This is a large recipe - you can cut in half if not feeding a horde - it is my own recipe. Sassy Apple Slaw Salad mix: *2 standard bags of prepared coleslaw mix (green cabbage with a little red and some shredded carrots) *4 normal sized Gala or Fuji apples, washed, cored and sliced into...

I do a simple lemon pie but it's different - (of course) and it's based on a 150 year old Shaker recipe I found back when i was an Archeologist. I gopt the recipe from a very old. dusty and falling apart Shaker Cookbook. For some reason, men seem tolove this pie more than women. Shaker Lemon...

I find that this kind of thing works better when you mix the cruched french fried onions half and half with corn flakes or with japanese Panko breadcrumbs. it helps up the crunch factor and keeps the onions from overwhelming the dish with their saltiness and greasyness. My hsuband likes me to...

Rob - I used to cook with Chambord all the time but to my mind, they've changed the taste of it in the past 7 to 10 years. Now when I cook with it, I get a hint of an unpleasant cough-syrup type flavor instead of the nice light rasbberry of old. Anyone else detect a downward slide with...

this sounds like a whipped fruit salad my mom and grandma used to make., They used real whipping cream beat to stiff peaks and no cream cheese but I think there was some sour cream in there so it's kinda of the same taste. They added white grapes cut in half and some cut up canned peaches as...

I tried this recipe over the weekend and it came out well. I have a new microwave and was eager to try a Microwave brownie recipe. Some of you might want to add a different hot sauce or add more of it. Just make sure you don't overcook the borwnies or they'll wind upo like bricks. They'll...

one other thing about cooking with mashed nanners - I usually add a little splash of Frangelico hazelnut liqueor to anything that calls for mashed nanners such as nanner bread, nanner pudding, nanner muffins etc. The small hint of roasted hazelnut seems to enhance the nanner-ness of the dish...

I won't argue that it sounds delish! I just would call it nanner trifle and not nanner puddin'! :grin: One tip for getting really good sweet banana flavor in anything you cook is to wait until the nanners are practically all black and the skins have thinned significantly. The nanners inside...

The Twinkie site has a few good recipes similar to this. I'll go get my fave one and bring it here in a bit. it's for version of Straweberry shortcake Ala Twinkie but I think it's called strawberry Twinkie Fantasy. I'm thinking of making up a similar recipe but using peaches and peach...

This isn't a recipe but more of a sugesstion. When I was in grad School, I worked assisting a well-known caterer in Albany NY who had a unique banana Pudding. He took a very rich cooked Vanilla Bean rice pudding (the kind with eggs and heavy cream) and added banana puree to it plus sliced...

Mmmmm - reminds me of Italian Easter Pie which is a Rice & Ricotta cheese pie. I'll have to dig up the recipe and post it. OK, here's my recipe for Italian Easter Pie but it is also nice served on a summer day for a BBQ or cookout. Note that I prefer to bake mine in a square or rectangle...

Oh dang - you're not in utica New York at all - NEVERMIND. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Oh dear. I'd hate to think what curse might befall you if you tried to kill, smoke and eat a Chicken-Crow or a Peanut-Butter Bird. They can be vengeful or so I recall. Since their primary activity is rewarding good boys and girls with wishes in various ways and teaching them moral lessons, I...

wow 2 different shimp and grits recipe. I certainly would never have thought of this. Great combo although I think I like Paula Deen's recipe a little better. Isn't everything always better with Cajun Ham?

I made this this weekend to go with some BBQ Wahoo (Deep sea white meat fish). I usually serve a vinegar based slaw, but this was a nice change of pace. To round out the meal, I made some sauteed Spelt with bell peppers. The Spelt gets made just like a risotto and is better for ya. Spinach...
