Savory Muffins With Goat Cheese, Rosemary and Kalamata Olives

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:56:57 -0500

Savory muffins to serve with soups, a big salad or on their own for healthy snacking. This recipe was in Pam Anderson's CookSmart column in the USA Weekend paper, Feb 20, 2009. If you want something delectable and nourishing and don't mind messing up four or more different bowls, this recipe is a lucious hit every time. I replace the sugar with agave or leave it out sometimes. These freeze fine, if well-packaged, to add quick pizzazz to a dinner for many or just take one out to reheat solo. I believe this is from her newest (fifth) cookbook called "The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great". Thank you, Pam! -- posted by VeggieVal

Sunday's Best Rice Pudding (Traditional Style)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:16:07 -0500

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious whether served warm or cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal. -- posted by Rachael Potter

A simple and easy to make hearty soup recipe I tossed together one rainy day with just a few things I happened to have on hand. It rivals many soups made from scratch in both flavor and satisfaction...yet, even a young child can combine these ingredients and follow the simple directions and perhaps amaze their Mom or Dad at mealtime.

These nachos are full of protein and fiber and look beautiful to boot. Take it easy on the cheese and make it low-fat.

i made this from leftover roast chicken and leftover leek and potatoe soup (vegan), so my measurements are an estimate really, but use your initiative if it needs more water add more etc etc. intermediate cooks will get the idea, also you can add a dash of wine or lemon juice would be nice in this.

Delicious! Even my daughters loved it! (3 yrs & 7 mos) I just took the chicken out for my baby girl, mashed it up, and she couldn't have enough!

Butternut Squash With Roasted Apples, Pears and Onion Soup

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:14:14 -0500

A fun fall soup. Roasting of the vegetables and fruits to me just really makes this the best. A drizzle of maple syrup, chopped candied walnuts, cranberries, and a dollop of creme fraiche finishes this over the top. What a wonderful Holiday soup, but also just a good comfort soup. I make this often with grilled cheese. Smoked gouda, multi grain bread and maple smoked bacon make for an amazing sandwich. I often make a bunch of these walnuts for the garnish and store them in the freezer in a baggie to use throughout the Holiday season. They are really easy and don't take any time. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Sarasota's White Cheddar Cheese Soup

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:27:52 -0500

A flavorful soup with simple ingredients. This can be lunch, an easy dinner, or serve this with grilled brats/onions and a side of broccoli apple slaw (my favorite). Just add store bought broccoli slaw in a bag, add some apples, pears and your own dressing and you have a nice dinner. There are also many great recipes on here for slaw of every kind. I think originally this was adapted from Cuisine at Home or Cooking Light, but I have added my touches which I enjoy. Now when I make this, it is usually for friends, so there may be 8 or more of us, so I always make a big pot. You can easily scale this down and just make half, but it is so good that I go ahead and make this and enjoy it throughout the week for a nice snack, lunch or a quick dinner. Why not have a big pot of soup in the refrigerator you can just heat up for a quick bite when. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Wild Boar Chili

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:50:11 -0500

I made this recipe when I was trying to think of what to do with the bony shoulder cut of the young wild boar we had. After some searching on the internet, I decided to make a chili from it. It works better than just normal pork as it is leaner and the flavour is different than domestic pork. I think that this recipe would work with an older boar as well. For the chili powder, I very highly recommend using this recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/Chili-Powder-16892 I usually make a big batch of it and store in a large empty spice container so I have it on hand. It is quick to make, and it gives you a better flavour than the commercial ones and you can control the salt levels easier. If you have some excess fat, you can cut down on the oil by frying the fat pieces and frying the onions and garlic in that. Just be sure to remove the fat pieces before adding the meat. We serve this over white rice, but you could have it by itself or whatever you usually have chili with. -- posted by Tea Girl

Low Carb Jalapeno Poppers

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:43:54 -0500

I was craving poppers but didn't want super greasy bacon or high carb breading so I invented these... Sometimes instead of the garlic powder and seasoning salt, I use 2 tsp of a product called Johnny's Garlic Spread Seasoning which is just awesome - I buy it at Costco here in Canada. The number of jalapenos varies depending on the size you get and how much spread you put inside each half! Tried it with fat-free cream cheese and it just didn't have a good texture. Have also used shredded taco cheese blend right out of the freezer instead of plain cheddar! -- posted by Cadillacgirl

Awesome Clam Chowder

This came about after a long search through many recipes. Is good eating the first day, but refrigerating overnight is what makes it awesome. When I served to for the group at my sons work, they ate it up. A couple of the guys said they didnt like clam chowder, but this was good. -- posted by Sandy in Dayton

Vanderbilt Scalloped Corn OAMC

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:25:07 -0500

I have made this recipe twice now. The first time I wasn't sure I was going to make it public, because it was such a flop. Raw, liquidy, thoroughly unappetizing looking. The second time, though, it was beautiful and tasty, so here it is. I figured out the problem. Do not put this in the wrong size dish. I made a triple batch, and cooked half that night in an 11x7" casserole and froze the other half. The second half I baked in a 9x13" dish. If you need to cook more than 6-8 servings, make it in two 9x13"s. And add extra cracker crumbs to the top - you won't be sorry! :) Holiday recipe from Once a Month Mom and her cousin, Vanderbilt Wife. -- posted by CraftScout
