|
Here you go, this is a recipe I have for orange baked apples! It goes well with ginger toast This is my favourite recipe. My gram taught me to make this recipe, though I've modified it a little bit. There are similar recipes on the web as well, but this is my recipe.
2/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons red cinnamon candies, or red-hots
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 cup orange juice
whipped cream or whipped topping
6 medium tart apples
In a saucepan combine the honey, candies, orange peel, and orange juice. Bring to a boil and cook until candies are dissolved, stirring frequently. Peel and core the apples; arrange in an 8-inch baking dish. Pour the hot syrup over the apples. Bake uncovered at 350° for 1 hour, or until apples are tender, turning occasionally. Serves 6. Top each serving with some of the juice and whipped cream or topping. Enjoy! |

I know how you love a good gooey bar cookie...
Gooey Caramel-Chocolate Bars
makes about 48
Crust
1 box chocolate fudge cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Filling
1 bag (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
Topping
1/2 cup reserved cake mix
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1. Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Reserve 1/2 cup cake mix for topping. In large bowl, beat remaining cake mix, 1/2 cup butter and the eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until set.
2. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat caramels, 1/4 cup butter and the milk over medium heat about 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.
3. Spread caramel filling evenly over partially baked crust. In small bowl, mix reserved 1/2 cup cake mix, the oats and 3 tablespoons butter with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over caramel filling.
4. Bake 18 to 22 minutes longer or until top is set. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen bars. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.
Just found it ... so I have yet to try it.

Wed Feb 24, 2010 4:02 pm Post subject: Oscar Menus |
|
T he big story for the 2010 Oscars is that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has expanded the Best Picture category from recent years' five to ten nominees. That may make it harder to zero in on a favorite, but we're excited because each year we create menus inspired by the nominees, so ten films means ten delicious meals to share with family and friends. This year's Oscar picks represent a diverse group, making for a wide range of dining options. To celebrate the football-focused movie The Blind Side, we chose a Southern-influenced tailgating feast complete with ribs, potato salad, and pimento cheese. For Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, we let the film's French setting inspire most of our recipe selections, but for dessert, the obvious choice was strudel. And in honor of the blue-hued Na'vi that populate Pandora in James Cameron's groundbreaking Avatar, we built a meal around "blue" foods, including blueberries, blue cheese, and Cool Blue Martinis. For the rest of the menu details, read on. And to get tips on hosting your own Academy Awards party, see our complete Oscars guide.

With all this hot weather, I think I've been drinking more water than ever in my life. The doctors say 6-8 glasses. I think I may have been doubling it.
But sometimes water isn't enough. So my liquid treat of choice has been cranberry iced tea. The recipe is simplicity itself:
1/2 cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 black tea (currently, decaf earl grey)
Ice if you need it.
Yum. It doesn't take any extra sugar, and I'm supposed to be drinking a cup of cranberry juice every day anyway.
I have also been known to add cranberry juice to my (non-alcholic) lager. Maybe not everyone's thing, but I like it.

ROADKILL CHICKEN
Posted by: "Esla" e1enid2s3@yahoo.com e1enid2s3
Sun Jul 25, 2010 1:40 pm (PDT)
This recipe, such as it is, is an accommodation to the fact that, although chickens are more or less round, barbecue grills are more or less flat. You'll need one large chicken and one small to medium steam roller. Or alternatively, you might just cut through the bird's breast bone (It's easy: insert a serrated bread or carving knife completely through the cavity of the bird and pull it up through the breast bone.) and splay it flat -- whatever, just so long as it can be got cozily into a more or less single layer in a skillet. This latter will necessarily be rather large. I use a 12-inch black iron skillet (If yours isn't black already, it assuredly will be by the time we're done with it.), which accommodates the (spread-eagled? ) chicken; and as my grill is one of those small, round, amateur affairs, I hack-sawed a little opening in the lid to accommodate the handle of the skillet.
So, gentlemen (and you, too, gentleladies) , start your fires; and soak a few wood chips. (How nice that, around here at least, hickory chips grow on trees.)
Now run back into the kitchen, put that big skillet on the stove and sauté some garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme in about a cup of olive oil.
Pour this over the chicken, which you will have already split, skinned, washed, and dried; and rub it all over that lucky, lubricious bird.
After this ritual ablution and unction, it's back to the grill, which by now has has settled down to a fierce but steady heat. Throw the chips on the fire and the chicken on the grill to be quickly seared on both sides.
In this short meantime, run back to the kitchen, turn up the heat under the skillet and add some more of the fresh herbs and enough carrot strips, onion eighths, coarsely chopped fennel root and whole garlic cloves to fill the bottom of the skillet. Saute these for as long as you dare (And don't get so lathered about this that you forget about the chicken hissing on the grill!), and then deglaze the pan with a cup or so of white wine and some chicken stock or gelée. (If at this point you also add a couple of whole Belgian endives or split leeks, you will be in for a special treat.)
Then take the skillet out to the grill, put the seared chicken on top of the vegetables, and drape the green fennel tops over the whole assembly. Place this on the grill, clamp the lid down tight, and take a few deep and well-deserved breaths. Now you have only to baste the bird from time to time during the forty minutes or so that it takes to finish cooking, being careful as always to not let the pan dry out.
Once the bird is done, pluck off the fennel tops (Save them and the other vegetables for the stock pot!), strain the remaining liquid, separate the fat, and reduce that in a saucepan with a dollop of butter, some marsala, perhaps, and some green onion tops. Then slice the bird, sauce it, and serve it forth!
This method also works well with pork chops which, felicitously, need be neither split nor splat.

Bacon and Blueberry Salad
Servings: 4
Salad Ingredients:
1 package of Sugardale Peppered Bacon
2 packages (approx. 12-16 ounces) baby spinach
1/3 pound piece of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 cup pecan pieces
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1/2 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
Smoked Chipotle Vinaigrette Dressing Ingredients:
3/4 Cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 Cup White Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons smoked chipotle jam/jelly
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
The juice of 1/2 a fresh lime
Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375º on convection setting if possible
2. Layout package of Sugardale Peppered Bacon on one or two cookie sheets; do not overlap pieces of bacon
3. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes (cooking times will vary depending on your oven
4. When bacon is cooked to crisp but not burnt, remove from oven and place on plates lined with paper towels to drain excess grease
5. Use a vegetable peeler to shave pieces of parmesan cheese into a small bowl and transfer to refrigerator until ready to assemble salads
6. Rinse blueberries in a colander, picking out any smashed or uneatable blueberries and any stems, set aside to drain
7. Rinse red bell pepper, remove stem and core, slice into short, thin julienne slices, approximately 1/4 inch each
8. Rinse red onion, remove skin and outermost layer, slice in half then thinly slice one half of red onion, as thin as possible
9. Divide baby spinach into equal potions onto four dinner plates
10. Lay out several pieces (8 to 10) of sliced onion onto each salad, spread around evenly on bed of spinach
11. Lay out bell pepper slices (8 to 10) onto each salad, spread around evenly on bed of spinach
12. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of pecan pieces evenly onto salad base
13. Add approximately 1/4 cup of blueberries, spread evenly around salad base
14. Dived shaved parmesan evenly onto the four salad bases, spreading shaved parmesan pieces evenly out onto each salad
15. Lay cooked bacon pieces on top of salad bases, crisscrossed or in another decorative manner
16. Drizzle with 2-3 ounces of Smoked Chipotle Vinaigrette Dressing onto each salad and serve immediately
Note: Complete vegetable and cheese preparation and make dressing in advance, up to one hour before serving. Allow dressing to sit out at room temp and assemble salads while bacon is cooking so as to be able to serve salad topped with warm bacon.
Dressing Preparation:
Combine salad dressing ingredients, except for salt and pepper, in a mixing bowl and thoroughly whisk until sugar and jam is completely dissolved and dressing isn’t separating. Add salt and pepper, a little at a time, to suit your personal taste.
Dressing Note: If dressing is made in advance, whisk thoroughly again before drizzling over salad. Excess dressing can be stored in refrigerator for future salads. Dressing will be best if allowed to sit at room temperature for approximately 30-60 minutes before serving.

Frozen Butterbeer for the Deathly Hallows Premiere
Butterbeer, for those who don’t know, is a favorite drink of young witches and wizards. While there’s enough alcohol in it to make a house elf drunk, there’s not enough to do the same to humans. The butterbeer at Wizarding World was not made with alcohol, for obvious reasons. Also, it was taste-tested by J.K. Rowling herself. Pretty cool, right? This butterbeer tastes very much like a cream soda, with notes of butterscotch in the background. Like the kind at Wizarding World, it has a slightly slushy texture. However, the really fun part about it is the foamy topping. The frozen butterbeer at Wizarding World comes from a tap, with a separate tap dispensing the foamy topping. Having a butterbeer mustache is something to be proud of, so skip the straws when drinking this drink.
Frozen Butterbeer
Ingredients:
For the butterbeer:
1 1/2 cups cream soda
6 tablespoons butterscotch schnapps
2 cups ice
For the foamy topping:
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon butterscotch schnapps
Directions:
Combine cream soda, schnapps and ice in a blender. Blend until slushy. Pour into a glass or mug. In a small bowl, combine heavy cream and schnapps. Using an electric mixer, whisk together until almost whipped. You want the cream mixture to be slightly loose, not as firm as whipped cream. Top the butterbeer with the foamy topping and serve immediately.
Serves 2

Treacle Tart
Serve 4
Ingredients:
100g/4oz Wholemeal Flour
50g/2oz Self-Raising Flour
A pinch of Salt
75g/3oz Butter
Water to bind
120ml/4 fl.oz. Golden Syrup [what is it?]
75g/3oz Fresh Brown Breadcrumbs
Grated zest of 1/2 Lemon
50g/2oz Toasted Hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
1. Sift the flours with the salt into a mixing bowl. Tip the residue of bran left in the sieve into the bowl and stir lightly to mix.
2. Cut the butter into the flour with a palette knife, then rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually stir in just enough water to bind the mixture together. Knead briefly until smooth. Wrap in cling film and leave to relax in the bottom of the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas mark 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry and line an 18cm/7 inch flan tin, reserving the trimmings.
4. Place syrup into a saucepan and heat gently. Stir in the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and chopped nuts.
5. Spread the syrup mixture evenly over the base of the pastry case. Roll out the pastry trimmings thinly and cut into long, narrow strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice over the filling. Trim off any overhanging pastry, then lightly brush the strips with the beaten egg or milk.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is cooked and the filling a rich dark brown.

Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:10 pm Post subject: One More Butter Beer Recipe |
|
The woman who posted this recipe was at the Opening of the WWoHP as she calls it, in Florida. She loved the drink. Here is her accounting of it and photo.
It seems to be the Harry Potter food that most people want to try more than any other! Fortunately, now you can, of course, at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And the best part about it, is that you know it's the right stuff, because Jo Rowling herself taste approved it!
Homemade Butterbeer
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
FOR THE BUTTERBEER
6 12-ounce bottles cream soda [I prefer IBC (which is vegan) or Polar Classics Vanilla, but any will work perfectly]
3 teaspoons butter extract
FOR THE FOAM (Vegan/Dairy-free recipe linked above)
2 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons butter extract
To make the butterbeer: Set out 6 16-ounce glasses. Place 1/2 teaspoon of butter extract in each glass. Pour 12 ounces of butterbeer into each glass. Lightly stir, if necessary.
To make the foam: In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and continue whipping until very soft peaks begin to form, another 3-4 minutes (if you need to whip more or less, then be sure to do so, the times can vary quite a bit based on environment). Stir in the vanilla and butter extracts, then whip for another 30 seconds or so, until soft peaks form.
Spoon a generous portion of foam on top of each glass of butterbeer. Serve immediately.

She got to keep the mug too!!!
