Popovers

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:38:50 -0500

Based on a recipe from one of my very first cookbooks: The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking. These are very nice popovers, and go well with prime rib of beef, in which case I substitute the beef fat renderings for the shortening. -- posted by mersaydees

Easy Hummus

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:14:54 -0500

Hummus is a popular dip usually eaten with pita bread at Middle Eastern restaurants. This version is is easy to make for anyone with a food processor. All of the ingredients are commonly available. It is every bit as good as hummus made with tahini. Consider this the convenience food version of hummus. You may be aghast at the use of bottled lemon juice and jarred garlic, but it really does work as well as fresh for this recipe. This hummus makes a good sandwich filling: Fill a pita pocket or a warmed flour tortilla with a few tablespoons of hummus. Add sliced tomato, lettuce, red onion, and perhaps a few pickled banana pepper rings. It's very satisfying. -- posted by RudyH

Dress It Up: Deviled Eggs

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:43:54 -0500

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

Hummus-Topped Pitas

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:48:36 -0500

I added way more than several dashes of hot pepper sauce, and it is the winning flavor to me. I didn't bother sauteeing the onion and garlic because I love it plain. If my cilantro hadn't gone bad I would have added it to the mixture. I did add salt and pepper. Recipe courtesy of Best Recipes of the Great Food Companies. -- posted by AmyZoe

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

Veggie Nachos

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:21:08 -0500

These nachos are full of protein and fiber and look beautiful to boot. Take it easy on the cheese and make it low-fat. This recipe heats the chips so make use of the chips remaining in the bottom of various bags. My sister and I made this live on my podcast. It's vegetarian and easy and I was surprised there wasn't one like this on 'zaar. This version is fairly quick for two and can be made as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or hot salsa.

An Unusual Borscht

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:05:11 -0500

An combination of beets, squash, and yogurt makes a sweet yet savory soup that is quite filling.

In a pinch I have substituted buttermilk for the yogurt and it worked well. -- posted by Ames0325

Garlic Butter

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:14:51 -0500

This is as simple as it gets. We keep a pot of this in the fridge and also take it camping so we can have easy garlic flavour for all our dishes. Use it in pasta, soups or for super-easy garlic bread. The salt in the butter keeps the garlic from going bad and we have successfully carried this bike touring in hotter climates (up to 25C during the day) for a week. The butter melts during the day in these conditions but reforms at night when it's cooler. -- posted by Sackville

Delia Smith's Gratin of Celery With Stilton

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:09:43 -0500

I saw this recipe in Marks and Spencer's 2009 Christmas leaflet. It looked really interesting and I wanted to put it somewhere for future use. Stilton is a strong cheese like a blue cheese. So, if you can't find Stilton you can probably use blue cheese. She says that it could be either a side dish or a main vegetarian dish over brown rice. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne
