    Sassy Apple Slaw with creamy tart-apple dressing

    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...

    Simple Lemon Pie

    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...

    French Fried Onion Encrusted Chicken

    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...

    Apple Honey Brined Turkey

    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...

    Creamy Fruit Fluff

    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...

    Devil's Fudge Brownies using Frank's RedHot Sauce

    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...

    Nanner Puddin!!

    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...

    Nanner Puddin!!

    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...

    Scottys Twinkie Tiramisu

    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...

    Nanner Puddin!!

    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...

    Ricotta cheesecake

    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...

    Ice Cream Bread

    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...

    Garlic-Chili Shrimp and Grits

    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?

    Spinach Caprese Salad

    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...

    I just came across this - fabulous brine recipe. I can't wait for thanksgiving to try it out. Gonna try and do this for the holiday weekend. it sounds so easy. I've been brining turkeys for decades but never in apple juice. I usually use a savory herb brine. I cook up the brine on the...

    Where is it?

    I should have added - arborio rice coating is just arborio rice pulsed in a food processor or coffee grinder until it's crumbs and flour. it doesn't always work well so you could always just pulse some puffed rice for a better effect

    Grilled Polenta

    I use about a 3rd less liquid cuz I like my Polenta/mush to be thicker and sturdier. I also add some grated cheese and grill seasoning to the mush before patting it into the pan and fridging it. You can then cut it into squares, flour it, egg it , bread it and deep fry it. Top with another...

    Ice Cream Bread

    wow - gotta try these. Hey Bruce - My Grandad was from Newton Falls (Mill town on the Oswegatchie River not far from Star lake) and when we were kids, he used to tell us stories about these magical birds called "Chicken-Crows" who came to Newton Falls in the summer and lived in the Lilac Bushes...

    Not Yo' Momma's Banana Pudding - Paula Dean

    This sounds great but it's really a trifle recipe and not a "pudding" as americans call pudding. Puddings where my family comes from are steamed in a bain marie and more like eggless cakes. We call Pudding "custard". FY Trifles are combinations of custard, cake and fruit. Just like this...

    Choco-cherry cake

    Allie - here's a suggestion for a lighter frosting: Blend one package of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tub of french vanilla coolwhip. Whip it together well and then refrigeratre for half an hour before frosting whatever you plan to frost. it sets up quite well and has a nice...

    No Sugar added Dreamsicle Smoothie For the folks who want an icy cold frosty beverage but are trying to limit sugar intake or just not drink a lot of calories. It really does invoke that classic Dreamsicle taste we loved as kids. These can be spiked with Vodka if you feel the need but then you...

    Baked Calico Beans

    My friend R.A. Milhailoff, an actor whose been is some rather interesting projects (Texas Chainsaw Masscare III and Dinosaur City to name two), taught me to make something very similar. He used much the same types of beans in smaller amounts and added liberal amounts carmelized onions, dry...
