All,

For legal reasons we need to get express permission from each member who wishes to submit a recipe to the AMG Fundraiser Cookbook. This permission would be to use the recipe and screen-name of the submitting individual.

Going forward, let us use this thread for further recipe submissions, and by the mere act of submitting in this thread you acknowledge and agree that you understand that your recipe will be printed in the fundraising cookbook. Please also submit only original recipes or recipes that you have adapted for your own use. Please no copying and pasting from a previously published source.

For those who have already submitted recipes in any other thread, please copy and paste those recipes into this thread. We realize this is extra work, but afterall it is for a wonderful cause!

Keep in mind that in submitting a recipe and hopefully purchasing a cookbook you will be helping to send a fellow forum member to the next Aids Meds Gathering, a member who without your help would not be able to attend such an amazing event!

If you are unfamiliar with AMG or what it's about please visit the "AM Gatherings" section of the Forums. There will be more information very shortly regarding this cookbook, donating to the Grant's Committee, and information on requesting assistance to attend the gathering. Stay tuned.

   BBQ Salad

  Romaine lettuce
  1 can corn (drained & rinsed)
  1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)
  2 chicken breasts
  Tortilla strips
   Ranch dressing
   BBQ sauce

   I use Fresh Gourmet brand tortilla strips.  I started with using the multi colored ones because that's how the restaurant did it, but found the Santa Fe variety to be much better on this creation.  I use Kraft's Honey Smoke BBQ sauce, it has a really good taste for this salad.

  I marinade the diced chicken breast in Italian Salad dressing before hand with some added garlic salt and black pepper.

  You want to mix the Ranch dressing with the bbq sauce, I use about a 4:1 ratio.

   Toss the chicken breast in a dry hot frying pan (marinade on chicken will provide enough oil).  You want to scorch it, basically cooking the wetness of the marinade off.  After your done with the chicken toss the corn in the pan for a few minutes until roasted nicely, take out and put to the side to cool.  Now do the same with the blackbeans.

  Now it's assembly time...  Place a layer of romaine in a dish,  Top with chicken, black beans, corn, and tortilla strips.  Drizzle very lightly with a little of the plain bbq sauce over this layer.  Now top that with  same as before, but this time don't drizzle the bbq sauce over it.  Top with the ranch dressing/bbq sauce mixture and enjoy.

Salmon and dill sauce

  1-8 oz sour cream
 1/2 bunch of dill
   Juice from one lemon
  1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  2 tablespoons horseradish

   Mix all ingredients together.  Char your lightly salted/peppered salmon on both sides in some olive oil being sure not to over cook.  Plate it and spoon a little of the sauce over the top and serve with a bed of wild greens.  Really good stuff!

Amish Friendship Bread
Beginning with a starter amount of batter which you "feed" over a course of several days, you are able to bake a loaf or muffins every 10 days. Keeping a portion of the batter to start the next cycle, there's always some leftover to pass out to friends.

If you don't have access to a starter batch of batter, you can start your own.

Making your own starter - Active Dry Yeast Method
2 cups Warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 packet (or 1 tablespoon) Active dry yeast
2 cups All-Purpose flour

Into a clean, 2-quart glass or ceramic bowl, jar or crock, pour the water. Dissolve first the sugar, and then the yeast. Gradually, stir in the flour. Cover the container with a clean cloth (not plastic wrap or waxed paper -- you want the air to be able to get through) and put it in a warm place (between 80 and 85 degrees, ideally). The mixture will start to "work" almost immediately with small bubbles forming on the surface. Stir it once per day and, in three to five days, the bubbling will subside. Give it a good, healthy sniff and, when it has a clean, yeasty, sour smell, it's ready. Give it a final stir (it should have the consistency of pancake batter), cover loosely and refrigerate. The first time you make a cake with this traditional starter, it won't be quite as sweet as it will be the second time. You can either add a bit more sugar to the cake batter to compensate or try it as is.

You can just let the container of batter sit at room temperature normally. However, if the ambient temperature gets too hot and you might be afraid of the batter spoiling, store it in your refrigerator. Just remember to let it warm up to room temperature before baking with it, or feeding it. Also allow it to sit out after feeding until it gets bubbly once again before putting it back into the refrigerator.

Feed the starter you don't use in the cake with equal parts of milk, sugar and flour, enough just for you. Or, in friendship spirit, make enough to divide and share.If you give some away, remember to feed your starter so you'll always have the two cups you need for the recipe and a cup left over to grow some more.

MAPLE MUSTARD GLAZED BAKED HAM

1 8-10 pound fully cooked bone-in ham
Whole cloves

1 cup whole-grain Dijon mustard
1/3 cup golden brown sugar
2 table spoons maple syrup

Score top of ham into diamonds and stud center of each diamond with a clove (just push it into scored diamond points).  Place in pan and cook at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.  The diamonds will open up during cooking and the cloves should remain in place.

In a bowl combine the mustard, brown sugar, and maple syrup.  Remove ham from oven and pour entire mixture over it.  Place back in oven and cook for about 30 additional minutes or until golden brown.  It will form a great crust.

You can make a side sauce to compliment by mixing a 1/2 cup of Dijon and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.

It's good for the holidays, make this and your family will want it every year.

Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

4 1/2 lbs butternut squash, halved lengthwise
5 TBS unsalted butter
4 large leeks (white and tender) chopped
7 sprigs of fresh thyme or 1 TSP dried thyme
6 cups chicken stock-1 TSP salt -1/2 TSP pepper (I use more)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 - 3 TBS chopped chives
8 slices of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

Preheat oven to 350.  Place squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake until tender (about 40 min.)
Let cool slightly.
Using a spoon scoop out and discard seeds.
Scrape the squash from the skin.
Melt butter over low flame, add leeks & thyme cook until soft and light brown (about 40 min)
Stir in the squash and stock, simmer over low heat 20 minutes.
In a blender puree soup until smooth, pour into serving bowls  and top with 1 TBS sour cream and 1 TSP chives and bacon.

Serve with warm crusty bread and beverage of choice.

(Note:  you can microwave the squash whole.  Pierce skin of squash in several places, place on paper towel in microwave, cook approx 10 minutes!  WARNING I tried this once and well it exploded cause I wasn't paying attention.  Never tried THAT again.)

This is a great idea and thanks to all who make this happen.  I will gladly re-post some I had posted a while back if need be. 

Bloody Marys
1 large can V-8 juice
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
4 dashes of Texas Pete or your favorite Tabasco Sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon celery seed or 1 teaspoon celery salt
sliced lime for garnish

Mix well and add your favorite vodka.  Pour over ice and use celery stalk for stir stick.  Fresh lime slices are great with this as a garnish


Try this easy/no mess pork roast:

1 large cooking bag (not the turkey size)
1 center cut pork loin
1 bottle of Kens Steakhouse (or your favorite brand) balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
1 jar of raspberry jam
1/2 cup of cold water

Mix the jam, water, and salad dressing together really well
place the pork loin into the baking bag and then into a shallow roasting pan
pour the jam mixture over the pork roast, seal the bag, poke 4 small slits in top of cooking bag

OK - let this cook at 325 for 2 hours and you have a very good main dish.  I sometimes make potato pancakes as well as steamed cabbage to go with this.

cornbread casserole -

1 box cornbread mix
1 can cream style corn
1 and 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup cooking oil
3 eggs

Mix all ingredients above and bake at 375 for 45 minutes (or until golden brown on top).  I use a round Pyrex dish but use whatever you wish that is oven proof.  Hint: I have been told that glass works better than metal for this.  Most people that I have served this to enjoy it.  You may enjoy it as well.

Grape Salad:
main dish:
3 cups seedless grapes (use the red or black ones)
1 8 oz block of cream cheese (room temp)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2/3 cup of sour cream

topping:
2/3 cup toasted walnuts (chopped)
1/2 cup light brown sugar

Wash the grapes and remove any stems first and pat dry with a towel.  Mix the softened cream cheese with the sour cream and add the 1/2 cup of white sugar.  Stir the grapes and cheese/cream mixture together then top with the mixture of walnuts and brown sugar.  I press the topping down a bit to compact this on top of the grapes and cream.  Cover this and let it sit in the fridge overnight.  Then you are ready for a nice treat.  This goes well with any meal during the summer, winter, fall, or spring.  Enjoy!

Chasen's Chili

Chasen's Restaurant (1936-95) was the site for the Academy Awards for many years and was famous for their chili.  Elizabeth Taylor had Chasen's Chili flown to Rome during the filming of Cleopatra in 1962.  Ronald Reagan proposed to Nancy Davis there, who used the Presidential Entrance on the final night to pick up an order of chili to go.  President Reagan did not venture out in public during his final years.

1 cube Butter
1 medium white onion (coarsely chopped)
1 medium bell pepper (coarsely chopped)
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 lb. lean ground pory
1 clove garlic (chopped)

1 cup pinto beans (soaked overnight)
1 16 oz. can kidney beans
1 16 oz. can stewed tomato
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/3 cup chili powder
1 cup parsley (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp. oregano

Cook the pinto beans, kidney beans, stewed tomato in a big pot with salt, pepper, ground cumin, chili powder and oregano.

Saute the white onion, garlic, and bell pepper in butter (until onion is transparent)  Brown the ground beef and ground pork in onion mixture.  Combine the meat mixture with the bean mixture, let it cook for about 4 hours.  Skim the fat off the top, sprinkle with parsley.

This recipe came from Moffie

Pumpkin Cheescake with Frangelico

24-28 gingersnaps
3 Tbls. water
1/4 cup unsalted butter

Pumpkin Filling
16 oz. cream cheese
16 oz. unsweetened solid pack pumpkin
5 large eggs
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup frangelico
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Sour Cream Topping
16 oz. pure sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup frangelico
16 whole hazelnuts

For the crust:
Grind gingersnaps and sugar in processor (or hand grinder).  With machine running slowly add melted butter.  Press mixture into bottom of 9" spring form pan and freeze for 15 minutes (or until ready to fill and bake- can be prepared 3 days in advance.

For the filling:
Position rack in center of oven, preheat to 350 degrees F.  Make sure all ingredients are room temperature.  Start blending the cream cheese, blend all ingredients in mixer or food processor until totally smooth, stopping to clean sides and see that everything is incorporated.  Pour filling into crust lined pan and bake until the edges of the cake begin begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and cake begins to brown.  This is very important and time will vary.  At about 45 minutes, peek and see.  When the cake is ready, the center will be soft.

For the topping:
Whisk together sour cream, sugar and frangelico.  Without removing cake from the oven, pour topping evenly , starting at the edges over hoit cake.  Carefully spread evenly.  Continue baking cake until the edges start to bubble- about 10 minutes more.  Refrigerate at least 12 hours.  Lightly press hazelnuts around the outside of the cake and serve in about 30 minutes.

Sangria was brought to this country by the Spaniards and was given to travelers along the El Camino Real from San Diego to Monterrey.  There are 21 missions along the El Camino Real which were built to take 1 day of traveling from 1 mission to the other.  The travelers would stay at the mission where they would stay 1 or 2 days.  Traveler rooms were kept ready in every mission where they were served the best food and wine.  It is believed this is where the motel business began.   

Cousin Irma's Sangria

1 gallon red wine (burgundy)
2 oz. orange liquor
2 oz. rum (or brandy)
3 or 4 lemons
1 large bottle soda or mineral water (optional, champagne or club soda)
Bite size chunks of peaches, pineapple, oranges and papayas (only the ones you like)

Pour the wine mixture into a glass pitcher.  Cut the lemons and slide them into the wine.  Place into the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.  Add the bite size chunks of fruit

For generations, my mom's family lived in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and were dirt poor.  Every aunt and every cousins family serves the driest applesauce cake on every Thanksgiving and every Christmas dinner.  It is tradition, there is NO getting around it and it is an acquired taste.

Applesauce Cake

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups sifted flour
1 cup strained applesauce
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp clove

Cream butter, add sugar and cream together until light and fluffy.  Add egg and beat well.  Add the rest of the dry ingredients alternately with applesauce to creamed mixture, fold in raisins and nuts.  Pour into greased 9" tube pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 50- 60 minutes.

My mom and her sisters have long passed, the cousins are far away and I have broken tradition... I made this cake twice in 25 years and both times used 2 cups applesauce instead of the 1 cup and found this cake to be moist.

Jerk/BBQ chicken - serves 2

2 chicken legs
4 ripe tomatoes, quartered
1 onion - sliced
1 tablespoon jerk seasoning
Coriander leaves
jerk BBQ or smoky BBQ sauce

Combine all ingredients except sauce in a shallow casserole dish or lasagne type dish, cover and leave to season for at least an hour.

Heat oven to 350f, 180c, gas mark 4 and cook covered for about 1-1.5 hours.

Remove chicken and place on an oven tray, brush with either jerk BBQ or smoky BBQ sauce or mix of both, depending on your liking for heat/spice, turn oven up to 400f, 200c, gas mark 6 and cook for 20 minutes.

I add a spoonful of BBQ sauce to the gravy left in casserole dish and mix with pasta. You could also use it over rice or potatoes and other veg.

Pesto salmon and pasta salad

This is great for a party buffet, eaten cold. I usually just take a guess at the measurements but these are what I had written down when I first made the dish.

9oz pasta bows
9oz Salmon fillet
3oz Sugar snap peas
3oz Asparagus
3 tbsp Pesto
4 tbsp Mayonaise
Salt & pepper

Cook pasta and allow to cool. Cut salmon into bitesize chunks. In a shallow pan pour water to about 2inches and heat to a simmer. Poach salmon, peas and asparagus for 3 mins. Remove salmon. Drain vegetables and cool with cold water. Mix pesto and mayo together and stir into pasta, add salmon and veg and mix gently to keep as much of the salmon together as you can. Season to taste.

Ted's Alfredo Sauce:

Quart of heavy whipping cream
2 sticks of butter, however I reduce to 1 and a half
1 Cup grated Parmesan Cheese--Or more depending on your taste
Real Garlic, salt and pepper to taste
I add fresh mushrooms, but optional

Heat over low-medium heat until well blended.  Add parmesan cheese once sauce is hot enough to melt and add cheese slowly.  I also add fresh mushrooms after cheese and cook on low.  You really have to stir to make sure cheese is not burning to bottom of pan.  If sauce is too thin for your liking, you can add flour to thicken.   

Put over your favorite pasta.  Asparagus and grilled chicken always go really well!

Potato & Onion Latkes

This is the recipe I use, but because I tend to make greater quantities I exponentially increase the recommended amounts. If you want to end up with a quantity that supposedly serves 8, you can use these amounts. However, it would 8 very small appetites. The quantities below I usually at least double when serving 4 people.

2 eggs
3 cups grated, drained potatoes (I use all kinds of potatoes)
4 tablespoons of grated onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespooms cracker meal or matzoh meal
1/2 cup fat or butter

Beat eggs and add the pototoes, onion, salt, pepper and meal.

Heat half the fat or butter in a brying pan and drop the potato into it by the tablespoon. Fry until browned on both sides. Keep pancakes hot until ready to serve. Add more fat or butter as needed. Usually I fry with low-fat oil.

I serve the latkes with a salad which has everything in it -- at least 2 lettuces, tomato and anything else I feel like throwing in. Simple vinagrette dressing. Makes a good compliment to the pancakes. For beverage I usually serve champagne or other sparkling wine which again like the salad makes a good contrast with the fried pancakes. And I make lots of...  Re leftovers, latkes do not re-heat well but they can still be very tasty
when they have cooled off.

Recipe #2 Edy's Fried Chicken

You can do this with any chicken parts you like. I generally prefer breasts, legs and thighs. (That's the kinda guy I am...)

Hard for me to specify quantities here as I go by "that looks right" method. Ingredients are:

chicken parts
flour
low-fat cooking oil
brown paper bag or plastic one is ok too
eggs
milk
garlic salt to taste

Fill bag with flour.
Mix eggs and milk well in large bowl which add garlic and any other flavoring you like.
Dip each piece of chicken thoroughly into the mix in the bowl.
Then drop pieces of chicken into the bag with the flour and make sure chicken is throughly coated by shaking bag and reaching in to turn pieces around in bag. You may want to wear latex gloves when breading the chicken because after a lot of dipping the chicken you may begin to develop a coating on your hands that can really stick.

Put flour-coated chicken into a large bowl or pan and refrigerate so the flour is sticking firmly to the chicken by the time you are ready to start frying. Leave it that way for an hour or longer. (Can do it overnight if you want to prepare in advance of cooking.

When ready to fry, heat cooking oil long enough so that if you throw a few drops of water into the pan the drops will pop. Use a good deep pan if possible.

Begin putting in the pieces of chicken leaving enough room for each to fit comfortably in the pan. Keep turning them over and checking for nice, golden brown color (or darker if you like 'em really well done.) I usually do a massive quantity. It's great eaten hot but cold works too. And it freezes wonderfully if you want to put some away for another time. I do it with skin on chicken parts and love it when it gets good and crusty. Yum.

Also serve this with a big everything salad and sparkling wine.

Enjoy!

Fresh Cranberry Chutney
2 bags of fresh cranberries (wash them well and pick out the stems and bad berries)
2 cups of sugar (I sometimes use a little less to make it tart)
3 small or 2 big oranges (peeled and diced)
1 regular size apple (do NOT peal but dice)
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon  of dark vinegar

Mix this all together in a big pot and boil on top of the stove for 15 to 20 minutes.  All the cranberries should pop by then, keep stirring it off an on during the duration of cooking.  Let this cool, place in decorative jars or in one big bowl and allow to come to room temp. before you put it in the fridge.  This goes great with poultry or just by itself.   (I made some today when I saw that our market had the fresh berries.)  Enjoy!

Stuffed Jalapenos

- 6-10 whole jalapenos.
-2 eggs
-small block of Sharp Chedddar cheese.
-1/2 Cup of flour
-1.2 cup of cornmeal.
-Oil

Heat about 1 inch of oil in large pan.
Cut off the stem end of jalapenos and scoop out seeds ( I use the handle end of a spoon as a scoop) Cut finger size pieces of cheese, just large enough to fit inside jalapeno. Place cheese in jalapeno.

Beat 2 eggs together in a small bowl. In a separate bowl combine flour and cornmeal.

Dip chesse-stuffed jalapenos in the egg and then in the flour/ cornmeal mixture, place in pan and fry until bottom portion is golden brown, gently turn and fry other side.
Place on paper towels and blot the excess grease off.

Serve up with an ice cold Dos Equis in a chilled glass.

Carne Asada with Coffee Mop Sauce

1 medium or large flank steak


Coffee Mop Sauce

1/2cup tomato sauce

1 cup strong black coffee
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 tbs sugar
1 tbs salt
1tabs pepper
1 stick butter (or margarine)

combine all sauce ingredients and simmr on low heat for 20 minutes and cool. Marinate the flank steak in the coffee sauce for 3-4 hours. Grill over Oak briquets, or charcoal, etc..generously mopping frequently never letting the steak get completely dry.

a note on grilling a flank steak, it is a thin steak so typically will grill fairly fast. Be sure your fire is hot, the perfect fire will be when the briquets are turning gray and there is still an active flame amidst the briquests (but not shooting up more than 4 or 5 inches.). Place the flank steak on the grill and do not touch it for 3 minutes, then turn it and leave it for another 3 minutes. This will give it a nice brown delicious crust. After searing both sides start mopping it and turning regularly for about another 3 or 4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, if you are uncertain remove from fire and cut a small slit in the center and check for doneness.

The Coffe mop sauce is also good on chicken!

Again, goes best with an ice cold cerveza!

Bourbon Weenies (great appetiser)
1 package all beef (I use Angus) Ball Park Franks cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
1/4 cup bourbon

Slice your weenies and place them into a saucepan.  Cook these on medium so that they start to get a bit brown.  Add catsup, brown sugar, and bourbon.  Turn heat down to low and let this simmer for at least 15 minutes.  Stir this every 5 minutes then serve in a nice, pretty bowl.  Use toothpicks to spear and remove from sauce while warm.  This is always a hit.  Enjoy!!

Party Mix

2 cups wheat chex
2 cups corn chex
2 cups rice chex
2 cups mixed nuts (I use the unsalted ones)
1 cup Pepperage Farm goldfish crackers
1 cup pretzel bits (please dont use the little sticks.. use the little rounds)
1/4 cup cooking oil
Garlic Salt and crushed black pepper to taste.  I like lots of this so you decide what is best for your creation.  A dash or two of Texas Pete hot sauce.

Mix all the above and place in a large roasting pan.  Set the oven to 325 and bake on middle rack for 25 minutes.  Stir this as it bakes about every 5 minutes or so.  Again, use your own judgement as to how brown you want this to get, just dont let it burn.  Take this out of the oven and let the mixture cool before you serve or package up into zip lock bags for gifts.

Recession Soup
Note:  This is really never made the exact same way twice.  Its made from leftover meats and veggies that one would collect over the course of several weeks.  You will need a big pot for top of the stove cooking.

Frozen Ham, Roast, Steak, Chicken, Sausage, etc (any time you have leftovers, freeze them and keep until its soup time).  Use any or all of these for the soup.  The implication is that all meat has been previously cooked and frozen prior to making recession soup.  DONT USE FISH FOR THIS

You will also need:
Enough water or chicken broth to cover the meat(s) completely.  I like the liquid portion to be at least several inches higher than the meat in the pot.
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 head raw cabbage (chopped)
2 medium or 1 large chopped onion
3 or 4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup sugar
1 can of whole tomatoes

Put all of this in a large pot and cook on medium heat on top of the stove for at least 1 and 1/2 hours.  Serve hot.  Enjoy!

1 Egg
1/3 cup Dark Rum

Cream butter and sugar then add hot water gradually until about the consistency of honey.  Add the hot mixture gradually to the beaten egg, beating after each addition.  Add rum last.  Serve this hot over spice cake.  I thing this is also great over pound cake.

1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour

2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk*
1/4 lb butter

Preheat the oven to 375.
Either spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray, or for best results coat an iron skillet with 2 tbsps of oil.
place pan in oven to preheat.

thoroughly mix the dry ingredients (soda, salt, sugar, cornmeal and flour) together in a large bowl.
mix the eggs and buttermilk together in another bowl.
melt the butter, and mix into the wet ingredients.
mix all ingredients together in the large bowl.

carefullly remove hot pan from oven and quickly pour ingredients into the pan. A quick jiggle of the pan should even out the batter. Put pan back into oven and bake for 30-40 mins. Top should be golden brown and inserted knife should come out clean.

Milk (just under one cup)
1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice

Place tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.

And, as for the origins of Pavlova, Jan - are you flame bating all the Aussies and trying to (re)start a war?  ;)


Sorry Steve I don't, it was on the Menu as "Aligator Steak Fillets" it was my neighbor in Oz who gave me the actuall recipe...now as for the Pav..read and weep.

Pavlova – the humble dessert named after a Ballerina that divides two countries. While some pavlova lovers in Australia and New Zealand bicker about this lovely dessert’s origins, I decided to do some research to find out the truth behind the Pavlova’s origins and history. It’s first incarnation was from NZ in 1927, where the ladies of the Terrace Congregational Church published a recipe book which included a meringue cake recipes. By 1929, it was published in a number of books, but this mixture was baked into 3 dozen meringue rings. The meringue rings were very popular in New Zealand by the 1930′s.
 
However, that’s when Australia butts in – the good ol’ pav recipe that we know of today comes from Herbert Sachse, the Chef of the Hotel Esplanade in Perth..so the Aussie's decided to claim it for themsleves. in other words they tried to steal it from us. ;)

I rest my case... ;D

Pour melted butter into 1 and 1/2 quart casserole dish, add squash and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place onion slices on top of this.  Mix the mayo, vinegar, chopped bell pepper, beaten egg, pimento and sugar then pour this mixture over the squash and onions.  Bake this in a 350 degree oven (middle rack) for 35 or 40 minutes.  Note:  If you prefer your veggies 'al dente', cook no more than 30 minutes.  5 minutes before its done, take this out and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top then put it back into the oven so that it can melt and brown somewhat.  Take it out and serve while hot.  Enjoy!

Alan's Baked Mac & Cheese
(This has a less creamy consistancy than many other recipes)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

You will need the following ingredients:

2 cups pasta (macaroni, penne, or any smaller variety)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup bread crumbs (plain or panko)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups evaporated milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (mild or sharp)
2 cups shredded colby cheese
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Place 1/2 of the pasta into a buttered casserole dish.  Top with 1 cup of each cheese. Repeat

Combine the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, the cayenne pepper, and salt. Pour over the pasta and cheese.

Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining butter and the parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture over the pasta and cheese. (For larger casserole dishes you may need to double the topping recipe)

Cover loosely with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.

Enjoy

- Alan

PS- I have been making Mac and Cheese for years and this recipe has evolved from many different ones. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as my family and friends do :)

Michael (ChoofNHurl),

I think we are going to have Infringement issues with the Chasen's Chilli and Peanut Butter Pie, so we will not be able to use them. That is unless if you have adapted them significantly for your own use.

PS- I love the Moffie cheesecake recipe!!!, I'm sure he would be proud to be helping in this fundraising event!

  Shrimp Fried Rice

  2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
  1 lb of Shrimp, peeled and devained
  4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  1 cup chopped onion
  1 cup diced carrots
  2 egg, lightly beaten
  4 cups cooked white rice
  6 Tbsp soy sauce
  6 scallions, thinly sliced

  In a large heavy non-stick skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Cook shrimp quickly till they are pink .  Remove from heat, if they are very large I usually cut them in half after cooking.  Make sure to discard the shrimp tails.  To the same skillet you cooked the shrimp in add the onion and cook for 1 minute, then add the carrot and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring constantly.  Then add the garlic to the mixture and cook for about one more minute.  DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC.  Add Rice and then the egg making sure to toss quickly to distrubute the egg.   Now stir in soy sauce.  Remover from heat and stir in the scallions.  

Enjoy

Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Barbequed Ribs

3 - 4 lbs spareribs
1 onion sliced
1 (16 oz.) bottle barbeque sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
Soul Food Seasoning
Onion Powder               (I didn't put amount for seasonings as each person likes a different amount)
Pepper                         (I usually spray the ribs with the canola spray and put in large bowl season and
Seasoned Salt                 mix around the ribs so seasoning fully coats - spray helps it to stick to ribs)
Canola Spray

1) Slice ribs into bite size pieces (if desired)
2)Spray ribs with canola spray (or PAM) and season generously with seasonings above - or others you enjoy
3) Put ribs on broiler pan or baking sheet and put in oven on broil for approx. 15 minutes or until lightly brown
3) Put sliced onion into Crock Pot
4) Place ribs on top
5) Pour barbeque sauce over ribs
6) Cover and cook on low 10 hours (6 hours if on high)

These will make the whole house smell like barbeque and they fall off the bone.  

Great served with Corn on the Cob and fries.

VEAL STEW ----- FOR THOSE COLD WINTER DAYS!

1 1/4lb veal for stew
2   yukon gold potatoes (medium size chopped to bite size)
1   sweet potato (skinned and  chopped to bite size)
3   stalks of celery (chopped to bite size)
1   large onion (peeled and chopped to bite size)
3   carrots (skinned and chopped to bite size)
1   can of beef broth, low sodium
1   can of Cambell's Select french onion soup
4   ounces of red wine
1   tbl spoon of evoo
1   tbl spoon of worcestershire sauce
1   tbl spoon of ketchup
1   tbl spoon garlic salt
1   tbl spoon black pepper(coarsely ground)
1   pinch (literally) of thyme
1   tbl spoon of basil
1   pinch (literally) of rosemary

Cut the veal into bite size pieces and place in a 4 quart pressure cooker with evoo. Brown the veal then add the wine. Cook for about 2 minutes more. Add all the remaining ingredients. If it looks as though you need more fluid, add 1/4 cup of water.
Place the cover on the pressure cooker and cook under pressure for 15 minutes (start timing the 15 minutes when the pressure  has built up in the cooker). Remove from heat and let the pressure go down before removing cover (the pressure monitor on the cooker will let you know when there is no more pressure--- about 15 minutes). Remove cover and stir stew. Stew will be hot. Serve immediately and enjoy. If you prefer, for thicker stew, let stew cool and place in the fridge overnight. Reheat stove top next day.

Serve with salad and garlic bread and (of course) the rest of the wine.

Serves 4

Braised Short Ribs with Potato Purée, Swiss Chard and Horseradish Cream

Serves 4 (generously) to 6

6 beef short ribs, about 14 to 16 ounces each (ask for 3 bone center-cut)

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, and 4 whole sprigs thyme

1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper

3 dozen small pearl onions

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup diced onion

1/3 cup diced carrot

1/3 cup diced celery

2 bay leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 cups port

2 1/2 cups hearty red wine

6 cups beef or veal stock

4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley

2 bunches Swiss chard, cleaned, center ribs removed

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Horseradish Cream (recipe follows)


Season the short ribs with 1 tablespoon thyme and the cracked black pepper. use your hands to coat the meat well. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Take the short ribs out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking, to come to room temperature. After 30 minutes, season them generously on all sides with salt.

When you take the ribs out of the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Toss the pearl onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast them about 15 minutes, until tender. When they have cooled, slip off the skins with your fingers and set aside. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees F.

When it’s time to cook the short ribs, heat a large Dutch oven [or a large saute pan, if you would like to use a separate braising dish; I aimed to use fewer dishes] over high heat for 3 minutes. Pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil, and wait a minute or two, until the pan is very hot and almost smoking. Place the short ribs in the pan, and sear until they are nicely browned on all three meaty sides. Depending on the size of your pan, you might have to sear the meat in batches. Do not crowd the meat or get lazy or rushed at this step; it will take at least 15 minutes. [I find this takes closer to 45 minutes if you're really thorough. Be thorough!] When the ribs are nicely browned, transfer them to a plate to rest.

Turn the heat down to medium, and add the onion, carrot, celery, thyme springs, and bay leaves. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the crusty bits in the pan. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables just begin to caramelize. Add the balsamic vinegar, port, and red wine. Turn the heat up to high, and reduce the liquid by half.

Add the stock and bring to a boil. Arrange ribs in the pot, lieing flat, bones standing up, in one layer. [If you used a saute pan for previous steps, transfer the ribs to a braising pan at this point.] Scrape any vegetables that have fallen on the ribs back into the liquid. The stock mixture should almost cover the ribs. Tuck the parsley sprigs in and around the meat. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and a tight-fitting lid if you have one. Braise in the oven for about 3 hours.

To check the meat for doneness, remove the lid and foil, being careful of the escaping steam, and piece a short rib with a paring knife. When the meat is done, it will yield easily to a knife. Taste a piece if you are not sure. [If you would like to cook these a day ahead, this is where you can pause. The next day, you can remove the fat easily from the pot -- it will have solidified at the top -- bring these back to a simmer on the stove or in an oven, and continue.]

Let the ribs rest 10 minutes in their juices, and then transfer them to a baking sheet.

Turn the oven up to 400 degrees F.

Place the short ribs in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes to brown.

Strain the broth into a saucepan, pressing down on the vegetables with a ladle to extract all the juices. Skim the fat from the sauce (if you made these the day before, you will have already skimmed them) and, if the broth seems thin, reduce it over medium-high heat to thicken slightly. Taste for seasoning.

Heat a large saute pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Tear the Swiss chard into large pieces. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to the pan, and stir in the cooked pearl onions. Add half the Swiss chard, and cook a minute or two, stirring the greens in the oil to help them wilt. Add a splash of water and the second half of the greens. Season with a heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring frequently, until the greens are tender.

Place the swiss chard on a large warm platter, and arrange the short ribs on top. Spoon lots of braising juices over the ribs. Serve the potato puree and horseradish cream (recipes below) on the side.

Horseradish Cream

3/4 cup créme fraîche

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine the créme fraîche and horseradish in a small bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Taste for balance and seasoning.

Michael (ChoofNHurl),

I think we are going to have Infringement issues with the Chasen's Chilli and Peanut Butter Pie, so we will not be able to use them. That is unless if you have adapted them significantly for your own use.

PS- I love the Moffie cheesecake recipe!!!, I'm sure he would be proud to be helping in this fundraising event!

Hi Will,

Chasen's Restaurant closed in 1995 or 1996 and the Peanut Butter Pie if it was from Samantha Crist or Dana Crumb is published.   ;D   Have the best day

Bocker's White Lasagna

This recipe is a closely held secret – it has been passed on to very few
individuals.


Ingredients:
2 1bs   Boneless skinless chicken breast – poached about 50% cooked and diced
½ cup   Butter
1 sm pkg   Mushrooms, sliced
2 cups   Milk
1 ½ cups   Heavy Cream
2 cloves   Garlic (more or less – to your taste)
¼ cup   Flour
½ tsp   Salt
½ tsp   Tarragon
½ tsp   Rosemary
Dash   Nutmeg  (this is a KEY part -- don't skip it)
1 ½ cups   Romano Cheese, grated or shredded
1 lg pkg   Mozzarella Cheese
1 lg tub   Ricotta Cheese
1 lg pkg   Lasagna Noodles
   
   
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan
2. Add Mushrooms, cook until wilted
3. Stir in Milk and Cream – bring to a boil, stirring continuously
4. Remove from heat, add garlic, flour, seasonings and Romano cheese – Stir
5. Spread ~1/2 cup of sauce on bottom of 13x9x2 lasagna pan
6. layer as follows:  noodles, sauce, ricotta, chicken, mozzarella
7. Layer as deep as desired (should be enough for 2 or 3 layers – add to ingredients above if more layers desired
8. Pour all leftover sauce onto lasagna and cover with aluminum foil
9. Bake at 350° for 40-45 mins  (uncover for final 5 mins)
10. Let stand for 20 mins before serving

NOTE: 
This recipe calls for cooking noodles in oven with the lasagna – you can also precook noodles, which should reduce baking time to about 25-30 mins.

VARIATIONS: 
You can add broccoli florets or other vegetables to make a more complete (and colorful) meal.  You can remove chicken for a meat free delight.


You have my permission to use this recipe and my screenname in the AMG book.

Slovakian Halupki (This is my grandmother's recipe)

1 large head of cabbage (or two smaller heads if large heads are unavailable)

1 pound of ground beef

1 pound pork sausage

1 cup of cooked rice

1 egg

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of pepper

1 teaspoon of garlic powder or minced garlic

1 large jar of sauerkraut

2 to 3 large cans of tomato sauce

Combine the ground beef, sausage, rice, spices and egg and mix together with your hands to make sure evenly mixed.

Blanche the cabbage until the leaves are pliable but not cooked.

Remove the leaves individually from the cabbage head and place about a Tablespoonful of the mixture in the center of each leaf. Roll into a cabbage roll and place, open side down, in a large pot.

After a layer of cabbage rolls has been placed in the pot, sprinkle a handful of sauerkraut over the rolls, then some of the tomato sauce.

Repeat this until the mixture and cabbage have been used up. Leave at least an inch at the top of the pot, do not fill to the brim. If necessary, use two or more pots.

You may need more tomato sauce or sauerkraut for larger batches and your personal taste.

Fill the pot containing the rolls with water to about an inch or inch and a half from the top, making sure all the rolls are at least covered.

Cover and simmer the cabbage rolls for two hours, although the longer you simmer them, the better they get.

Make extra, it freezes beautifully.

Stuffed calamari

Enough calamari for the crowd you're feeding. Plan on about a half-pound per person.

One package of baby portobello muschrooms (I think they are 9 ounces)

One half cup of raisens

One half cup pine nuts

One cup of cooked brown or white rice.

Marinara sauce.

Clean and peel calimari carefully, retaining the tentacles. Leave the squid whole.

Dice the portobello mushrooms.

Combine the mushrooms, pine nuts, raisens, rice and minced tentacles. Stuff the bodies of the squid with the mixture, then close the end with a toothpick.

Place in a lightly greased or non-stick baking pan. Cover with the marinara sauce then cover the dish with foil.

Bake in a 350 oven for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of squid. Check occasionally while cooking to ensure the sauce doesn't burn.

Serve while hot, but remember to take out the toothpicks.


Marinara sauce

2 one-pound cans of whole, peeled tomatoes

2 six-ounce cans of tomato paste

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup chopped onions

2 cloves minced garlic

2 teaspoons chopped parsley

1/2 cup finely chopped celery

1 Tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add onions and garlic, cook until soft.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 21/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce thickens.

Makes approximately 3-1/2 pints

These are a traditional holiday cookie here in New Mexico. This is my modified recipe that makes them gluten free.

Gluten free Biscochitos            

1 pound lard                  
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups sugar                
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons anise seed          
1/2 cup brandy
2 eggs, beaten                  
1/4 cup sugar
6 cups gluten free baking flour (equal parts white rice flour, tapioca flour and potato starch flour)                  
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Cream the lard, sugar, and anise seed in a large mixing bowl.

Add the eggs and beat well.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Alternately add flour and brandy to creamed mixture until stiff dough has been formed.

Knead dough slightly and pat or roll to a 1/4 inch to a 1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough into desired shapes using your favorite cookie cutter. Traditionally, these cookies are cut in a fleur de lis shape.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Dust the top of each cookie with a small amount of mixture.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.

Makes about 5 dozen

Gluten free peanut butter cookies

1 cup creamy peanut butter

Mix ingredients well

Drop a teaspoon full at a time onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake at 350º until golden brown (time depends on oven, but about 8 to 10 minutes.)

Will,

I was looking over my submission for party mix and there is an ingredient that I forgot to include.  Please add this if you would when it goes to print or I can re-do that submission if you prefer.  The mix needs Worcestershire sauce (10 big dashes) before it gets toasted.  Thanks in advance and pls advise if I need to just submit it again with this included.  All others that I posted are accurate. 

Thanks!

Buttermilk Angel Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk

1 Preheat oven to 450°F
2 Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl
3 Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal. (If using a food processor, just pulse a few times)
4 Add 3/4 cup buttermilk and mix JUST until combined
5 If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk
6 Turn the dough out onto a floured board
7 Gently PAT (do not use a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick
8 Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.
9 Gently knead, as little as possible, the scraps together and make a few more
10 Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet, putting them touching each other
11 Bake for about 10-12 minutes. the biscuits will be a light golden brown on top and bottom

Notes:
The key to real biscuits is not in the ingredients, but in the handling of the dough. The dough must be handled as little as possible or you will have tough biscuits.

You can make these biscuits, cut them, put them on cookie sheets and freeze them. Bag them into ziplock bags and store for up to a month in the freezer. When you want fresh biscuits, simply place them frozen on a cookie sheet and bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes.

Hummus
------------

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1 can liquid from can of chickpeas *
1 tbl spoon of honey** (if you prefer a sweeter hummus)
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation:

Add chickpeas (with its liquid) and combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth.

Place in serving bowl, and create a shallow well in the center of the hummus.

Add a small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of olive oil in the well. Sprinkle with Paprika and garnish with parsley (optional).

Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita bread, or cover and refrigerate.
Variations

For a spicier hummus, add a sliced red chile or a dash of cayenne pepper.

Storing Hummus

Hummus can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be kept in the freezer for up to one month. Add a little olive oil if it appears to be too dry.

* You can substitute with plain yoghurt (nice taste too) if you want a thicker paste but I experimented and it's too thick.
** I use an Oligosaccharide sugar syrup to sweeten the hummus. Raw honey will do just fine

Recipes from MinisMom!  (permission received via pm and verified original recipes)

Thanks Minismom!!

Mum's Home made chicken gravy:

Chicken stock (broth) - I pour mine through a strainer to make sure all the fat and stray meat don't get into the gravy.
3 TBS margarine or butter
3 TBS flour
Milk

In a heavy sauce pan on medium heat, melt the margarine or butter. When melted add the flour and mix well. The mixture will be lumpy. Reduce heat to low. Slowly add milk, about 1/8 cup at a time and stir well. Continue to add milk until the mixture is creamy. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock to the mixture and stir constantly until it comes to a boil. This may take awhile, but increasing the heat or not stirring will burn the gravy and make it turn very dark. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Keep a very close eye on the gravy and stir regularly. As the gravy becomes thickened, taste to make sure it isn't too rich. If it is, then add more milk a small amount at a time. If the gravy isn't rich enough, add more chicken stock a little at a time. If the gravy is too thick, add more milk or stock. If it is too thick, then mix a small amount of flour and milk in a cup. Stir until the flour is completely disolved (mixture will be thick). Slowly pour mixture into the gravy, stirring constantly. If you dont' stir, the addition will turn into "dumplings". That's it. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't.

Now, if you want the "taste" of homemade without all the fuss, here's a trick. Buy a package (or 2) of gravy mix powder - the kind you add water to. Instead of adding water, add half water and half of the chicken stock. Follow the cooking directions on the package. Same taste, less time
----------------------------



---------------------------------------------------

One pan chicken and stuffing bake

1 1/2 cups boiling water
4 tbsp margarine, melted
4 cups pepperidge farm cubed herb seasoned stuffing (white or white/wheat mix - not cornbread)
4 - 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, thawed (I use boneless skinless chicken tenderloins)
1 (10 3/4 oz) can of cream of chicken soup (I used reduced fat kind)
1/3 cup of milk
1/8 - 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning, optional

In a bowl, mix water, margarine, poultry seasoning if desired, and stuffing. Stir to mix well. Pour into a 10x13 baking pan sprayed with Pam. Place raw, but thawed, boneless skinless chicken on top of the stuffing. In a seperate bowl, mix soup and milk. Pour over chicken and stuffing. Bake 400 degrees uncovered for 30

----------------------------------
Baked French Toast

*You can go healthier with this recipe by using the items in paranthesis

1/2 cup syrup (sugar-free syrup)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup brown sugar
2 sticks margarine

Boil above in a saucepan for 1 minute stirring constantly. Pour into a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle top with 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.

Cover with sliced Italian bread or other firm bread (double fiber whole wheat bread) cut into quarters. Make sure that bread is tight, but left in one layer. On top of that, pour batter made from:

8 eggs (egg beater substitute)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup half-and-half. I use either Southern Pecan flavor or French Vanilla Flavor (reduced fat half/half)
1 cup milk

Cover and refrigerate overnight

Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes uncovered.

--------------

Mum's Chicken 'n Noodles

This is actually something I literally threw together trying to make something different. It turned out really well and it was devoured! I'm going to omit the chicken next time and just use it as a side dish. With the chicken, just add a veggie and it's a full meal.


Ingredients:
3 boneless / skinless chicken breasts
1 package of no-yolks wide egg noodles
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (low fat works fine)
1/3 cup of milk (I used 1%)
1/2 stick of margarine
onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to taste

Boil the chicken breasts until done. Remove the chicken and cut into bite-sized cubes. Boil the noodles in the same water as the chicken breasts, adding water if needed. Drain noodles and return to pot. Add cream of chicken soup, milk, margarine, and seasonings to the noodles. Stir until well mixed. Add chicken to the noodles. Stir. Serve hot.

If using as a side dish and omitting the chicken, I boil the noodles in water with a dissoloved chicken bouillon cube.

-------------------------

Egg Sausage Souflee (not low fat, but it makes a lot)

6 - 10 pieces of bread, toasted and torn into quarters
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup of milk
1cup cheddar cheese
1 lb ground sausage (turkey sausage works great), cooked and crumbled
salt and pepper to taste

Line the bottom of a cassarole dish, or 9x12 inch baking pan with toasted bread pieces. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the sausage and 1/3 of the cheese. Continue to layer in that order, ending with the cheese. Mix the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a seperate bowl until well mixed. Pour egg custard over the cassarole. Bake 350 degrees, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hr or until eggs are set. This is better if refrigerated overnight before baking. Microwave leftovers are really good!


-------------------

Romaine Salad

Dressing: 1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar OR 3/4 cup Splenda + 2 TBSP sugar
Mix and chill. Better if allowed to blend overnight.

Serve with:
Chopped Romaine lettuce
craisins
chopped walnuts
sliced strawberries
Mix lettuce ingredients. Toss in dressing just before serving.

If using as a meal, add precooked, sliced chicken breast or chicken strips.

-------------------------------
Fairly Fat Free Fried Potatos

Potatoes
Fat-free Italian dressing
Parmesean cheese

Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Place them on a papertowel in the microwave. Microwave them on high for 5 - 8 minutes or until a fork inserted in the middle goes through. Some potatoes may be done before others. Place the cooked potatoes in the refrigerator until they are completely cooled (cold). This makes them slice prettier. Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut into 1/8 inch slices (or thicker).

In a skillet, put just enough fat-free italian dressing to cover the bottom. Heat until bubbling. Place the potato slices in the dressing and cook until crispy. Turn and cook on the other side until crispy. Remove and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

These taste like super greasy, fat-full fried potatoes. Not only are they fat-free, but they are WONDERFUL for any meal of the day

 Consomme Carrots

8 medium sized fresh carrots.
2 Tbs Butter
1 1/2 Tbs chopped parsley
1 can Campbells Beef Consomme Soup
2 Tbs chopped onion.

The key to this recipe is the Campbells Beef Consomme soup, sometimes it is hard to find but if anything else is used you will not have as good a flavor.

Melt butter in saucepan, add onion and parsley and cook for 5 min on medium to low heat, stirring often. Cut Carrots into 1 inch pieces. Add carrots, Campbells Beef Consomme and just a dash of nutmeg into saucepan wth onion and parsley. Cover. Cook for 20 minutes over medium heat.  If you like really tender carrots cook for an additional 15 minutes uncovered.

Unfortunately I can't find most of my mom's bread recipes (she loved to bake bread), but I did stumble across this one. . . .I remember it as being really yummy.

Bacon, Swiss, and Cheddar Casserole Bread

2 strips bacon
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm milk
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup shredded Swiss Cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 TBL sugar
2 TBL dill seeds
1 TSP Salt
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 TBL melted butter

Cook bacon in skillet until crisp.  Drain on paper towel and crumble.

In small bowl dissolve yeast in warm water, let stand till foamy.

Mix together milk, cheeses, bacon, onion, bell pepper, sugar, dill, salt and egg until blended.

Stir yeast mixture into cheese mixture.  Stir in flour slowly, about 1/2 cup at a time, until stilff dough.

Place dough in large greased bowl, turn to coat all sides.  Cover loosely with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place till doubled.

Grease a 2 qt. round casserole.  Punch dough down.  Place in casserole and cover loosely again with a damp cloth, let rise in warm place till doubled.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake bread until it is golded, approx. 45 minutes.
