Bacon Scallion Mashed Potatoes like Applebee's

Fri, 21 Nov 2003 20:01:02 -0500

We've been messing with this recipe to get it right and I think we have it. The taste with the bacon and scallions makes these potatoes rich in flavor and probably higher in calories than most of us want to look at...but then don't you have to enjoy food! -- posted by Tish

Rum-Raisin Sticky Buns

Thu, 08 Jan 2004 20:00:38 -0500

If you're a rum-raisin freak you'll love these sticky buns. This is easy since you use frozen, thawed bread dough, which still tastes very much homemade. The square springform pan isn't absolutely necessary (you can use a regular square pan) but the rimmed lip catches drips from the glaze. I've included the 1-hour rum soaking time in the prep time. I found this in Sunset magazine. -- posted by Hey Jude

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 19:59:40 -0500

Stock your pantry ahead of time to whip up this delicious satisfying soup. It comes together quickly for a nice meal. I got the recipe from Southern Living Magazine (Carol Michael Hewett, Texas). I made a few changes by adding celery, and adding 3 more cups of broth (because we don't like soup that thick). The original recipe called for 5 cups of water. I used part water and part chicken broth. -- posted by luvmybge

German Cabbage Casserole - Kohl Und Hackfleisch

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 16:24:31 -0400

Cabbage and meat mildly seasoned with garlic and onions in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs for a pretty presentation! A real comfort food. Even those who say they HATE cabbage will eat this and like it! I have even made this without the meat- using bulgur and veggie broth. Here is how: Just replace the meat with the same amount of bulgur- (for 1 lb of meat sub 1 cup bulgur) you will want to soak the bulgur according to the instructions on the package- if you bought it in bulk here is how... Bring 2 cups of veggie broth ( can use bouillon and water) per 1 cup bulgur When broth is boiling stir in bulgur. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is soft. All the broth should be absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork as you would rice and add to your recipe. I have used beef, pork, turkey and chicken with great results too. *See NOTE for freezing, make ahead and left over tips* -- posted by mama's kitchen

Feuerzangenbowle (Burnt Punch, Traditional German Beverage)

Feuerzangenbowle has a long tradtion in our family. We used this recipe now for years and we don't change it. Feuerzangenbowle will be made every year at least once. Invite good friends, sit around the table with the Feuerzangenbowle on it, talk, laugh and enjoy the company of good friends. Very communicative and festive. When you set the "Feuerzangenbowle" on fire dim the light and enjoy the magic of this very special attraction. -- posted by Thorsten

This is a great soup for New Year's eve or day (or, anytime really in the colder months). When it is cooking, mmmmmmmmmm -- what a fabulous fragrance fills your home! My husband & I adapted a recipe we found on Epicurious - and really, it is totally different but just as good as their version (which had ham & collard greens), if not better! -- posted by stephanierndos

No-Flour Cornbread

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 07:58:52 -0400

This recipe was the one my mother used, and her mother before her. Beyond that I can't go! It spoiled me for anything calling itself "cornbread" that has flour or sweeteners in it -- I call those "corn cake." This is great with chili, stew, and other hearty dishes. My dad used to crumble it up into buttermilk and eat it with a spoon. It's a requirement for our family's New Years Day dinner, along with the roast pork and black-eyed peas. It's also the main ingredient in Thanksgiving/Christmas/anytime turkey stuffing. -- posted by AzArlie

Winter Wassail

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:49:07 -0500

Wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon toast "waes hael" or be whole". The first carols were Yuletide drinking songs and singers caroled their neighbourhoods carrying their wassail bowls with them. That was just to get you into the spirit, now down to business. I have no idea how many servings you'll get. When I make this I don't use any alcohol and I serve small amounts to younger children (diluted with apple juice) while the men bring big coffee mugs (with their own spirit base). -- posted by Annacia

Pat's Spicy-Hot Winter Chili No. 6

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 16:38:21 -0500

Description: neither thick nor thin, big flavor, traditional chili flavor, 4-alarm on a 1-5 alarm scale. If you like 10 or 12 drops of Tabasco on a big plate of spaghetti, this chili is fine for you, but it's not so hot that your eyeballs are going to pop out. This chili began as a clean-out-the-refrigerator recipe but I did apply my considerable chili knowledge to the dish by manipulating the flavor with certain key herbs and spices. I didn't just dump in everything in other words. I'm compelled to say that I was very happy with the end result. For one thing, it doesn't taste like all my other chilis. No, this one is much more traditional in flavor with plenty of good heat. But when you STOP eating it, your mouth does not remain really hot. Just right, if you like a good spicy chili. I think the salsa verde is the key ingredient. This chili would be especially good for a Superbowl party or for brunch on a day of deep snow and goofing off. There is very little labor involved in this one. It will be too hot for the kids though. One final caution: do not add salt to this recipe. There is plenty of salt in the bouillon and other ingredients. Enjoy this very special chili my friends! -- posted by Bone Man

Double the Luck Ribs With Sauerkraut & Cabbage

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 15:23:34 -0500

Sauerkraut could well be the next chicken soup, according to ABC News. Cabbage is packed with vitamins that boost the immune system and fermented cabbage contains lactic acid that aids digestion and can weaken infections. A recent U of NM study also concludes that eating cabbage and sauerkraut often may help ward off breast cancer. Where I grew up, sauerkraut was the dish of choice served on New Years Day, so heres a recipe containing both sauerkraut and cabbage to bring you good health & good luck in 07! If you have kraut haters in your family, try adding the grated apple and onion, and you may find them begging for more. I serve this with buttery mashed potatoes or spaetzle. -- posted by San Marcos Sunshine

Umani (Japanese Stew of Root Vegetables Seaweed and Chicken)

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:49:57 -0500

Rich Japanese stew similar to nishime. Made primarily with root vegetables and a small amount of meat with a soy sauce and sugar base. Also common to both dishes is the use of konnyaku (a tasteless and calorie-less jelly-like cake made from a tuber root called devil's tongue) and kombu (strips of seaweed). Traditionally, the stew is simmered until cooked, then cooled and reheated, a process that may be repeated several times. This infuses the soy-sugar flavors deeply into the ingredients and leaves very little soupiness. You can approximate this procedure simply by making your nishime/umani a day ahead and refrigerating it overnight, then reheating. The dish may be adapted to include more of the veggies you like, less of what you don't like. Many people also like adding tiny Japanese taro (araimo). Konnyaku (aka konjac/yam cake) is found in the refrigerated section near the tofu. Use either the white, refined type or the brown, unrefined version. Shirataki noodles would be near the tofu as well (I found them at a health food store; apparently they're great for low-carbers) You can make a quick and easy dashi by putting 1 strip of kelp and 1/2 cup bonito flakes (I found them right next to each other in the Asian section of the same store) in 4 cups water or veggie stock and bring it to a boil; as soon as it boils, remove from heat and strain the dashi into a bowl. Burdock root should be found with the fresh produce or use reconstituted dried burdock root. -- posted by littleturtle

Golden Eggnog Cake

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:58:06 -0500

A small slice of this rich, moist cake studded with cherries and nuts is perfect for a winter afternoon, with a cup of coffee or tea: just the pick-me-up you'll need for a full evening of decorating or present-wrapping. It can be made ahead, wrapped well, frozen, then taken out of the freezer when you need it. It's substantial enough to serve as the centerpiece of a holiday dessert table if you have one of the fancy shaped bundt pans. By the way, if you have a nutmeg grater be sure to use fresh nutmeg; the flavor and aroma are vastly superior to the pre-ground. *Eggnog's out of season? Use 1 1/4 cups light cream or half and half + 1 1/4 teaspoons eggnog flavor. -- posted by Annacia

New Year's Day Sausage Pot

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:39:55 -0500

This recipe has been our big meal of the new year - for several years. This was adapted from an Emeril recipe we found. It makes quite a bit and the leftovers are fabulous! However, our neighbors are on to our tradition and the leftovers are no more - enjoy! (When I am in charge of the preparation, I have made this without the cracklins & green onions and it is still delicious!) -- posted by Noreen Nouza

Holiday Wassail With Alcohol

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:43:35 -0400

This is the most amazing tasting Wassail. It's perfect for a holiday party or a cold winter night. Its like drinking hot apple pie that warms your tummy and lifts your spirits. Although its a big undertaking to cook, you wont be disappointed, especially when everyone is complimenting you on making something that tastes so delicious. Make sure you serve it warm. Because this takes a while to put together, I usually make it the night before and pour the mixture into bottles/containers so I can transport it easily. I guessed at the number of servings but its always been enough for the parties I've been to where there have been 25 or more people. -- posted by LexiGirl 2
