish on the run! The great thing about this recipe is that it can also be kept warm in the oven, whilst the spooky activities are in action, or dad is still trying to light the DAMP fireworks in the garden!! If you are serving this to little ones who may not like the mustard, just leave it out and add a little tomato puree instead for a tomatoey onion taste.

A great treat you can pack it with vegies and anything goes. Just adapt to suit what you have in the house. They freeze well and you can use any combo of vegies and herbs you like even a handful of grated cheese. Add some seeded mustard or worcestershire sauce or any other flavourings to your/the kids taste. If your kids are extra fussy puree onion , garlic and herbs in with vegies. Otherwise you may wish to soften onion slightly before using in recipe so the taste is not as strong. -- posted by LBella

Zucchini, Potato and Herb Fritters

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:45:37 -0500

Adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's TAPAS antipasto mezze'. Be vigilant about squeezing all the liquid from the vegetables and, after thoroughly squeezing out the liquid, pat the vegetables (except the garlic which is likely to stick to the paper!) with paper kitchen towelling. This is a recipe where it's a good idea to have all your ingredients ready before grating the vegetables and grating the potatoes last so they have less time to turn brown! The weights indicated are approximate so the following approximate weight equivalents should give you an idea of the general amount required: 410g = 13oz; 375g = 120z; 75g = 21/2 oz. The number of fritters you get will depend on what size you make them; the number that the fritters will serve will, of course, depend on how many appetisers or other dishes you are serving as part of an antipasto mezze platter. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Bacon and Horseradish Deviled Eggs

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:23:51 -0500

Come on,you know that sounds good! I developed these after attempting to overcome an addiction to bacon and horseradish dip I developed on my recent trip to the States. You can even make these vegetarian by using the Bacos bacon bits that are made out of soy instead of the actual bacon. The recipe can be scaled up pretty easily for bigger crowds. Also, this is one of those times when I am not totally clear on how to translate an ingredient from UK to US. I used what is called 'horseradish sauce' here in the UK. Which, I remember being somewhere in between prepared horseradish and horseradish cream in the States. So, I put one but you can probably use either. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Note: You may use cornflakes or Cheerios or a mixture of these instead of rice krispies but they are in the original recipe. Chilling time is not included in preparation time. -- posted by Iceland

This is my popper recipe. These aren't good for you and everyone will love you after having one. I posted this to commemorate the Steelers' most recent Super Bowl XLIII victory! If you have leftover filling, try using it in scrambled eggs the next day. I hope you like it! -- posted by Johnna S.

Easy Sausage Cups (Like Sausage Stars)

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:31:16 -0500

This is a variation of Sausage Stars/Sausage Cup recipes that use wanton wrappers and ranch dressing. My version uses Tostitos Scoops (bowl shaped corn chips) and cream cheese for some of the ranch dressing. I made these for Christmas Eve and Super Bowl Sunday, and they were a huge hit on both occasions! You can make the filling in advance and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble and bake. If I am taking these to a party, I fill the shells before I leave home and bake when I arrive at the party. They are also great with regular ranch dressing, but we prefer parmesan peppercorn flavor. -- posted by CindyMarie

A Pint of Prawns and Guinness Chaser - British Pub Grub!

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:37:21 -0400

Classic and traditional British Pub Grub! Cooked prawns (shrimps) served in a pint mug with a tangy garlic mayonnaise and a pint of Guinness of course - my idea of heaven! British pub grub is justly famous and this simple dish is also great when served at home. Serve these prawns for family gatherings, or St Patrick's Day, St George's Day, St David's Day, St Andrew's Day, Australia Day, football, superbowl, darts matches or ANY time you fancy simple, robust food with a pint of ale! I have suggested Guinness but you can serve these prawns with any real ale or your favourite brew. I have spiced the mayonnaise up a tad - if you are not a lover of spicy food, serve these prawns with classic mayonnaise. -- posted by French Tart

Healthier Meatball Subs

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:11:54 -0400

Meatball subs are so yummy. NOT on my diet though! So I decided to see if I could make them somewhat healthier. Viola! Though these are still NOT diet food, they are healthy, well HEALTHIER. These would be great football night food, after a night of trick or treating or any night you need something fast and easy. You could even make these vegetarian friendly using vegetarian meatballs and cheese. Enjoy! -- posted by mama's kitchen

Jalapeno Dinosaur Eggs

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:06:53 -0400

This my adaption of Scotch Eggs, a classic appetizer. I dearly love the eggs but I can cut the cholesterol by at least half by substituting stuffed hot peppers instead. Try this one and I know you'll be pleased if you are a lover of chili peppers. Of course, if you are a true chili head, you can use habaneros, or other really hot peppers, which is what I do. -- posted by Max Thames

Tiny Toads in the Hole

Pepperoni Cheese Bread / Calzone

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:02:08 -0400

This recipe uses a scone/damper dough for the bread, so no major kneading or waiting around for dough to rise. What you use to fill it is limited only by your imagination - pepperoni, ham, chicken, whatever takes your fancy! Note: you can make self-raising flour by mixing 2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. -- posted by Dottygumdrop

From Company's Coming - made them for a potluck and everyone loved them, and I didn't tell a soul how easy they were. :) I didn't really measure the spices - just guess-timated! You can use margarine instead of butter and dried thyme if you don't have fresh! -- posted by Cadillacgirl

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:23:45 -0400

Jalapeno with a juicy lil smokes, spiced cream cheese, wrapped in crispy bacon smothered in a sweet tangy bbq sauce. The flavor of the smokey jalapeno matches perfectly with the sweet fruity sauce, and of course its heat is in good company with the medley of peppers tasted in each bite. A spoonful of sauce on each popper and you can guarantee these tasty treats will disappear in no time flat! (from BBQ Addicts) -- posted by College Girl
