Quency's Pasta Salad

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:59:14 -0500

This recipe came from a girl I knew named Quency. She said it was a family recipe. I always make this for bbq's and pot lucks. It is a big hit! This makes a very large quantity of salad.

Spicy Chicken Sticks With 3 Dipping Sauces

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:26:32 -0500

Finger Fun Food. Who doesn't like it. I technically call this an appetizer, but honestly, I have serve this for dinner too. I have a group of friends (my pool buddies ... we play pool on Friday nights) they love these. Three (3) different dips, all unique served with my spicy chicken sticks (just chicken on a stick, but it is fun and never any left. You can always cut down on the sauces but honestly, there usually isn't any left. And what is left - I can easily use in the next few dinners. The herb vinaigrette is great over fresh fish, shrimp, scallops, or chicken. The sundried tomato is awesome on a baguette with grilled chicken for an amazing sandwich; and the artichoke, over pasta for an easy side dish or even or some grilled salmon or grilled chicken breasts. Many possibilities, trust me ... if any sauce is left, you will not have a hard time using it up. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Brown Rice Tangi Salad

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:36:11 -0500

This is an easy to make family favourite given to me by my mother years ago. A delicious, high fibre way to include more brown rice in your diet. It improves on standing so if I'm wanting to take it to a BBQ or pot luck dinner, I'll make it the day before then chill it over night. The brown rice gives it a lovely nutty, chewy texture in a sweet sour dressing. Everyone will be coming back for more and want the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by jodz

Barbecued Shrimp BLT Sandwich With Lemon Butter Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:39:37 -0500

This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe and it is delicious! I found it again when I was surfing the net - as always, looking for something else, and voila I found it! I had eaten this a long time ago when a friend prepared it for us, my friend left for somewhere in Cuba -- never to be heard of again, more than likely she is very busy trying to build a house for her folks wheeling and dealing, so as to get what she needs -- she doesn't have time to write and then find someone that she trusts to deliver the letter to me! Anyway -- the recipe is truly wonderful! :) Wine pairing: If you're feeling adventurous try a full and oakey Chardonnay from Australia like Rosemount, Petaluma or Lindemans. This dish goes great with a number of the micro brews, such as Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or the most popular Samuel Adams. -- posted by Manami

There are a few other PB&P sanwiches on Recipezaar, so I know I'm not crazy. These are only slightly different because after trying other pickles I think the bread and butter pickle chips are best for this. I use a brand called Bubbies which I highly recommend. -- posted by Ilysse

Fire-Roasted Pepper Salsa

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:39:30 -0500

If you like hot food, this may be for you! I found this recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/fire-roasted-pepper-salsa.html In 25 Techniques for Grilling (Harvard Common Press, 2009), author Ardie A. Davis makes a compelling case for this fire-roasted pepper salsa: it makes a great appetizer over cream cheese, a delicious side dish, or a complement to grilled foods. The trick to getting the peppers really fire roasted is to have the grill grate as close to the heat source as possible. On a charcoal grill, this means putting something like bricks, hardwood, or more charcoal in the bottom of your grill, so when you dump the coals in, they will sit higher, nearer the grill grate. -- posted by SassiFras

Chicken and Veggetable Pasta

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:57:50 -0500

Simple and quick pasta that you can make with almost anything you have in the house (only a few of the ingredients are things you may not have). Doesn't use pasta sauce, olive oil and spices instead, and tons of veggies or just a few. (can be made for anyone who loves or hates veggies!) Many other vegetables are good options but I use these commonly (I would try artichoke hearts and other things if my boyfriend would eat them) -- posted by RealHalfTimeShow

Looking for a easy mexican dinner. look no further! My husband and I love this stuff since I work till after 10pm most nights. Smack it in the crockpot at night and my lunch is waiting for me when I wake up the next morning. I leave the seasoning open because everyone has a different taste for heat I don't do a lot of chili powder with the ancho chili's but I love cumin and the other seasoning. Another good suggestion is mixing green onions into the gorn muffin mix, I top with shedded smoked cheddar cheese and a little sour cream. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by Mrs Spencer

I'm currently on a budget casserole roll here. Feel free to sub the cream of potato soup for any other cream soup (my other favorites are mushroom and celery), they're pretty packed with flavor. It's just that not as many use cream of potato like I do! I like Stovetop traditional sage stuffing mix and the turkey one, any kind of boxed stuffing will do. You can used canned french-fried onions like French's or Durkee but I prefer homemade, Recipe #44115 those are sooooo good. -- posted by the80srule

Dutch Oven Camping Breakfast Love

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:17:50 -0500

Not the most descriptive recipe title, perhaps, but this is what my friend calls it and I like the name, so there you go. Nothing wakes up your camp-mates like the warmth of a campfire and the sounds and smells of sausage, bacon, and veggies. You will NEED a REAL camping dutch oven (get the cast-iron kind with the little legs and the lip on top for putting coals on the lid - if you camp much, this is well worth the investment). You will also need two hot-pads, tongs, and a heat-resistant spatula. A long-sleeve shirt and leather gloves are recommended so that you don't singe your arms and hands. Note that preparation time consists mostly of letting the fire mature. -- posted by Da Huz

This recipe makes enough for a family reunion (I halved the recipe and still had 4 dozen cookies). I've posted the recipe as originally written. I really like the seasonings--cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. It makes a nice twist on a classic treat. Next time I'll skip the shortening and use real butter (just a personal preference).

Grandma Linda's Thanksgiving Dressing

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:22:41 -0500

My mother has made this dressing for our family since I was a little girl. It is the only Thanksgiving dressing my family will eat. I would weigh 500 pounds if I made this dressing as often as I craved it! Although I know most people prefer holiday recipes that have been passed down in their own families, I hope you will enjoy this Thanksgiving dressing recipe that the McWell's have enjoyed for many, many years! My mother used Jiffy corn bread mix in the old days, then later switched to Marie Calender's corn bread mix. In this recipe, I am using the "sweet corn muffins" recipe on a box of Albers Yellow Corn Meal. Because I am using Albers brand corn meal, all ingredients up to "12 Tbs butter" are for this particular brand cornmeal. If using any other cornbread mix, follow directions on the box, then add ingredients beginning with "1 Lb bacon." This recipe is for Thanksgiving so it makes quite a large amount. Thanks Mom! -- posted by Mrs Cook

Dress It Up: Deviled Eggs

It's not even Easter, but I boiled a bunch of eggs so I had an excuse to prepare another one of my favorite naughty foods--deviled eggs. This is a simple recipe, but very good. I have to confess, I never bother with a piping bag because deviled eggs never last long enough for me to look at. I don't have the patience to make them pretty--I just want to eat them. It's kind of like, why bother making the bed when I'm just going to get back in it? Recipe courtesy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Comfort Food. -- posted by AmyZoe

Chicken Drumsticks With Asian Barbecue Sauce

This is a Grace Parisi recipe from F&W Magazine, October 2009 edition. Instead of using a traditional American barbecua sauce, Grace Parisi prepares a sweet, sticky, slightly fiery version using Asian ingredients, like chile sauce, hoisins sauce, rice vinegar and ginger.

Best Vegan Mac and Cheese in the Entire World

Originally posted on VegWeb.com by beep_i_am_a_robot. I haven't made this myself yet, but I want to get the nutritional breakdown. I plan to tweek by reducing the salt content (using Bragg's amino rather than soy and leaving out the salt), reducing the fat and increasing the tofu (several reviewers on VegWeb have done this and liked it). This is the original recipe, including typing and grammatical mistakes. Serving size is estimated. -- posted by I hate coming up with handles :)
