From the kitchen of Molly Malone Pub in Winterthur, Switzerland

For a springform pan 11 inches (28 cm) in diameter, greased, lined with baking
paper
Total time: approx. 1 hr. 15 min

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 1/8 cups (250 g) butter
  * 1 cup (2.5 dl) Guinness stout beer
  * 3/4 cup (80 g) cocoa powder
  * 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  * 3/4 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 tsp vanilla sugar)
  * 2 eggs
  * 2/3 cup (1.4 dl) buttermilk

  * 2 1/2 cups (300 g) powdered sugar, sieved
  * 1/2 cup (125 g) cream cheese

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cake batter:

   1. Put the butter in a saucepan large enough to hold all ingredients,
      melt over a medium heat, add the beer, cocoa, sugar and vanilla
      (or vanilla sugar), mix. Remove from heat,
   2. Mix the eggs and buttermilk together and mix with the beer
      mixture. 
   3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir into the
      beer mixture. 
   4. Pour into the prepared springform pan.
   5. Bake at 320°F (160°C) convection oven for approx. 50 minutes or
      350°F (175°C) in regular oven for approx. 60 minutes.
   6. Test with a skewer and leave to cool.

Frosting:

   1. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup butter and powdered sugar with a hand
      mixer until fine crumbs form. 
   2. Add the cream cheese and continue to mix until the mixture is
      light and fluffy.
   3. Spread over the cooled cake.

Shelf life: Store well wrapped, without icing and in the fridge for 3
days. Frozen for 2 months.
Tip: When cutting, dip the knife briefly in warm water after each cut so
that the “beer foam” (icing) remains white.

This cauliflower crust is tasty, healthy and gluten-free! It's a delicious way
to enjoy pizza night when a traditional pizza crust isn't an option. —Francine
Lizotte, Langley, British Columbia
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 40 min
Yield: 6 servings
Nutrition Facts
1 piece: 94 calories, 6g fat (2g saturated fat), 40mg cholesterol, 172mg sodium,
5g carbohydrate (2g sugars, 2g fiber), 6g protein.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3-1/2 cups fresh cauliflowerets
  * 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  * 2 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
  * 1/4 cup almond flour
  * 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  * 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  * 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  * 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a food processor, pulse cauliflower
      until it resembles rice (do not overprocess). Spread cauliflower
      on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, rotating
      halfway, until lightly browned and tender. Cool on a wire rack for
      at least 10 minutes.
   2. Place cauliflower on a clean towel; roll up and squeeze to remove
      excess liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in remaining
      ingredients.
   3. On a parchment-lined 12-in. pizza pan, spread mixture to
      1/4-in.-thickness, forming about a 10-inch circle. Bake until dry
      and golden brown, 22-25 minutes. Gently loosen crust from
      parchment. Place another 12-in. pizza pan over top of crust and
      flip over; peel off parchment. Slide crust back onto original
      pizza pan. Bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 5
      minutes longer.
   4. Top as desired; bake until toppings are heated through, 8-10
      minutes longer.

From the kitchen of <a href="https://carlsbadcravings.com/lemon-rice/" title="Try out the earthli WebCore!">Carlsbad Cravings</a>

Lemon Rice infused with bright, fresh lemon and zippy dill and the option of
butter and feta for an easy, tantalizing side you will want to serve with
everything!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tablespoons olive oil
  * 1/2 chopped onion
  * 1 1/2 cups basmati rice well rinsed and drained*
  * 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  * 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  * 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  * 1/2 cup water
  * 1/4 cup lemon juice
  * 3/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  * 1 TBS EACH fresh dill, parsley OR 1 teaspoon EACH dried
  * 1/4 tsp EACH pepper, dried oregano, ground cumin

ADD LATER (optional)

  * 1-2 tablespoons butter or more to taste
  * 1/4 cup feta
  * lemon juice to taste

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Sauté onions: Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan (with a lid)
      over medium high heat. Sauté onions until soft, approximately 5
      minutes.
   2. Sauté rice: Add rice, garlic and lemon zest and sauté for one
      additional minute. Stir in chicken broth, water, lemon juice and
      all seasonings.
   3. Simmer: Bring to a boil then reduce heat to LOW, cover, and cook
      12-15 minutes, or just until water is evaporated and rice is
      tender, stirring once at 8 minutes and replacing lid. If your
      liquid is evaporated but your rice is still quite undercooked
      (keeping in mind it will steam for 10 minutes once removed from
      heat), then add a little additional liquid and continue to cook.
   4. Let rest: Once water is evaporated, remove from heat, stir, cover
      and let sit 10 minutes.
   5. Add lemon: Taste and add 1-2 tablespoons additional lemon if
      desired (I add one tablespoon). Season with additional salt and
      pepper to taste.
   6. Optional: stir in 1-2 tablespoons butter or more to taste. You can
      stir feta into entire rice pot or add it to individual servings.

Notes:
You can also use brown rice and adjust the amount of water/broth and
cook according to brown rice directions.

This luxurious, fan-favorite Red Lentil Curry will get you truly excited about
lentils! It’s an ultra-creamy and gourmet Indian-inspired meal made in one pot
with pantry staples. Whip it up on a weeknight in 45 minutes!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 tablespoon refined or virgin coconut oil, or a neutral-flavored
    oil
  * 4 cloves garlic, minced
  * 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced or grated
  * 1 tablespoon minced fresh turmeric, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  * 1-2 serrano peppers, diced (see recipe note below on spice level)
  * 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  * 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  * 1/2 teaspoon Indian red chili powder (if you only have regular chili
    powder, which is a blend, use 1 teaspoon)
  * 2 teaspoons curry powder
  * 1 teaspoon garam masala
  * Kosher salt or sea salt to taste (I use about 1 tsp kosher salt, and
    add more at the end)
  * Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  * 1 cup (180-190g) red lentils, or split red lentils (the split
    variety will cook a bit quicker)
  * 2 cups (480 mL) low-sodium vegetable broth
  * 1 (14-ounce / 400g) can crushed tomatoes (or half of a 28-ounce can)
  * 1 (13.5-ounce/400 mL) can full-fat coconut milk
  * 3 tablespoons unsweetened creamy almond butter
  * 1/2 a small lemon, juiced
  * 1/2 cup (~8g) fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  * For serving: Basmati or Jasmine rice and Indian flatbread such as
    roti, paratha, or naan

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Rinse the lentils in cold water until the water runs clear.
   2. Heat a large, deep skillet or large saucepan over medium-high heat
      and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the
      garlic, ginger, fresh turmeric (if using), and Serrano pepper and
      cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent garlic from
      burning.
   3. Add the cumin, coriander, chili powder, curry powder, garam
      masala, salt, and black pepper to taste, and cook for 30 to 60
      seconds until fragrant, tossing frequently to prevent burning. If
      using ground turmeric instead of fresh turmeric, add the ground
      turmeric now, along the the rest of the spices.
   4. Pour in the vegetable broth, and use a wooden spoon or spatula to
      scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add in the
      lentils and the crushed tomatoes and mix well. Reduce the heat to
      low and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or
      until the lentils are cooked through and have mostly softened. If
      you find that the lentils are not quite soft after 25 minutes, add
      a few spoons more of broth or water and cook for another 5
      minutes.
   5. Remove the lid and stir in the coconut milk, almond butter, along
      with salt and pepper to taste Continue cooking on low heat,
      uncovered for 5 to 8 minutes, until the curry has thickened and is
      creamy.
   6. Finally, stir in the lemon juice and cilantro, and turn off the
      heat. If you want your lentils to even creamier and more on the
      puréed side, use an immersion blender to lightly purée the
      curry.
   7. Serve the curry with rice and/or Indian flatbread and garnish with
      additional cilantro. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.

*Kath's notes:

   1. I almost always make a double-batch of these lentils, but I don't
      double to coconut milk since I like a somewhat thicker
      consistency.
   2. I can't usually find the Serrano peppers. I did find ground spicy
      red pepper that I use in place of the fresh peppers.
   3. I also almost never have almond butter on hand and just omit it.
   4. If I have fresh baby spinach on hand, I usually throw some in
      after adding the coconut milk.

Corn Dog Mini Muffins Recipe
Slightly adapted from Iowa Girl Eats, makes 48 muffins

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1/2 cup melted butter
  * 1/2 cup sugar
  * 2 large eggs
  * 1 cup buttermilk
  * 1 cup corn meal
  * 1 cup all purpose flour
  * 1/2 tsp baking soda
  * 1/2 tsp salt
  * 1 pound Lit'l Smokies, cut into 1 inch pieces

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
   2. Spray the cavities of two 24 cavity mini muffin pans with spray
      oil, or line the cavities with cupcake liners. 
   3. In a medium bowl, whisk the butter and sugar together until well
      combined. 
   4. Add the eggs to the butter mixture and whisk. Whisk in the
      buttermilk. 
   5. In a small to medium bowl, whisk together the corn flour, all
      purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. 
   6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two batches,
      stirring to combine between each addition. 
   7. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop or a tablespoon, divide the batter
      among the 48 cavities in the pans. If you use cupcake liners,
      spray each one lightly with spray oil, one at a time, just prior
      to adding the batter. 
   8. Push the 1 inch pieces of the Lit'l Smokies into the batter so
      that it stands straight up.
   9. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until they are set and slightly golden
      on the edges. 
   10. Cool the muffins in the pan for five minutes before serving.
       Leftovers should be refrigerated and then reheated in the
       microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.

From the kitchen of Bottom of the Pot

Northern Iranian Style

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 lb shelled walnuts
  * 1 cup pomegranate  molasses (sour)
  * 1/2 tsp turmeric
  * salt
  * 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  * 3/4 golpar (persian hogweed) or ground dried rose petals
  * 3 1/2-4 lbs skinless boneless chicken pieces
  * ground black pepper

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Place walnuts in a food processor and grind to a paste. Transfer
      the paste to a medium bowl and cover with 3 cups cold water. Stir
      well to combine and set aside.
   2. Place the pomegranate molasses, turmeric and 2 tsp salt in a large
      pot or dutch oven over medium heat and stir to combine. Keep a
      very close eye on it. As soon as the pomegranate molasses starts
      to bubble (this will happen quickly, you dont want to burn and
      turn bitter) and comes to a simmer, add the walnut-water mixture.
      Stir, bring to a gentle boil and keep at a rapid simmer for 5
      minutes, until all the ingredients have combined. 
   3. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer to sauce for 2-3 hours. Add
      about 1/4 cup cold water every 40 minutes or so. You will know its
      time to add more water as the sauce thickens and the walnut oil
      rises to the top. Skim off any oils and stir once in a while
      making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot. The
      color of the sauce will start turning from a pale beige to a rich,
      chocolate brown throughout the process. 
   4. While the sauce simmers prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken
      thighs in hale and the breasts into 4 pieces. Season really well w
      salt and pepper. Set aside. 
   5. Once the sauce is ready add the cinnamon and golpar or rose petals
      and pepper to taste. Taste and make adjustments. Maybe a little
      more pomegranate juice? Hold off on adding more salt bc the
      chicken will be seasoned w salt. Add the chicken to the sauce,
      bring the heat up to medium and bring to a gentle boil. 
   6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, sitrring
      occasionally, for 45 minutes to 1 hours, until the chicken is
      cooked through and all the flavors have shared their lifelong
      secrets. 
   7. As the stew simmers, taste for additional salt, pepper and
      pomegranate molasses. The chicken will release a fair amount of
      juice, thinning out the sauce, but it will thicken if it sits off
      the heat for a little bit before serving. Alternatively, you can
      remove the chicken and reduce the sauce to teh desired
      consistency.

Biscotti.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 1/2 cup whole hazelnuts (6 oz)
  * 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped (90% chocolate bar)
  * 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  * 2 cups all-purpose flour (1 3/4 ap flour plus 1/4 almond flour)
  * 1 cup sugar
  * 2 tsp baking powder
  * 1/4 tsp salt
  * 3 large eggs
  * 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  * 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Position racks to divide oven into thirds. Heat oven to 350 F.
      Have ready two baking sheets.
   2. Spread hazelnuts on baking sheet and bake 8 minutes until lightly
      toasted. Cool, then coarsely chop.
   3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt unsweetened chocolate and
      butter. Stir until smooth. Let cool. 
   4. In food processer process flour, sugar, baking powder and salt
      until blended. Add eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate mixture.
      Process until just blended. Kneed dough on work surface until
      shiny, then kneed in nuts, flouring hands as necessary. Divide
      dough into quarters, wrap each in wax paper and refrigerate for
      one hour. 
   5. Roll each portion into a nine inch log. Place two logs at least
      two inches apart on each ungreased baking sheet. With fingers,
      gently press on logs until each is about 1 1/2 inches wide. 
   6. Bake 25 minutes, switching position of pans halfway through baking
      until strips are partially set, but not firm. With a spatula, very
      carefully transfer strips into a wire rack and cool 10 minutes (no
      less, or they will crumble). Transfer strips to a cutting board,
      and with a sharp serrated knife, using a a sawing motion, cut each
      cross wise into 1 1/2 inch slices. Place slices cut side down, and
      bake 8 minutes, or until firm. Transfer to wire rack and cool. 
   7. In a small saucepan, melt half the bittersweet chocolate over low
      heat. remove from heat, add remaining chocolate, and stir until
      smooth. Scrap into a shallow bowl. Dip top half of each cookie
      into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Stand cookies, chocolate
      side up until set.

      and place about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. 
   5. Bake 8 minutes or until slightly firm.*
   6. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to
      cool completely.

   9. In a large bowl, beat powdered egg white (or liquid), water,
      sugar, and lemon juice with mixer on high speed 8 minutes or until
      stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted, adding sugar if needed.
      Beat in food dye. Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days.
   10. Spoon icing into pastry bag; decorate cookies as desired. Let
       stand until icing sets.

From the kitchen of New York Times

Sour stew with chicken, pomegranates and walnuts.
Approx 6-8 servings

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 pounds (6 to 8 pieces) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    and thighs
  * Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  * 1 mandarin orange 
  * 2 tablespoons olive oil
  * 4 cups shelled walnuts (about 1 pound)
  * 1 medium onion, finely diced
  * 2 cups pomegranate molasses, or as needed
  * ½ cup grated butternut squash
  * ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  * ¼ teaspoon saffron, dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
  * 1 to 2 cups chicken broth or water
  * 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
  * Persian steamed white rice, for serving.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

My way: Toast walnuts in the bottom on the dutch oven. Set aside. Put
walnuts in blender and add broth to puree. In the same Dutch oven, heat
oil, brown chicken and set aside. In same dutch over, saute onions for
8-10  min.  add walnuts and broth, simmer. 

Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly season chicken with salt and pepper,
and sauté in olive oil until lightly golden. Remove from heat and set
aside.
Spread walnuts on a baking sheet, and bake until toasted, about 5
minutes. Once cool to the touch, rub walnut pieces between your palms to
shed excess skin. Pulse in a food processor until finely chopped but not
pasty. Transfer to a Dutch oven, and add onion and 2 cups water. Place
over medium-low heat and simmer, partly covered, stirring it
occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add 2 cups pomegranate molasses, sautéed
chicken, squash, cinnamon, saffron mixture and 1 cup chicken broth or
water.
Adjust flavor with sugar, salt and pomegranate molasses, so it is tangy
but also a bit sweet. Simmer gently, covered, until the sauce is a dark
walnut color with a layer of oil on the surface, 35 to 40 minutes. If
the pan looks dry, add additional broth or water as needed. Adjust
flavors again, and stir so the walnut oil is well mixed.
Bring the mixture to another gentle boil with the lid ajar, then
continue to simmer on low heat until the sauce has thickened and the
chicken is cooked through, 10 to 20 minutes. Make a final taste test,
and adjust flavors to your liking.
To serve, stir so that the walnut oil is evenly absorbed. Serve hot with
Persian steamed white rice.

To serve
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Dried pappardelle, tagliatelle, linguine, or spaghetti
Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. In a large pot set over medium heat, add the butter and the oil
      and stir until the butter is melted. Add the onion, carrot,
      celery, garlic, and half of the salt (½ tsp/2 ml) and sauté for
      5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft. Add the
      diced pancetta and cook for a further 10 minutes, until the
      pancetta is golden and crisp.
   2. Add a third of the ground meat, stirring and breaking lumps with a
      wooden spoon between each addition. Adding the meat gradually
      allows the excess water and liquid to evaporate, which is key for
      the meat to caramelize properly. Once the meat is cooked, add a
      third more of the meat, stirring and breaking lumps as you go.
      Repeat with the remaining meat. When the meat is cooked and no
      lumps remain, set a timer to 10 minutes and keep cooking the meat,
      stirring from time to time. You want the meat to caramelize and
      even become crispy in spots. Golden bits of meat will stick to the
      bottom of the pot, which you will deglaze with white wine later.
      Watch over the pan at all times as you don’t want the meat to
      burn.
   3. Add the white wine into the sauce pan. With a wooden spoon, scrape
      all the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Push the meat
      all around to make sure you scrape it all off. By the time
      you’re finished, the wine will be evaporated (2 to 3 minutes).
      Be careful not to let the meat stick to the pot again—lower the
      heat if necessary.
   4. Add the milk, tomatoes, beef broth, remaining salt (1/2 tsp/2 ml)
      and a generous grinding of black pepper. Bring to a boil and then
      lower to the lowest heat setting. Half-cover and simmer gently for
      2.5 to 3 hours, setting yourself a timer to give the sauce a stir
      every half hour. Start monitoring the texture of the sauce after 2
      hours: the sauce is ready when it’s thick like oatmeal. It
      should look rich and creamy, and no liquid should separate from
      the sauce when you push the sauce to one side. Taste and adjust
      the seasoning if needed.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4

*Recipe Notes
This is a great make-ahead meal and can keep in the fridge for up to week.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 tablespoon olive or coconut oil
  * 1 small red onion, diced
  * 2 garlic cloves, minced
  * 1- inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  * 1 serrano chili pepper, seeded and minced
  * 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  * 1 teaspoon garam masala
  * ¼ teaspoon coriander
  * One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
  * 1 teaspoon sea salt
  * One 15-ounce can unsweetened full fat coconut milk
  * 1 cup red lentils
  * 5 ounces baby spinach

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil.
   2. Saute the onion over medium-high heat until soft, 5 minutes.
   3. Add the garlic, ginger, serrano, cumin, garam masala, and
      coriander. Cook until very fragrant, 2 minutes.
   4. Carefully pour in the tomatoes and add the salt, scraping up any
      brown bits that formed on the bottom of the pan.

      tomato chunks have softened, 5 minutes.
   6. Add the coconut milk and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over high
      heat.
   7. Stir in the lentils and reduce the heat to medium-low.

From the kitchen of <a href="https://www.bettybossi.ch/de/Rezept/ShowRezept/BB_BBZD110415_0022B-40-de">Betty Bossi</a>

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * butter [1] for sautéing

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

  * 1 lb elbow macaroni
  * boiling salted water

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

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


[1] The original recipe calls for clarified butter because you can heat
    it to a higher temperature. Regular butter is OK, though.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Cook the meat first
     * Heat butter in pan.
     * Divide ground beef into a few smaller portions.
     * Sauté the smaller portions individually for about 3 minutes
       each.
     * Remove from pan before adding next portion.
     * Set aside.
   2. Add vegetables
     * Add onion, carrot and celery to pan and saute briefly.
     * Add wine and bring to a boil.
     * Add beef bouillon, tomato paste, paprika, bay leaf and sautéd
       ground beef to pan.
     * Cover pan and simmer for about 30 minutes.
     * Add thyme, salt and pepper, to taste.
   3. Cook elbows until al dente in salted boiling water, drain. 
   4. Serve in pasta bowls and top with the meat sauce. 
   5. Serve with grated cheese and applesauce.

From the kitchen of World Vegetarian Classics by Celia Brooks Brown

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 4 tbsp melted butter (or I used coconut oil)
  * 2 cups blue cornmeal
  * 2 tbsp caster sugar
  * 2 tsp baking powder
  * 1/2 tsp sea salt
  * 3/4 - 1 cup milk
  * 2 eggs
  * 1 1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Mix blue cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
   2. In another bowl mix the eggs, milk and cooled melted butter. 
   3. Add dry mix to wet mix.
   4. Fold in blueberries.
   5. Cook the pancakes (I used a lower heat (3) and cooked longer).
      Smaller sizes work better 3" or so. I found they were best left
      undisturbed for a good 3-4 minutes on the first side before
      flipping.

From the kitchen of NYTimes Cooking

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 lbs skinless boneless chicken breast
  * salt and pepper
  * 2 tbsp olive oil
  * 4 cups shelled walnets (about 1 lbs)
  * 1 medium onion, finely diced
  * 2 cups pomegranate molasses (I use 1 cup)
  * 1/2 cup butternut squash (or sweet potato)
  * 1/4 tsp cinnamom
  * 1/4 tsp saffron, dissolved in 2 tbsp hot water
  * 1-2 cups chicken broth
  * 2 tbsp sugar or to tastse
  * 1 small clementine/tangerine/orange (This is recommended by a
    reader)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Toast your walnuts in the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Remove
      from pan and set aside to cool. Once cooled, pulse in a food
      processor until very fine. I go almost to a paste like
      consistency. 
   2. In the same pot, heat the oil and brown the chicken (season with
      salt and pepper). Remove from pan and set aside. 
   3. Add a little more oil, saute onions til soft. Then add 2 cups of
      water, the ground walnuts and simmer over medium low heat for 20
      minutes. 
   4. Add 1 cup of pomegranate molasses, sauteed chicken, cinnamon,
      squash, saffron and 1 cup of chicken broth or water. 
   5. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer gently, covered, until
      sauce is dark walnut color with a layer of oil on the surface.
      THIS IS IMPORTANT TO SEE.  May take 35-45 minutes. If it lookd
      dry, add broth. Taste and adjust flavors adding more sugar, salt
      or pomegranate molasses.  Stir oil back into the mix. 
   6. Continue to simmer on low heat until sauce is thick and chicken is
      cooked (10-20 min).
   7. Take a final taste test and adjust to your liking. 
   8. Stir oil back in and serve over basmati rice with tahdig.

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

From the kitchen of The Blue Zones Solution

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tablespoons of corn, canola or vegetables oil.
  * 1 small minced yellow or white onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
  * 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  * 2 cups drained and rinsed canned black beans or drained and rinsed
    cooked black beans*
  * 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, such as white basmati, cooked and
    drained without salt but according to the package directions (about
    3 cups cooked rice)
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  * 2 tablespoons fresh packed cilantro leaves, chopped
  * Up to 2 teaspoons minced and seeded habanero chili, optional
  * 
  * *Basic Cooked Beans
  * 1 pound dried pinto, black, red kidney, great northern, cannellini,
    or cranberry beans
  * 1 large yellow or white onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  * 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  * 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 
  * 1. Spread the beans on a large baking sheet and discard any that are
    discolored or broken. Set the beans in a large bowl and add enough
    cool water so submerged by 2 inches. Soakat room temp for at least 8
    hours, but no more than 16 hours.
  * 2. Drain the beans in a colander set in the sink. Pour them into a
    4-to 6-quart slow cooker; add the onion, garlic, and thyme. Stir in
    5 cups of water. 
  * 3. Cover and cook until the beans are tender, about 5 hours on high
    or 9 to 10 hours on low.
  * 4. Stir in the salt, cover, and cook for 10 more minutes. Uncover
    and let the beans cool, storing them with their cooking liquid in
    small, sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in
    the freezer for up to 4 months.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Warm the oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion
      and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the
      garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
   2. Pour in the beans and 1 cup of water. Raise the heat to a
      medium-high and bring to a full simmer, stirring gently to keep
      the beans intact. Gently stir in the rice, salt, and pepper until
      combined and hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro and habanero,
      if desired, before serving.
   3. TIP: Habanero chilies are incendiary devices. If you're not used
      to working with them, use only the smallest amount. You can always
      add more when you make this again. Never touch hands to your eyes
      or other sensitive bits until you've rubbed them thoroughly with
      oil and washed them with hot, soapy, water.

From the kitchen of The Blue Zones Solution

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1/2 cup dried peeled fava beans
  * 1/2 cup dried cranberry beans
  * 1/3 cup dried chickpeas
  * 7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  * 1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  * 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped (about 2/3 cup)
  * 2 medium celery stalks, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  * 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  * 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes ( about 3 1/2 cups)
  * 3 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  * 1 1/2 cups chopped fennel
  * 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves,
    chopped
  * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  * 2/3 cup of Sardinian fregula, isreal couscous, or acini si pepe
    pasta
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  * 1/4 cup finely grated pecorino Romano (about 2 ounces)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Soak fava beans, cranberry beans, and chickpeas in a large bowl of
      water for at least 8 hours or up to 16 hours (that is, overnight).
      Drain in a colander set in the sink, Rinse well.
   2. Warm 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch
      oven set over medium-heat, Add the onion, carrots, and celery;
      cook, stirring often, until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
      Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
   3. Stir in the tomatoes, potatoes, fennel, parsley,and basil, as well
      as the drained beans and chickpeas. Add enough water (6 to 8 cups)
      so that everything is submerged by 1 inch.
   4. Raise the heat to high and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat
      to low and simmer slowly, uncovered, until beans are tender,
      adding more water as necessary if mixture gets too thick, about 1
      1/2 hours.
   5. Stir in the pasta, salt, and pepper, Add up to 2 cups of water if
      the soup seems too dry. Continue simmering, uncovered, until pasta
      is tender, about 10 minutes.
   6. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into each of four serving bowls.
      Divide the soup among them and top each with 1 tablespoon grated
      cheese.
   7. TIP: You can vary the beans in the minestrone: pinto beans make a
      very good substitute for the cranberry beans; great northern beans
      or cannellini beans, for the favas.
   8. TIP: Use the stalks and fronds that come off the fennel bulb for
      the most intense flavor. No feathery fronds on the bulb? Add a
      teaspoon of fennel seeds to the aromatic vegetables you saute to
      begin the dish.
   9. TIP: Add other fresh vegetables from garden or market, such as
      zucchini, cabbage, green beans, and cauliflower or broccoli
      florets.
   10. TIP: Want a stronger tomato taste? Stir in 2 tablespoons of
       tomato paste.

From the kitchen of The Blue Zones Solution

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 cups dried black-eyed peas
  * 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  * 1 large yellow or white onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  * 1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, halved and sliced into thin strips
  * 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  * 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
  * 1 large red globe, beefsteak or heirloom tomato, diced (about 3/4
    cup)
  * 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  * 2 bay leaves
  * 1 teaspoon salt
  * 4 large kale leaves, slivered
  * 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Spread the black-eyed peas on a large baking sheet and pick over
      to remove any damaged peas or debris. Put the peas in a large pot,
      add enough cool tap water to submerge by 2 inches, and bring to a
      boil over high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Set aside off heat and
      soak for 1 hour. Drain in a colander and set in a sink.
   2. Warm 1/4 cup oil in a large pot or Dutch oven set over a medium
      heat. Add the onion and fennel; cook, stirring often, until soft,
      about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20
      seconds. Stir in black eyed peas, carrots, tomato, tomato paste,
      bay leaves, and salt until the tomato paste dissolves. Add enough
      water to cover the vegetables. Raise the heat to medium-high and
      bring to a boil.
   3. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer slowly until the
      black-eyed peas are tender (not rocklike but not mush), about 50
      minutes.
   4. Stir in the kale leaves and dill, Cover and cook until kale is
      tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Ladle into 4
      bowls. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on top of each helping.
   5. TIP: For a quicker meal, substitute 4 cups frozen black-eyed peas,
      thawed, or 4 cups drained and rinsed canned black-eyed peas-and
      skip step 1. Simmer in the stew in step 3 for only 25 minutes to
      blend flavors and cook fennel. Complete step 4 as directed.
   6. TIP: When working with high-acid foods like tomatoes or vinegar,
      always cook in nonreactive cookware, such as stainless steel,
      anondized aluminum, or enameled cast-iron pans, pots, and
      skillets.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas
  * 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
  * 2 medium yellow or white onions, halved and sliced into thin
    half-moons
  * 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
  * 1/2 tablespoon ground dried turmeric
  * 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  * 2 large red globe, beefsteak, or heirloom tomatoes, chopped (about 1
    1/2 cups)
  * 6 fresh mint leaves, torn up
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  * Vegetable broth, as needed
  * 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Set the chickpeas in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak for
      at least 8 hours or up to 16 hours (that is, overnight). drain in
      a colander set in the sink, then pour into a large saucepan. Add
      enough water so that they're submerged by 2 inches, then bring to
      a boil over high heat. cover and reduce the heat to a medium-low.
      simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain again in that
      colander.
   2. Warm the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat.
      add the onions and cook, stirring often, until limp, but not
      brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained chickpeas, mint
      leaves, salt and pepper.
   3. Bring to a simmer; then reduce the heat to a medium low and cook,
      stirring often, until the tomatoes have broken down in a sauce,
      about 12 minutes. if the mixture begins to dry out, add Vegetable
      broth in 2 tablespoon increments to keep it moist. Stir in the
      lemon juice and serve.
   4. TIP: Skip soaking and cooking the chickpeas; substitute 2
      (15-ounce) cans, drained and rinsed. Add the chickpeas at the end
      of step 2.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * salt
  * 3 pounds fresh spinach, trimmed
  * 2 tbsp butter
  * 2 tsp garam masala or curry powder
  * 1/4 tsp nutmeg

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

   1. Heat oven to 425. Bring large pot of water to boil and blanch
      spinach. Strain and squeeze out excess moisture. 
   2. Put butter, garam masala and nutmeg in large saucepan over medium
      heat. When the spices are fragrant, add coconut milk, yogurt,
      spinach, tofu (or pork) and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook,

      liquid. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add cheese if using and

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3 large cans whole stewed tomatoes

strained)
Strain and set aside.
Using the same saucepan saute onions in enough oil to cover the bottom

Add red curry past to the oil and onions, allowing paste to dissolve
into oil.
Next add 3 large cans of whole stewed tomatoes and juice, breaking them
up as you put them in.
Add carrot water reserved earlier.
Then add pre-cooked carrots and both cans of beans.
Allow to cook for about 10 minutes.
Add 2 cans coconut milk one at a time, stirring constantly to fully
integrate into tomato base

Allow spinach to wilt and finish the soup off with the apples at the
last minute (so they stay crunchy)

The Christmas favorite!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 1/2 cup milk, scalded
  * 2 pkgs yeast (2 tbsp)
  * 1/2 cup sugar
  * 3 eggs, beaten
  * 1 tsp salt
  * 5 cups flour
  * 1/2 cup butter, melted
  * 1/2 cup brown sugar
  * 1 tsp cinnamon
  * 2 lbs prunes, steamed and chopped
  * 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cool scalded milk to warm, add yeast and stir to dissolve.
Add sugar, beaten eggs, salt, and flour. Mix well.
Add the 1/2 cup of cooled melted butter and mix well.
Turn out on to a floured board and knead until dough is smooth and
elastic, working in a little additional flour if needed to prevent
sticking to fingers.
Place dough in a large oiled bowl and turn to oil top.
Let rise covered in a warm place until doubled in bulk about 1 hour.
Divide dough in two balls. 
Roll each ball as thin as possible into a oblong shape on a lightly
floured board.
Brush with 1/2 the sugar, cinnamon, prunes and nuts.
Roll up like a jelly roll and join ends to form a ring and place on an
oiled (or parchment paper) baking sheet. 
Cut with scissors from outer part of roll toward center but not entirely
to center, into 1/2 inch slices.
Shape slices by pulling out and flattening down, one over the other.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until nicely browned. While rings are
still warm frost with a simple confectioners sugar icing. 
Let cool and enjoy!

Jessica made this bread and we loved it.
Thank you Jessica!




Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tsp salt
  * 1 tsp sugar
  * 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  * 3 cups all purpose flour
  * Extra Virgin olive oil as needed
  * 2 tablespoons za'atar, optional.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whisk together the salt, sugar, yeast,and 1 cup warm water in a large
bowl. Let the mixture sit until it begins to froth, about 5 minutes,
then add the flour and mix until well combined. ( If the dough is very
dry, add more warm water a tablespoon at a time to moisten it .)
Cover and let rise about an hour. Meanwhile, prepare a grill; the heat
should be medium-high and the rack about 4 inches from the 
fire. When the dough has puffed up, transfer to a well floured surface
and kneed until soft and silky, 5 to 8 minutes. Cut the dough  into 8
equally sized pieces and roll each one out until it's about 6 inches in
diameter; don't worry about making these perfectly round,but try to keep
them relatively even in thickness. Brush one side of the breads with
olive oil and put as many  on the grill, oiled side down, as will
comfortably fit at one time. While the first side cooks, brush the side
facing you with more oil. when the breads begin to brown and puff up,
flip them. When the second side is nicely browned, remove from grill and
sprinkle with za'atar, if you like.

From the kitchen of <a href="http://joythebaker.com/2014/05/the-best-brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/#comments">Joy the Baker</a>

Here’s why these are the very BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies around.
Using butter two ways (browned and softened) helps create a chewy and crisp
texture.  Chewy on the outside and crisp around the edges.
Adding just a touch more than 2 cups of all-purpose flour helps maintain the
not-totally-flat-and-frustrating quality of the cookie.
Brown sugar and an extra kick of molasses lend depth to the sweetness.
Dark chocolate and a touch of sea salt pair bitterness and salty tang to the
sweet cookies.
They’re perfect because of brown butter, sea salt… 

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 cup (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  * 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  * 1 teaspoon molasses
  * 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  * 1 large egg
  * 1 large egg yolk
  * 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  * 1 teaspoon salt
  * 1 teaspoon baking soda
  * 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  * 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  * coarse sea salt, to sprinkle on top

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
   2. Place half the butter (8 tablespoons) in a medium skillet. Melt
      the butter over medium heat, swirling it in the pan occasionally.
      It’ll foam and froth as it cooks, and start to crackle and pop.
      Once the crackling stops, keep a close eye on the melted butter,
      continuing to swirl the pan often. The butter will start to smell
      nutty, and brown bits will form in the bottom. Once the bits are
      amber brown (about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or so after the sizzling
      stops), remove the butter from the burner and immediately pour it
      into a small bowl, bits and all. This will stop the butter from
      cooking and burning.  Allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
   3. Beat the remaining 1/2 cup butter with the brown sugar for 3 to 5
      minutes, until the mixture is very smooth.
   4. Beat in the vanilla extract and molasses.
   5. Pour the cooled brown butter into the bowl, along with the
      granulated sugar. Beat for 2 minutes, until smooth; the mixture
      will lighten in color and become fluffy.
   6. Add the egg and egg yolk, and beat for one minute more.
   7. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda, beating on low speed just
      until everything is incorporated.
   8. Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and pecans and finish
      incorporating all of the dry flour bits into the dough.
   9. Scoop the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, waxed paper, or
      plastic wrap. Flatten it slightly into a thick disk, and
      refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. About 15 minutes before
      you’re ready to begin baking, place racks in the center and
      upper third of the oven and preheat your oven to 350°F.
   10. Scoop the dough in 2 tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared
       baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches between the cookies;
       they’ll spread as they bake.
   11. Sprinkle the cookies with sea salt, to taste — as much or as
       little as you like.
   12. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, until they’re golden
       brown. Remove them from the oven, and allow them to rest on the
       baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving them.

Serve warm; or cool completely, and store airtight at room temperature
for several days. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze.

From the kitchen of Classical Turkish Cooking - Ayla Algar

A dish that was first prepared for me by the lovely Kumbu Kim. It is simple, but
warming, light and delicious.

Serve with basmati rice and maybe a little Sweet Thai Chili Sauce to spice it
up.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 cauliflower (2 pounds or ca. 1 kg)*
  * 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  * 1 cup chopped onions
  * 1/3 pound (ca. 150 grams) ground lamb, beef or poultry*
  * 3 sprigs thyme**
  * 3 sprigs marjoram**
  * 1.5 cups meat/chicken stock or water
  * Salt and freshly ground pepper
  * Flat-leaf parsley

*I don't really measure these ingredients. I just use whatever I have --
any cauliflower and the standard-sized package of ground meat. The
recipe is not very fussy. 

**I use dried herbs if I don't have fresh, which is often. Especially in
the winter.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Remove the stalk and leaves from the cauliflower. Blanch it in
      boiling salted water just a few minutes. Refresh with cold water
      and set aside.***
   2. Heat the butter in a heavy pan and cook the onions until they
      begin to brown around the edges.
   3. Add the meat and cook, stirring until it browns.
   4. Divide the cauliflower into florets and stir into the pan.
   5. Add herbs, meat/chicken stock or water, salt and pepper; cover and
      cook gently for 30 or 40 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
   6. Five minutes before the cooking is finished, stir in a handful of
      parsley.
   7. During cooking check for liquid and add some if necessary. Adjust
      seasoning, take out the herb sprigs and serve hot.

I like to serve it with basmati rice and maybe a little Sweet Thai Chili
Sauce to spice it up.

***I almost never blanch the cauliflower. I break it into florets and
add it to the pot after I finish browning the onions and meat. I don't
like the cauliflower to get too mushy.

This is another great take on apple crisp...becoming a favorite@

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 cup flour
  * 3/4 cup sugar
  * 1 tsp. baking powder
  * 3/4 tsp. salt
  * 1 egg
  * 3 cups peeled and sliced tart apples
  * 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  * 1/3 cup melted butter
  * 1 tsp. cinnamon sugar
  * 2 cups fresh blueberries( I used frozen)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a fork, mix until crumbly the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt,
and unbeaten egg.  You should use a sort of chopping motion with the
fork; if you don't, you're apt to have one large lump and you want a lot
of little ones.  This is the topping.  Place the apples and blueberries
in a greased baking dish.  Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, or more if
apples or berries are very tart.  Sprinkle topping over the fruit. 
Dribble melted butter over the topping.  Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. 
Bake in moderate, 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until topping is
lightly browned and baked through.  Test with a fork.  If it isn't
browning enough to suit you, turn up the oven heat at the last.  Just as
good the following day.  Serves 6-8.

From the kitchen of <a href="bit.ly/1edaPbX">Tasty Yummies</a>

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 1/2 cups diced butternut squash
  * 1 1/2 cups dried organic chick peas
  * 1 small onion, chopped
  * 2 cloves garlic, minced
  * 1 can organic coconut milk 
  * 1 bunch of fresh spinach, rinsed and roughly chopped (you could also
    use kale here)
  * 1 1/2 cups freshly shelled peas (you can use frozen here, if you
    wish)
  * 1-2 large tomatoes, diced
  * 3 cups vegetable broth or water
  * 3 tablespoons yellow curry powder 
  * 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  * handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (save some for serving)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Rinse and sort through the dry chickpeas. 
   2. Cut the skin off the squash, remove seeds and cut into 1 inch
      square cubes. 
   3. Add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker besides the peas
      and spinach. 
   4. Cook on high for 6 hours. 
   5. About 20-30 minutes before serving add in the fresh peas and
      spinach, and give it a stir. 
   6. If your sauce seems to be a bit too thin or watery when it is done
      cooking, you could make a quick mix of cornstarch and hot water
      and pour a tablespoon or two of the mixture into the crock pot,
      allow it to simmer a bit longer. This will thicken it right up.
   7. Serve over brown basmati or jasmine rice topped with fresh
      cilantro, mint or basil and maybe even some shredded coconut.

Sweet and sour cranberry sauce without added sugar. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 – 12 oz bags of fresh (not frozen) cranberries
  * 1 cup of 100% pure apple juice (no added sugars)
  * 1 large navel orange, washed
  * 10 dried black mission figs, very finely chopped (make sure you cut
    the stems off)
  * A dash or two of each: nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Place the cranberries, apple juice, figs, spices, and ½ cup of
      water into a covered saucepan on medium heat.
   2. Bring the mixture to a low boil for 10 minutes (until the
      cranberries “pop”), and turn down to low heat. Simmer (still
      covered) for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   3. Squeeze the juice from the orange into the sauce, and finely grate
      the orange zest (use the whole orange peel!) into the saucepan.
   4. Keep on low heat (simmer) for another 15 minutes. Store in
      airtight container in fridge until ready to use.  Serve cold for
      the best flavor.

Delicious, sweet salad. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  * 1 bag fresh cranberries
  * 16 dried apricots
  * 1 lb. seedless grapes, cut in half
  * 2 apples, cut into bite-sized pieces
  * 1/2 cup pecan halves
  * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This salad works best if you do the prep, let it sit overnight, then
assemble shortly before eating. Trust me; it will be worth it!

[Prep]

   1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Put your mixing bowl and beater in the
      freezer, and place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator.
   2. Wash the cranberries and set a few aside for garnish. Place them
      in the bowl of a food processor with the dried apricots and grind
      them until the mixture has the consistency of relish. (It’s OK!
      Go ahead… sneak a little bite. It’s tangy and delicious!)
   3. In a large bowl, toss the cranberry-apricot relish with the cut
      apples and grapes. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator so
      they can get to know each other. Forget about them until the next
      day.
   4. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast
      for 5-7 minutes until golden. Keep an eye on them; they can burn
      quickly. This step is optional, but it makes the flavors all that
      much tastier. When they’re cool, chop the pecans and set aside
      – be sure to save a few unchopped for garnish. Resist the urge
      to eat them immediately. If you’re feeling lazy, you can
      use untoasted pecans; it will be fine.

[Assembly]

   1. When you’re ready to assemble the salad, take your can of
      coconut milk out of the fridge and put it in the freezer for 10
      minutes, then…
   2. It’s time to make the whipped cream! Remove the mixing bowl and
      beater from the freezer, pour the chilled coconut milk into the
      cold bowl, add the vanilla extract, and beat the mixture on the
      highest speed of your mixer until it looks like whipped cream.
      This takes about 5-7 minutes. Marvel at the creaminess!
   3. When the cream is done, place the chopped pecans and fruit relish
      in a large bowl. Gently fold in the whipped cream and garnish with
      whole cranberries and nuts.
   4. Enjoy!

I made the cake the night before and frosted it in the morning with traditional
8 oz cream cheese, 4 oz butter and 2 tbsp maple syrup whipped until light and
fluffy. No one knew it was grain-free. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Cake:
  * 1 cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  * 1 cup Justin’s Maple Almond Butter
  * (If you don’t want to buy maple almond butter, use plain + 1
    tablespoon maple syrup.)
  * 1/4 cup honey
  * 2 large eggs
  * 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  * 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  * 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  * 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  * 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  * 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  * 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  * Frosting
  * 1/3 cup coconut butter
  * 1/2 cup coconut oil
  * 1/2 tablespoon honey
  * 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  * Optional-pecans for topping

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Make the cake. In a medium sized bowl, combine all the cake
ingredients and mix thoroughly to combine. Pour into an 8×8 oven-safe
baking dish. Bake until completely cooked through, about 30 minutes.
3. Make the frosting. Place the coconut butter and coconut oil in a
microwave-safe dish and heat until softened, but not melted. The length
of time you need to nuke it will depend on the temperature in your
house, so start with 30-second increments and repeat until you get the
right consistency. Place the coconut butter and oil in a large mixing
bowl, then add the honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Beat until
fluffy with a standing or hand mixer. If you don’t have a mixer, go at
it with a whisk… and good luck to you!
4. Assemble! Allow the cake to cool completely. Completely. For real.
When you’re sure it’s cooler than Mr. Mike Ness in Red Square in
February, you may cut it into 9 or 16 squares. Dollop a spoonful of
frosting onto each square and top with a nut. Do not snarf your cake yet
– save it for Thanksgiving dinner!
5. Chill out. When all squares are frosted, cover lightly with plastic
wrap and refrigerate. The frosting will firm up in the fridge and the
texture transforms into a confection. Serve the cake squares chilled or
at room temperature.

From the kitchen of www.realsustenance.com

I used this bread for Thanksgiving stuffing. It held up really well and tasted
great too. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 8 large Eggs
  * 1 1/2 TBS Oil
  * 1/3 Cup Milk (dairy or nondairy)
  * 3/4 Cup Coconut Flour
  * 3/4 Cup Flax Seed Meal
  * 2 1/2 Tsp. Double Acting Baking Powder *(see note above)
  * 1 Tsp. Sea Salt
  * 1 1/2 TBS Dried Rosemary
  * 1 TBS Powdered Dried Sage
  * 2 Tsp. Garlic Powder 
  * 1 1/2 Tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar (or other vinegar)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2.  In the bowl of a mixer beat the eggs until they start to bubble and
froth around the edges.
3. Add in the Oil and Milk and continue beating.
4. Add in the remaining ingredients beat until filly mixed.  Oil a loaf
pan or place a sheet of cut parchment into it. This bread is a little on
the sticky side.  (a smallish loaf pan will work best as this loaf is a
little on the smaller side)  Pour the very thick batter in. Smooth top.
5. Bake for 70-75 minutes. The bread should be firm to touch. It will
not rise significantly- maybe just an inch or so.
To make the  dried bread crumbs for the stuffing: Cut slices of the
bread into cubes. Place on a baking tray and cook at 300 degrees for 45
minutes -1 hour until dry. 
This recipe yields 1 full cookie sheet of bread crumbs. They can be made
ahead and used in ANY stuffing recipe.

From scratch and totally worth it. I used fresh green beans, trimmed and cut on
the angle, parboiled for a few minutes. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Onion Topping
  * 2-3 medium onions, very thinly sliced
  * 2 eggs
  * 3 tablespoons of heavy cream or coconut milk
  * 2-3 tablespoons of coconut flour
  * 1/2 cup coconut oil or tallow for frying (I use tallow)
  * 
  * Healthy Cream of Mushroom Sauce
  * 1/2 cup butter
  * 1/2 cup cream or coconut milk
  * 1/3 of onion mix above
  * 8-10 mushrooms, finely diced
  * 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  * salt and pepper to taste
  * 4-5 egg yolks (You should have these left over if you are making the
    Sweet Potato Casserole)
  * coconut milk or water to thin
  * 
  * Other
  * 5 cans of cut or french style green beans (can also use fresh or 2-3
    bags of frozen, just heat first to remove extra liquid)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Thinly slice all the onions, separate,  and put in medium bowl.
2. Add the two eggs and the heavy cream and mix well until evenly
incorporated.
3. Add coconut flour and mix by hand until evenly coated (note:may use
slightly more or less depending on your brand of coconut flour.)
4. Put tallow in large skillet and turn on medium high heat.
5. When hot, add the coated onions and evenly brown, turning
occasionally.
6. When browned, remove from heat and set aside.
7. In medium sauce pan, melt butter and saute mushrooms until starting
to brown, then add cream or coconut milk.
8. Whisk in egg yolks and spices and about 1/3 of the onion topping
mixture and continue stirring until the yolks begin to cook and the
mixture thickens.
9. Add extra milk or water if needed to thin (only a few tablespoons
might be needed).
10. Drain green beans and pour into a 9×13 baking dish.
11. Pour the cream mixture over and mix well until incorporated.
12. Top with onion mixture and heat at 325 in oven until topping starts
to crisp (but not burn!) and green beans are heated.
Enjoy!

This is also just a great chocolate cake recipe. The cake is moist and
delicious!

Makes 20 to 24 cupcakes

You can bake the cupcakes a week or two in advance and store them, well wrapped,
in the freezer. You can also fill them before you freeze them. They also keep
filled — or filled and frosted — in the fridge for a day. (Longer, they will
start to get stale.)

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes

  * 1 cup stout (such as Guinness)
  * 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  * 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
  * 2 cups all purpose flour
  * 2 cups sugar
  * 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  * 3/4 teaspoon salt
  * 2 large eggs
  * 2/3 cup sour cream

Ganache Filling

  * 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  * 2/3 cup heavy cream
  * 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  * 1 to 2 teaspoons Irish whiskey (optional)

Baileys Frosting 

  * 2 1/2 to 4 cups confections sugar; enough to reach desired
    consistency
  * 1 stick (1/2 cup or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  * 3 to 4 tablespoons Baileys (or milk, or heavy cream, or a
    combination thereof)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make the cupcakes:

   1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 cupcake cups with liners.
   2. Put the butter with the beer in a sauce pan over medium heat and
      bring to a simmer.
   3. Whisk in cocoa powder until smooth. 
   4. Cool slightly.
   5. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
   6. In a mixer bowl, beat the eggs and the sour cream together.
   7. Add the beer/butter/cocoa mixture and beat to combine.
   8. Add the flour mixture and beat briefly just to combine.
   9. Using a rubber spatula, fold the batter until completely combined,
      making sure to incorporate little pockets of flour on the bottom
      so that the batter is of equal consistency everywhere.
   10. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 of the way if you want flatter
       cupcakes and 3/4 if you want domed.
   11. Bake for about 17 minutes, or until a toothpick or a slim knife
       inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
   12. Cool completely to room temperature.

Make the filling:

   1. Chop the chocolate and transfer it to a heatproof bowl.
   2. Heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate.
   3. Let it sit for one minute and then stir until smooth.
   4. Add the butter and whiskey (if you're using it) and stir until
      combined.

Fill the cupcakes:

   1. Let the ganache cool until thick but still soft enough to be
      piped.
   2. Using your 1-inch round cookie cutter or an apple corer, cut the
      centers out of the cooled cupcakes. (I went about half to 2/3 of
      the way down and used a small knife to help me extract the
      centers.)
   3. Put the ganache into a piping bag with a wide tip and fill the
      holes in each cupcake to the top.

Make the frosting:

   1. In a large mixer bowl, whip the butter for several minutes until
      very light and fluffy. 
   2. Slowly add the powdered sugar, letting it incorporate, until the
      butter becomes thicker and stiff (you will know when this
      happens).
   3. Slowly drizzle the Bailey's (or milk or cream or a combination
      thereof) and whip until combined.
   4. Ice and decorate the cupcakes. (It was difficult to spread the
      frosting with the opening for the ganache. It was easier to pipe
      little stars of frosting with a piping bag.)

"Flat Beans with Olive Oil"
<https://www.earthli.com/recipes/view_recipe.php?id=235>.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3/4 cup long-grain rice
  * 3 tbsp orzo (check the pasta aisle)
  * 1 cup hot water or chicken stock
  * 2 tbsp butter
  * 1 tsp salt
  * Pinch pepper

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wash the rice several times with warm water and drain. Then cover the
rice with hot water and leave for about 15 minutes, then drain. Place
the orzo in a medium sized pot. Stir continuously on medium-low heat,
until the colour turns light brown. Add the butter and rice in the
cooking pot. Saute the rice with butter for 2-3 minutes while stirring.
Pour 1 cup of hot water or chicken stock in it. Add salt and pepper.
Turn the heat to low and cook until the rice absorbs all the water.

Take the cooking pot away from the heat. Open the lid, place a clean
kitchen towel across the top of the pot on the rim and put the lid on
it. Let the Pilaf stand for about 5 minutes. We call this brewing time.
Then serve.

From the kitchen of <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Potato-Plum-Dumplings/Detail.aspx">Linda Mclean</a>

"Sweet dark plums are wrapped in a potato dough, and boiled before rolling in
sweetened toasted bread crumbs. My Austrian grandmother made these delicious
dessert dumplings for us every fall. These take some time to make, but to me,
they're well worth the effort."

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dough

4 large russet potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup farina
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

Filling

12 Italian prune plums
12 cubes white sugar

Bread Crumbs
 
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup dry bread crumbs

Garnish

Additional melted butter and sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Scrub potatoes, and place them into a large pot with enough water
      to cover. bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 40
      minutes. Drain, and cool. When potatoes are cool enough to handle,
      peel, and press through a ricer into a large bowl. Set aside to
      cool. This part of the process can be done as much as one day in
      advance. 
   2. In a large bowl, mix together the prepared potatoes, salt, egg,
      and 1 tablespoon of butter until well blended. Gradually stir in
      the farina, and then the flour. If dough is still wet, more flour
      can be mixed in. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead
      until smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. 
   3. Split open each plum where it cracks, and remove the pit. Replace
      each pit with a sugar cube, and close. 
   4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
      Cut into twelve 3 inch squares. Place one plum into each square,
      and bring the corners around to the top. Pinch together all of the
      seams to seal. 
   5. Bring a large pot of water to a slow boil. Place about 4 dumplings
      into the water at a time. Once they float to the surface, continue
      to cook them for about 5 more minutes. Transfer cooked dumplings
      to a covered bowl, and keep warm. 
   6. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a small skillet over
      medium heat. Stir in bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Continue
      to cook and stir until browned. Remove the bread crumbs to a
      plate, and roll warm dumplings in the mixture until entirely
      coated. To serve, place a dumpling or two on a plate, sprinkle
      with a little sugar and a little extra melted butter, if desired.

From the kitchen of CDKitchen

Serves 8

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 4 cups broccoli cuts fresh or 16 ounces frozen broccoli cuts or 2
    (10-oz.) packages frozen broccoli cuts
  * 3 cups chicken broth
  * 2 medium onions -- chopped
  * 1 teaspoon thyme
  * 1 bay leaf
  * 2 small garlic cloves
  * 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
  * 2 tablespoons King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 1 dash pepper
  * 2 cups milk -- half and half, or evaporated milk

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine chicken broth, onions, broccoli, thyme, bay leaf and garlic
cloves. 

Bring to a boil. Simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. In a small
saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk
gradually, stirring constantly until all milk is added; mixture will be
lumpy at first, but will smooth out as you keep stirring. Cook, stirring
occasionally, till mixture bubbles and thickens. 

Remove and discard bay leaf from broccoli/broth mixture. Puree in
batches in blender or food processor for 30 seconds, or until very
smooth. 

Transfer to large bowl. Add milk mixture, stirring until well combined.
Adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

A delicious cookie!

Ingredients

  * 1 1/2 cup sorghum flour mix*
  * 1 tsp xantham gum
  * 1/2 tsp baking soda
  * 1/4 tsp salt
  * 1/4 cup butter, softened
  * 3/4 cup brown sugar
  * 1/3 cup white sugar (I used 1/4 cup)
  * 2 tsp vanilla extract
  * 1 large egg
  * 1/2 cup peanut butter chips (Partially Hydrogenated Oil free)
  * 1/2 cup chocolate chips (we used semi-sweet)
  * 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  * 
  * Sorghum Baking Mix
  * 1 part sorghum flour
  * 1 part corn or potato starch
  * 2/3 part tapioca flour

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mix flour, salt, baking soda and xantham gum in a bowl.
Beat butter and sugars until creamy in a separate bowl. Add vanilla and

Add flour mix to butter and sugar mix.

Chill for at least one hour. 
Preheat oven to 350.

Let cool on sheet for a few minutes. 
Eat while warm! Or freeze for "Special Snack" Fridays.

From the kitchen of <a href="http://kottke.org/09/10/the-worlds-best-pancake-recipe">Jason Kottke & Robie</a>

Fluffy, relatively easy pancakes. Recipe feeds four.

The original recipe called them the world's best, a rating which is unlikely to
be scientifically verified, but is entirely plausible.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dry ingredients:

  * 2 cups/250g flour
  * 2 tbsp/31g sugar
  * 4 tsp/21g baking powder
  * 1 tsp/5g baking soda
  * 1 tsp/5g fine salt

Wet ingredients:

  * 2 cups/500ml buttermilk (2 cups/500ml milk & 2 tbsp/32ml lemon
    juice)
  * 4 tbsp/60g melted butter
  * 1 tsp/5g vanilla extract
  * 2 beaten eggs

Additional:

  * 1/2 cup/125g butter for greasing pans
  * 1/2 cup/125g butter for topping
  * 1/2 cup/125ml maple syrup for topping

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl; whisk; set aside
   2. Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl; whisk; set aside
   3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just combined
   4. Fry in a pan with butter
   5. Top with maple syrup and devour

Don't skimp on the ingredients here. Use real butter and real vanilla
extract, but especially real maple syrup and real buttermilk. The
buttermilk might be a bit of a problem, depending on geography; in that
case, there are "good substitutes for buttermilk"
<http://www.cdkitchen.com/features/tip/250/Buttermilk-Substitute>
online. We use a tbsp. of lemon juice per cup of milk.

From the kitchen of Amber

Warm, cozy comfort food....thats good for you!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
  * 1 onion, chopped
  * 2 cups (1 can) black beans
  * 1 4oz can diced green chilis
  * 1 tsp cumin
  * 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  * 1/2 tsp salt
  * 8 flour (or corn tortillas)
  * 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (leave out if vegan)
  * 
  * Easy Enchilada Sauce
  * 2 cups tomato sauce (I use Trader Joes' Organic Marinara) 
  * 3 cups water
  * 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  * 1/2 tsp onion powder
  * 3 tbsp chili powder
  * 4 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saute sweet potato and onion in large fry pan in 1 tbsp oil until
tender. Add water as needed to prevent sticking.
Add beans, chilis, cumin, cinnamon and salt to sweet potatoes and cook
until heated through.
Pour about 1 cup of prepared enchilada sauce (Trader Joes) or your own
(see below for the easy recipe I use) in bottom of 9x13 baking dish. 
Stuff each tortilla with some cheese and some of the black bean-sweet
potato mix). Roll up and place, seem side down in baking dish. 
Pour more enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with more cheese if you
want. 
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes. Serve with fresh
chopped cilantro, salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream. 

Enchilada Sauce: Combine ingredients in sauce pan and cook, stirring
constantly until the mix boils and thickens. About 7-10 minutes.

From the kitchen of Diane Watkins

This is a great potato soup as I am not usually a fan of potato soup.  I added a
pound of chopped clams and it was delicious.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 6 slices bacon
  * 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  * 1 14 oz. can chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a large saucepan, cook bacon till crisp;  remove bacon and set aside.
 Drain off grease leaving enough to cook onion in.  When cooked, add
potatoes, broth, leeks, carrot, parsley, celery seed and black pepper.

flour and milk(and cream if using) and whisk till smooth.  Add to soup
and bring to boil; stir 2 mins.   Add chopped clams if using.  Add
cheese & stir till melted.  Add bacon, crumbled.  Garnish bowls with
chopped onions if desired.

From the kitchen of King Arthur Flour "Whole Grain Baking"

WOW! Great chocolate-y flavor, nice light texture. A winner!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ganache Frosting
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cake
1 cup (8 oz) stout beer (We used Guinness, of course)
1 cup (8oz) unsalted butter
3/4 cup unsweetened dutch-process cocoa powder
2 cups (8 oz) whole wheat flour (traditional or white whole wheat)
2 cups (14 oz) sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
6 tbsp (3 oz) sour cream (I used full fat greek yogurt)
1 cup (6 oz) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ganache: Make the frosting first, since it needs time to set up in the
fridge. Place the chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Bring the
cream to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Pour the hot cream over
the chocolate, and stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Stir in
the vanilla. Refrigerate until the icing is spreadable, stirring
occasionally, about 2 hours. 

Cake: Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
Place the stout and butter in a large heavy saucepan, and bring to a
simmer over medium heat. Remove the pan from heat, add the cocoa and
whisk until the mix is smooth. Set aside to cool.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Beat together the eggs and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Add the
stout chocolate mixture, mixing to combine. Add the flour mixture and
mix together at low speed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing
bowl, add the chocolate chips if using and mix again for 1 minute. Pour
batter into prepared pans. 

Bake the cake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out
clean, 45-50 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and  cool on a rake
for 10 minutes, then turn out of its pan onto the rack to cool
completely. 

Assembly: Frost as you would any layer cake. You got it from here right?
I am tired of typing.

From the kitchen of King Arthur Flour "Whole Grain Baking"

Wow! My 3 or 4th 100% whole wheat bread recipe attempt and by far the best!
Light, mild and delicious with Grandma's homemade strawberry jam!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3 tbsp (1 1/2 oz) orange juice
  * 1 cup (8 oz) lukewarm water
  * 2 tbsp (7/8 oz) vegetable oil (I used extra virgin olive)
  * 3 cups (12 oz) traditional whole wheat flour (I used 1 cup stone
    ground whole wheat and 2 cups white whole wheat)
  * 2 tbsp (1 oz) firmly packed brown sugar
  * 1 1/4 tsp salt (I used Celtic Sea Salt)
  * 3/4 cup (3 oz) walnuts or pecans, finely chopped ( I used walnuts,
    very finely chopped, almost powdered)
  * 2 1/2 tsp instant yeast (I used dry active, mixing it with the oj,
    water and brown sugar to proof it)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine all the ingredients and mix until just moist. Let sit for 45
minutes, then knead-by hand, mixer or bread machine-until you have soft,
smooth dough. I kneaded by hand for a long time (10-12 minutes) and
never reached a "soft" dough. Everything turned out great anyway.  
Don't add extra flour while kneading whole grain yeast breads, its makes
them more dry and dense. Oil your hands if necessary. 
COver and allow the dough to rise until its puffy and nearly double in
bulk, 1-2 hours.
Lightly grease a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Gently deflate (just
squeeze, no need to "punch down") dough, and shape into log. Place it in
prepared pan.
Cover it gently with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow to rise till
it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Near the end of rising, preheat over to 350.
Uncover and bake bread for 40 minutes, tenting it with foil after 15
minutes. The bread is down when its golden brown and an instant-read
thermometer inserted into center reads 190 degrees F. 
Remove it from the oven, and after a minute or two turn it out onto a
rack.
Brush with melted butter if you desire. This will keep the crust soft.
(I did not).
Cool the bread for 30 minutes before slicing.

From the kitchen of Mark Bittman from Men's Health

I made this with strawberries, silken tofu and a little stevia. It was awesome!
I bet Greek yogurt would be really good too.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 lb frozen strawberries or other fruit
  * 1/2 cup yogurt, creme fraiche, or silken tofu
  * 1/4 cup sugar, more or less
  * Water, as needed

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put all ingredients except the water into a food processor, and process
until pureed and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as of he bowl
as needed. If the fruit doesn't break down completely, gradually (a
tablespoon or two at a time) add some water through the feed tube, being
careful not to over-process the sorbet into liquid. Serve immediately or
freeze. To serve later, allow 10-15 minutes for the sorbet to soften at
room temperature. 
Makes 2 cups.

From the kitchen of Jean-Georges Vongerichten

This is the original recipe, I altered it substantially and it still turned out
well. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/4 cup flour (I used whole wheat pastry)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk (I used unsweetened almond milk with lemon juice)
3 tbsp butter, melted

Raspberry Topping
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp sugar
2 cups raspberries (blueberries, blackberries or all three)

Apple Topping
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey
2 apples, cut into eighths (pears or both)
2 tbsp water 

Instructions

1. Combine flour, salt, baking soda.
2.  In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk.
3.  Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Mix gently to
combine.
4.  Add the butter and mix gently. The batter should be combined but
lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. 
5.  Warm a skillet over medium heat (if you use whole grains ,use a
slightly lower temperature). Pour the batter to make a pancake of your
desired size. When the batter bubbles on top, the pancake should be
flipped. 

Raspberry Topping
1.  Place butter, water and sugar in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to
boil.
2.  Add the raspberries and warm them through until they are soft. 

Apple Topping
1.  Melt the butter in a saute pan with the honey.
2.  Add the apple slices to the pan in one layer. Saute until
caramelized and soft.
3.  When caramelized, remove the apples.
4.  Deglaze the pan with the water and combine this liquid with the
apples.

From the kitchen of Patricia Golshani

A family favorite. Make up to 24 hours ahead of time.  

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1/2 head of lettuce (I now use 'romaine' lettuce), chopped
  * 1/4 head of cauliflower (I usually use more), chopped into small
    flowers
  * 1 pack baby sweet peas, thawed (not cooked)
  * 1 cup or more chopped celery  (again, I don't measure)
  * 1/2 lb. bacon, fried crisp then crumbled
  * 1 cup of mayo (I add 2 tsp. lemon juice)
  * 1 cup parmasean cheese  (or less)
  * 1 pack "Good Season Italian Mix" [dry]

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Layer in bowl in order given. Cover tightly, put in 'fridge for 24
hours. 

May toss lightly, before serving.    

MY (Patty's) NOTES: I really don't measure the ingredents any more, I
just make sure it covers a nice layer.  I've used more bacon, too.  I
tried using turkey bacon (which we usually eat anyway)  but it didn't
stay crisp.  The reason I add lemon juice to the mayo is, I mix and mix
it 'till it becomes nice and smooth.  This way, it kinda 'pours' over
the previous layer.  You also know that it still tastes delicious the
next day, thus at that point, it may be called 48 hours salad.

From the kitchen of Sunset Magazine 10/08 Issue

These little dumplings are ever so slightly sweet.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 butternut squash about 2 lbs
  * 1/2 tsp salt
  * 1/4 tsp each ground white pepper and freshly ground nutmeg
  * 3 to 3 1/2 cup flour, plus more for shaping (I used whole wheat
    pastry flour)
  * 3 tbsp butter, melted
  * 1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese, plus more at the table
  * Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Bake or microwave squash until tender. Peel off skin and place flesh
into bowl. Puree with hand mixer until smooth. 
2. Combine 2 cups of the mashed squash with 1/2 tsp salt, white pepper
and nutmeg. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time until a dough forms (it will
pull away from side of bowl).
3. Turn dough onto well floured surface. WIth well floured hands, kneed
dough 10 to 12 times. 
4. Divide dough in half and cover 1 batch with plastic wrap. Roll the
other batch into a 3/4 inch thick rope and cut into 1/2 inch long
pieces. Put pieces on a floured baking sheet and set aside. Repeat with
remaining dough.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a bowl. Boil gnocchi until they
rise to the surface, about 4 minutes, cook 30 seconds longer and then
lift with a slotted spoon, making sure water drains from gnocchi, and
place in a large serving bowl. Gently toss with butter, cheese and a
sprinkling of black pepper. Serve hot and pass extra cheese at the
table.

From the kitchen of <a href= "http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001439spicy_pumpkin_soup.php">Elise.com</a>

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  * 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
  * 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  * 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  * 2 teaspoons curry powder
  * 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  * Pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
  * 3 (15 oz) cans 100 percent pumpkin or 6 cups of chopped roasted
    pumpkin*
  * 5 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  * 2 cups of milk
  * 1/2 cup brown sugar
  * 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Melt butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add
      onions and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about
      4 minutes. Add spices and stir for a minute more.
   2. Add pumpkin and 5 cups of chicken broth; blend well. Bring to a
      boil and reduce heat, simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
   3. Transfer soup, in batches, to a blender or food processor. Cover
      tightly and blend until smooth. Return soup to saucepan.
   4. With the soup on low heat, add brown sugar and mix. Slowly add
      milk while stirring to incorporate. Add cream. Adjust seasonings
      to taste. If a little too spicy, add more cream to cool it down.
      You might want to add a teaspoon of salt.
   5. Serve in individual bowls. Sprinkle the top of each with toasted
      pumpkin seeds.

*To make pumpkin purée, cut a sugar pumpkin in half, scoop out the
seeds and stringy stuff, lie face down on a tin-foil lined baking pan.
Bake at 350°F until soft, about 45 min to an hour. Cool, scoop out the
flesh. Freeze whatever you don't use for future use.

From the kitchen of <a href= "http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sausage-Pasta/Detail.aspx">Allrecipes.com</a>

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3/4 pound pasta
  * 1 tablespoon olive oil
  * 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
  * 1 onion, chopped
  * 4 cloves garlic, minced
  * 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  * 1 teaspoon dried basil
  * 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  * 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
  * 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and
      cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and reserve.
   2. In a large skillet, heat oil and sausage; cook through until no
      longer pink. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add onion and
      garlic to skillet. Add broth, basil and tomatoes with liquid. 
   3. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes to slightly reduce. Add
      chopped spinach; cover skillet and simmer on reduced heat until
      spinach is tender.
   4. Add pasta to skillet and mix together. Sprinkle with cheese and

I usually have extra peppers around, so I through in two red ones or a
yellow and red one. The more vegetables, the better!

The soup which prompted Bop-Bop to have thirds.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  * 1 onion, chopped
  * 6 stalks celery, chopped
  * 6 carrots, chopped
  * 6 potatoes, chopped
  * broth, veggie or chicken
  * 1/2 gallon Milk-2%, or unsweetened soy 
  * 2 bags frozen sweet corn
  * 3 cups shredded cheese, cheddar or soy cheddar
  * 
  * *All ingredients are approximations. Use more or less to suit.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dump oil into large saucepot on medium burner.
Add onions, celery, carrots and potatoes. Saute for 5 minutes. 
Pour in enough broth to cover veggies and bring to a boil. Reduce to
simmer and cook until veggies are soft, about 20 minutes. Smoosh some of
the potatoes.
Add about 1/2 gallon of milk and the frozen corn. Bring to boil
again-gently as to avoid scorching the milk. 
Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for another 20-30 minutes until all
veggies are tender and flavors are melded. Add cheese and stir until
melted, another 5 minutes. 
Serve with some crusty whole grain bread and a salad. Yummy!

Yummy frittata with lots of veggies. I usually use about twice the amount of
peppers and mushrooms as called for in the recipe and sometimes an extra
zucchini, too. One of the ingredients in the recipe is liquid egg substitute. I
never have this on hand and have a hard time finding it, so I just throw in a
couple of extra eggs depending on how many vegetables I've used.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tbsp trans-free margarine
  * 1 onion, chopped
  * 2 zucchini, thinly sliced
  * 4 large mushrooms, chopped
  * 1/2 large red bell pepper, chopped
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  * 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  * 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  * 1 cup liquid egg substitute
  * 1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Place the broiler rack in the lowest position (6" to 7" inches
      from the heat source) and preheat the broiler.
   2. Melt 1 tablespoon of the margarine in a large oven-safe nonstick
      skillet over medium heat.
   3. Add onion, zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of the
      salt, the thyme and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.
   4. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until the
      vegetables are tender and no juices remain in the pan.
   5. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg substitute, the remaining
      1/4 teaspoon salt, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and the
      cheese, if using.
   6. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of margarine in the skillet with
      the vegetables over very low heat.
   7. Pour in the egg mixture.
   8. Cook, uncovered and without stirring for 15 minutes or until only
      the top remains runny,
   9. Place the skillet under the broiler and cook for 2 minutes, or
      until the eggs are just set.
   10. Slide the frittata onto a large serving plate to serve.

Makes 4 fresh delicious hearty servings

These Ukrainian stuffed peppers cook on top of the stove, in a pot. Long and
slow, low heat cooking, is the secret to this delicious Ukrainian stuffed pepper
recipe. 

ETHNIC COOKING HINT: Sour cream is a staple in every Ukrainian kitchen.
Practically every meal has something made with sour cream. A very tasty
horseradish sauce is easy to make and is delicious anytime. See below for the
Ukrainian Sour Cream and Horseradish Sauce recipe.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 8 medium sized fresh sweet peppers (green, red, orange, yellow or a
    mix)
  * 1/2 lb. freshly ground beef, (or 1 lb. beef, if you do not like
    pork)
  * 1/2 lb. freshly ground pork
  * 1 raw large, fresh egg
  * 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice (washed).
  * 2 28 oz. cans of crushed tomatoes (or 9 to 10 peeled, garden fresh
    tomatoes).
  * 1/3 cup of chopped, fresh yellow onion
  * 1 medium fresh sweet carrot, finely shredded
  * 2 Tablespoons fresh sweet Hungarian paprika
  * 1 teaspoon salt
  * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  * 1-1/2 Tablespoons granulated sugar (do not omit)
  * 2 whole Bay leaves
  * 1 cup water, only if needed by the recipe, (see below)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Cut about 1 inch off the top of each pepper. Discard seeds and
      membranes. Finely chop the pepper tops (you should have about 1/4
      to 1/3 cup). 
   2. In a mixing bowl, place the ground meat, raw egg, washed rice,
      carrot, salt and paprika.
   3. Mix well with a heavy spoon or your clean washed hands.
   4. Stuff the cleaned peppers, using all the prepared meat mixture.
   5. Stand the stuffed peppers up right in the cooking pot.
   6. Add the crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, sugar, onions, ground pepper
      and chopped tops of peppers over the peppers.
   7. Cover and slowly cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
   8. If the tomato sauce thickens up too much, add additional water as
      required. 
   9. To serve, spoon the delicious sauce from the pot, over the stuffed
      peppers. Serve with fresh baked bread and your favorite beverage.
      Enjoy...!

Ukrainian Sour Cream and Horse-Radish Sauce:

  * 2 cups fresh sour cream
  * 3 tablespoons grated horseradish
  * 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt 


   1. Mix all the ingredients together in medium stainless steel mixing
      bowl.
   2. Cover and chill for 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to mingle
      together. 
   3. Serve the horse-radish sauce at room temperature with your meal.

Makes about 2 1/4 cups.
HINT: Reduce the horse-radish if you like it milder. Add more
horse-radish if you like it stronger.

From the kitchen of Karen & Penny

This is a nice sweet hot jelly that is very good with cream cheese on crackers
or anything else you would like to put it on!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 lbs. hot cherry peppers
  * 10 cups sugar
  * 2 cups cider vinegar
  * 2 pouches certo

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please wear gloves when handling cherry peppers.  Cut stems out of
peppers, leaving as many seeds as you can.  cut into quarters and drop
in blender with some of the vinegar.  Blend up really well.  You will
need to do this in at least 2 batches not to overload blender.
In a large stainless steel kettle, add sugar and the vinegar, pepper
mixture;  cook and stir to a full rolling boil, one that cannot be
stirred down.  Be careful it doesn't boil over.
Remove from heat and add the 2 pouches of certo;  skim off foam being
careful not to skim too many seeds.
Put into clean jars and seal.

From the kitchen of New Food of Life by Najmieh Batmanglij

Very succlent, very easy marianade for chicken.  We skewered it and grilled it,
though you could easy bake or pan fry in its juices.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 teaspoon ground saffron dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
  * 1 cup lime juice, fresh is best, but I used prepared
  * 2 tbsp olive oil
  * 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  * 2 teaspoons salt
  * 2 teaspoons peper
  * 3 pounds boneless chicken
  * 
  * Baste
  * Juice of one lime
  * 1 teaspoon saffron dissolved in 2 tbsp hot water
  * 1/4 cup butter melted
  * 1/2 tsp salt
  * 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In large bowl combine saffron water, lime juice, oilive oil, onions,
salt and pepper. Beat well with a fork. Add pieces of chicken and toss
well. Cover and mariante for AT LEAST 6 hours and up to 2 days in the
fridge. THe longer the better.  Turn chicken twice during this period.

When ready, cook chicken as desired (we skewered and grilled).

As a short cut, we used the left over mariande to baste instead of
preparing the additional basting sauce which is essentially the same
thing as the mariande.

We took the onions out of the marinade and cooked 'em up in a frying
pan.  Delicious.

Kale is my favorite veggie. This recipe is great-its tangy, savory and a little
sweet.

I used dried cherries, that I soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes. I also
used less sugar, about one teaspoon. Oh and I used extra virgin olive oil which
is a MUCH healthier choice than canola.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 cup fresh sour cherries, pitted (or canned unsweetened sour
    cherries, drained)
  * 2 to 3 teaspoons sugar
  * 1 tablespoon canola oil
  * 3 cups sliced onion (a sweet variety, like Vidalia, if available)
  * 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  * 3 large bunches fresh greens, stemmed if necessary, and coarsely
    chopped (about 12 cups)
  * 1 cup dried sour cherries (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Place the cherries in a small bowl, and sprinkle with sugar. Let
sit for about 10 minutes.

   2. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add the onion
and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and sauté over high heat for about 5
minutes. Turn the heat to medium, cover, and let the onion cook until
very tender (about 10 more minutes).

   3. Begin adding the greens in batches (as much as will fit),
sprinkling each addition with about 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir and cover
between additions, letting the greens cook down for about 5 minutes each
time, to make room for the next batch.

   4. When all the greens are added and have wilted, stir in the
cherries and cook for just about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a
platter, and sprinkle the dried cherries on top, if desired. Serve hot
or warm, being sure to include some of the delicious cooking juices with
each serving.

From the kitchen of Mollie Katzen (molliekatzen.com)

A variation I havent tried yet but you can bet I will!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * A little olive oil or oil spray for the baking tray
  * 1 giant bunch fresh kale, stemmed and minced (about 1 pound)
  * 2 to 3 tablespoons grated parmesan (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking tray with foil, then
brush or spray it with oil. 

Add the kale, and spread it out as much as possible. 

Bake for 10 minutes, mixing it up once or twice during that time.
Sprinkle with parmesan, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, stirring
occasionally, until it's as crisp as you like it. (The kale will
continue to shrink and crispen the longer it bakes. If you watch it
closely and stir it enough, you can get it quite crisp without burning
it.) 

Remove the tray from the oven, and let the kale cool on the tray. Kale
Crunch will keep for a week or two in a covered container—no
refrigeration necessary

I may not be retired but I sure do enjoy this spicy Russian winter warmer drink.


Other recipies I saw used less honey, more wine, a variety of spices including
cardamom pods and ground ginger.  

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 3 1/2 cups red wine
  * 2 cups honey
  * 3 cinnamon sticks
  * 1 tablespoon cloves
  * 2 dried red chili peppers, optional
  * 2 tablespoons apricot or seedless raspberry jam (we used raspberry)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to almost a boil
over medium heat, whisking occasionally to incorporate the honey.
Mixture will be slightly foamy. 

2. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an
airtight container. Keep refrigerated until ready to bottle. 

3. To serve, reheat sbiten in a saucepan, whisking occasionally. Serve
hot and foamy in small glasses with cinnamon stick for garnish. **

**We added rum to increase the potency.

No, not that Pam Anderson. Anyway, these are delicious. I used half butter and
half coconut oil which gave them great coconut undertones. They look kinda plain
so you can drizzle a little melted white chocolate on top if you are going for
aesthetic appeal.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 cup whole wheat flour
  * 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  * 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  * 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  * 1 cup granulated sugar
  * 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  * 1 teaspoon vanilla
  * 1 egg
  * 1/2 tablespoon grated orange zest
  * 3 tablespoons orange juice

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and cocoa: set aside.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter
until light and fluffy.  Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat
until smooth. Beat in vanilla and eggs, then orange zest and juice. 
With mixer on low speed, gradually beat in reserved flour-cocoa mixer.

Drop dough by teaspoons, about 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets
(lightly oiled or with parchment paper). Bake in preheated 350 degree
oven about 9 minutes or until cookies are firm to touch.  Let cookies
cool slightly on baking sheets, then use a spatula to transfer them to a
wire rack to cool completely.

From the kitchen of South Beach Diet Cookbook

This southern Italian soup features white beans. Choose from great Northern
beans, cannellini beans, or any other white bean you happen to have on hand.

Serves 6.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 11/2 pounds Swiss chard, escarole or beet greens, trimmed
  * 6 cups chicken broth
  * 1 clove garlic, crushed
  * 1 cup cooked white beans
  * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  * 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  * Grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
  * Red-pepper flakes, for garnish

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the
greens and cook for 7 minutes, or until barely tender. Drain the greens,
squeezing out as much water as possible.*

Bring the broth to a simmer in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add
the garlic and greens. If using canned white beans, place them in a
strainer and rinse them under cold running water to remove excess
sodium. Add the beans to the broth. Simmer gently, partially covered,
for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper to taste.**

Ladle the soup into heated bowls. Pass the cheese and pepper flakes at
the table.

*This can be done several hours before cooking in the soup. it is not
necessary to cut the greens, because they will break apart while they
cook in the soup.

**Do not add the salt before the soup has finished cooking, or it may
become too salty.

Black beans seem to have a meatier, almost smoky flavor compared to other beans.
In this sandwich they add depth and creamy texture as well as fiber and other
nutrients to a traditional sloppy Joe.

Serves 6

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 tsp oil, preferably olive
  * 1 onion, chopped
  * 1 garlic clove, minced
  * 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  * 1 pound ground turkey
  * 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomato
  * 1/4 cup tomato paste
  * 1 tbsp mustard (such as spicy brown)
  * 2 tsp chili powder
  * 1 tsp cumin
  * 1/2 tsp salt
  * 1/4 tsp black pepper
  * 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  * 6 hamburger buns (or Kaiser rolls)
  * 1 cup shredded light Cheddar cheese

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Heat oil over medium/high heat in a large skillet. Add onion,
      garlic and green pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add turkey, tomato,
      tomato paste, mustad, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and
      cook, stirring, as mixture comes to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
   2. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in black beans and
      cook 2 minutes, or until beans are warmed through.
   3. Spoon mixture onto buns, top with cheese, close sandwiches and
      serve immediately (before the bread disintegrates).

You can also place the sandwiches under the broiler and melt the cheese,
or top the buns with the cheese and heat them in the toaster over or
oven briefly to melt the cheese right on the bread. The latter method
makes less mess.

Sweet, spicy, juicy, a touch tart. Use 4 cups in a whole wheat pie crust for a
delicious treat. This will debut at Thanksgiving 2005. Cant wait!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 5 lbs finely chopped green tomatoes
  * 4 cups finely chopped peeled tart apples
  * 1 3/4 cup raisens
  * 1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  * 1 cup sugar
  * 1/3 cup vinegar (we used apple cider)

  * 2 tbsp minced lemon peel
  * 2 tsp cinnamon
  * 1 tsp salt
  * 1/2 tsp allspice
  * 1/2 tsp cloves
  * 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  * 1 cup water (if needed)

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

Place all ingredients into a large dutch oven. Add some water if needed.
I think we ended up using only about 1/2 cup.
Bring to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until thickened or desired consistancy is
reached.
You can pack into hot jars and process for 25 minutes in a boiling water
bath. Or you can toss in a tuperware and throw it in the freezer.

    Dumpling, Butternut, etc)
  * 1 can diced tomatoes with juice
  * 1 bottle of your favorite dark beer
  * 1 1/2 cup cooked black beans (I used a large can by Goya)
  * 1 to 2 cups broth (veggie, beef or chicken)
  * 1 oz baking chocolate
  * dash of cinnamon
  * chopped cilantro for garnish
  * chopped green onions for garnish
  * diced avocado for garnish

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 375

In large soup pot heat olive oil. Add onions, peppers, and garlic. Lower
heat and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef or turkey
and brown. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon and cook for one
minute. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes, beer, black beans and chocolate.
Stir until chocolate is melted and is well mixed. Add broth until chili
is desired consistancy.

Cut the 'lid' off of the pumpkin. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Fill it
with chili. Replace lid and bake in oven 30-45 minutes or until pumpkin
is tender. Laddle pumkin into bowls and top with a scoop of delicious
pumpkin. Top with cilantro, green onions and avacodo.

*I used three 'small' pumpkins which still make very large servings, so
once cooked, we cut it in half and put into two bowls.

Relatively healthy, as far as cookies go. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 cup walnuts
  * 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  * 3/4 cup unbleached white flour
  * 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  * 1/8 tsp salt
  * 1 tsp cinnamon
  * 1/2 cup melted butter
  * 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  * 2 TB fruit sweetened raspberry or strawberry jam

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

   1. Preheat over to 350
   2. Finely grind walnuts in a food processor. Add the flours, cocoa
      powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix well. Transfer to medium bowl.
   3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and maple syrup
      until emulsified and thick.
   4. Add to dry ingredients, stirring to combine until all dry
      ingredients are incorporated.
   5. Form dough into walnut size balls and place on a cookie sheet.
      Make a fingerprint in each cookie and fill with a smidgen of jam.
      Cookies will not spread during baking so you can cram alot onto
      one sheet. 
   6. Cook for 13 minutes.
   7. Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire rack to
      continue cooling. 
   8. Note of caution-Jam in center of cookies is HOT when fresh from
      oven and will burn your mouth just as much as the finger you try
      to taste it with. Will also burn your toes if some should spill
      from the cookie you cant wait to eat.

      disposable foil pan. 
   2. In a grill with a cover arrange medium-hot coals around the edge
      of the grill; test for medium heat above the center of the grill. 
   3. Place the pan with the tomatoes in the center of the grill rack. 
   4. Grill, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Stroganoff - ein Klassiker, der normalerweise mit Rindfleisch zubereitet wird.
Mit Kalbfleisch wird das Gericht zu einem zarten Traum ...

Für 4 Personen: pro Person ca. 1226 kJ/293 kcal
ca. 30 Minuten Zubereitung

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 400 g Kalbsplätzli, in ca. 11/2 cm grossen Stücken
  * Bratbutter zum Braten 
  * wenig Mehl zum Bestäuben
  * 1/2 TL Salz
  * wenig Pfeffer aus der Mühle 
  * 1 EL Butter 
  * 1 Zwiebel, in feinen Ringen 
  * 1 rote Peperoni, entkernt, in feinen Streifen 
  * 200 g Champignons, in Scheibchen 
  * 1 TL Paprika
  * 1 1/2 dl Weisswein
  * 1 1/2 dl Fleischbouillon 
  * 180 g sauren Halbrahm 
  * 3 EL milden Senf 
  * 3 Essiggurken, längs in feinen Streifen 
  * Salz und Pfeffer, nach Bedarf

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Ofen auf 60 Grad vorheizen, Platte und Teller vorwärmen.
   2. Bratbutter in einer Bratpfanne heiss werden lassen, Fleisch
      portionenweise beigeben, mit Mehl bestäuben, ca. 1 Min. braten,
      herausnehmen, würzen, warm stellen. 
   3. Hitze reduzieren, restliches Bratfett mit Haushaltpapier
      auftupfen. 
   4. Butter in derselben Pfanne warm werden lassen, Zwiebel und
      Peperoni andämpfen, Champignons beigeben, ca. 1 Min. mitdämpfen,
      Paprika beigeben, mischen. 
   5. Wein und Bouillon dazugiessen, aufkochen, Flüssigkeit auf die

Tipps: Statt sauren Halbrahm Crème fraîche oder Rahm verwenden. Statt
Kalbsplätzli Rindsfilet oder Rindshuft verwenden.


Dezent und ausgewogen 
Zu einem zarten Fleischgericht wie unserem Kalbs-Stroganoff sollte es
auf keinen Fall ein schwerer, wuchtiger Wein sein: Der Mercurey AC Les
Marnes aus 100 Prozent Pinot noir-Trauben ist fruchtig, im Gaumen
lebhaft und leicht. Sein Bouquet ist harmonisch und von roten Beeren
geprägt. Preis: Fr. 12.90/75 cl

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

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 Onion
  * 4 Tomatoes
  * 4 Green hot peppers
  * 5 tbsp Butter
  * 8 Eggs
  * Salt
  * Pepper
  * 1 tsp Mild paprika powder

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Chop the onion finely.
   2. Cut a cross in the top of the tomatoes and put them in hot water.
      Remove the skins.
   3. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
   4. Wash the peppers and cut them into very small rings.
   5. Heat the butter in a big skillet. 
   6. Sautee the onion until soft, then add peppers and tomatoes and
      simmer until there isn't so much liquid left. 
   7. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper and paprika powder. Pour
      mixture over vegetables. 
   8. Let the mixture cook, then fold it over on itself and keep
      spreading it until all the eggs are cooked.

Serve on nice fresh homemade or Turkish bread.

Be careful with the peppers. Peppers used here are the Turkish kind, a
cross between paprika and hot peppers. Remove the seeds to make them
less hot.

From the kitchen of Amber

A delicious ground beef kabab. Traditionally the meat is put on flat metal
skewers and cooked over a open grill. I omit the skewers all together and use
the oven. Much easier.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 lb ground beef
  * 1 large onion or 2 medium peeled
  * 2 cloves garlic peeled
  * 1 egg
  * salt and pepper
  * 1 tsp tumeric

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put onion and garlic in food processor. process until pureed. add meat
and process until meat, onion and garlic are finely mixed and smooth.
add salt and pepper, egg and tumeric. mix for a few seconds. put meat
mixture into metal or glass container, cover and refridgerate for a few
hours or overnight.

The traditional way to make this is to put meat onto flat skewers and
grill. We usually just take a handful of the meat, shape into a long
cylinder or log (about 6 inches long, 2 inches thick).  We lay them on a
broiler pan then broil them a couple inches from the heating coils in
the oven. Cook until done to medium-well, a couple minutes on each side
(5-8 minutes for each side? a guess so make sure to check).
Serve with basmati rice, a small salad of chopped cucumber, tomato and
onion with a vinegrette.
Enjoy!

(ingredients can also be combined in a blender and blended until

Let mixture chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes. 
Heat omelette pan and dissolve about 1/2 teaspoon of butter. Pour in

If Bali is the ultimate island, then this dinner is the ultimate Bali taste.
Chicken braised in coconut milk (Opor Ayam) is a true classic of Indonesian
fare. We did change the chicken to white meat instead of the traditional
drumstick or wing. New traditions can sometimes be better than old ones.

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  * 1 pound chicken (or turkey) breast tenders
  * 1 tablespoon chicken broth
  * 1 medium onion, minced
  * 2 cloves garlic, minced
  * 3/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
  * 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
  * 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  * Pinch of ground turmeric
  * 1 cup light coconut milk (no sugar added)
  * 2 tablespoons macadamia nuts, finely ground
  * 1 teaspoon sugar substitute
  * 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  * 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
  * 2 teaspoons water
  * Chopped scallion, for garnish

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-heat. Add the chicken and
cook for 5 minutes per side, or until browned and no longer pink in the
center. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Heat the broth in the same skillet. add the onion, garlic, cilantro,
ginger, lemon peel, cumin, and turmeric and cook for 5 minutes, or until
the onion is tender but not browned. Stir in the coconut milk, nuts,
sugar substitute, and red pepper (you may need to add a little more oil
and/or water here). Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer
for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm. Do not discard the sauce in
the pan.

In a small bowl, combine the tamarind paste and water. Stir in the sauce
in the skillet and gently boil until thickened and the mixture measures
about 1 cup.

Evenly divide the chicken among 4 serving plates. Top with sauce and
garnish with scallion.

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  * 1 shallot, chopped
  * 4 to 5 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  * 3/4 cup arborio rice
  * 1/2 cup white wine
  * 3 to 3 1/2 cups simmering chicken, beef or vegetable stock, divided
  * 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  * 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  * Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep, heatproof cooking vessel.
   2. Add the shallot and mushrooms and cook over moderate heat,
      stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until they have softened
      and the pan juices have evaporated. Dish out and set aside.
   3. Heat remaining olive oil in pan. Stir in rice; cook 1 minute. Pour
      in wine and 1/2 cup simmering stock. Cook over moderate heat,
      stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has been
      absorbed.
   4. Add remaining stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each
      addition until the liquid has been absorbed. The rice is ready
      when the grains are soft and the mixture is creamy, about 25
      minutes.
   5. Stir in mushroom mixture, parsley and Parmesan cheese. Taste for
      seasoning and add salt and pepper.

This is the most aromatic and fragrant of all Indian spice blends. Used
throughout North India in all types of dishes - from appetizers and soups to
yogurt salad and main courses - this blend is indispensable to Moghul and North
Indian cooking. It is widely available, but my homemade version is more fragrant
and, of course, fresher. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 2 tablespoons cumin seeds 
  * 2 tablespoons coriander seeds 
  * 2 tablespoons cardamom seeds 
  * 2 tablespoons black peppercorns 
  * 1 (3-inch) stick cinnamon, broken up 
  * 1 teaspoon whole cloves 
  * 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg 
  * 1/2 teaspoon saffron (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put the cumin, coriander, cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves in
a dry heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the spices, stirring
occasionally, until they turn several shades darker and give off a sweet
smoky aroma, about 10 minutes. Do not raise the heat to quicken the
process, or the spices will brown prematurely, leaving the insides
undercooked. Cool completely. 

Working in batches if necessary, transfer the mixture to a spice mill or
coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Stir in the nutmeg and saffron.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. 

Garam Masala keeps for 3 months. 

Yield: Makes about 1/2 cup

From the kitchen of <a href="http://www.honeysucklewhite.com/recipes/recipe.jsp?RECIPE_ID=10385">Honeysuckle White</a>

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1/2 cup lemon juice (concentrate is fine)
  * 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  * 3 cups red wine (cheap is fine!)
  * 4 cups apple cider vinegar
  * 2 tablespoons onion powder
  * 2 tablespoons paprika
  * 3 tablespoons parsley
  * 2 tablespoons black pepper

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine all ingredients in a covered container. Stir. Insert meat into
container. Add enough water (if needed) so that liquid totally covers
meat. Cover container and place in refrigerator. Let sit for at least 2
hours. 4 hours is better. 5-6 hours is great. (8 hours or more is
practically cooking the meat without fire!) Take container to grill.
Remove meat portions from container and place directly over fire.
Delicious! 

USE IT TWICE. If you are cooking with a smoker that uses a water pan or
steaming pan, after you have removed the meat from the container, pour
the liquid into the water pan. Extra flavor will steam into your meat as
it cooks.

From the kitchen of Melissa Morris

Chicken riggies originated in Utica, New York and these are an excellent version
of them!  You can make them as hot or not as you would like just by adjusting
the cherry peppers!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken cubed
  * olive oil
  * 4 cloves garlic minced
  * l medium onion, chopped
  * 1 small can tomato sauce
  * 1/2 cup chicken broth
  * 11/2 tsp parsley
  * 1 1/2 tsp basil
  * 1 green pepper chopped
  * sliced mushrooms
  * 6-8 cherry peppers, chopped and seeded
  * 1 stick margarine or butter
  * 1 lb rigatoni, cooked al dente

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cook chicken in olive oil and set aside.  Saute remaining ingredients 25
mins. Add chicken and heat.
Pour over cooked rigatoni and sprinkle with grated cheese.
You might need to add a little more chicken broth if you like them
creamier,  I usually end up using almost a whole 15 oz. can but you can
adjust it to your liking.  Serve at once!

Translation from German into English for the spice paste packet for Chicken
Mahkani.

Mmm mmm good. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 package spice paste mix for Indian Butter Chicken Makhani
  * 1 pound chicken breast; cut into bite-size pieces
  * 1 large onion; finely diced
  * 1/2 cup fresh or canned tomatoes; diced (I usually add a little
    extra tomato)
  * 1/2 cup water
  * 1/2 cup heavy cream (I usually use light cream and it works okay
    too)
  * 3 tablespoons butter; melted

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   2. Add the onion; sauté 3 minutes.
   3. Add the tomato, water, cream and spice packet; stir.
   4. Add the chicken.
   5. Lower heat to medium-low.
   6. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink
      inside.

Note: Serve with basmati rice, extra cream and mango chutney.
I usually also make "lassi"
<https://www.earthli.com/recipes/view_recipe.php?id=104>, "chai"
<https://www.earthli.com/recipes/view_recipe.php?id=105> and "rice

pulao instead of plain basmati rice). All of those recipes can also be

From the kitchen of Kathleen Van Evera

I actually got this recipe from Gabi Von Ballmoos. 

Adjust the amounts of spices to suit your personal taste.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * large pot of water
  * 2-5 dried red chili peppers [1]
  * 3 10cm cinnamon sticks
  * 18-22 whole cloves
  * 18-22 cardamom pods, or about 11/2 teaspoon ground cardamom in
    cheese cloth or a tea ball
  * 3 black tea bags or equivalent of loose black tea
  * milk (optional)
  * sugar (optional)

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


[1] Use two if you're not used to spicy foods -- and five if you like-a
    the spicy.

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Add chili peppers, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and cardamom to
      large pot of water. 
   2. Heat to boiling.
   3. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. (I press the chili peppers against
      the side of the pot once or twice for a little extra kick. ;-) )
   4. If you'd like to add black tea, do so now and steep to desired
      strength. (I usually steep it for about another 20 minutes.)
   5. Remove the spices.
   6. If desired, add milk and/or sugar to taste. (Milk and sugar take
      away some of the bite if your Chai is a little too spicy. Milk and
      sugar can also be added individually after served.)
   7. Pour into serving containers.

Sooooo yummy. When I made it, I didn't have any turmeric, carrots, raisins or
nuts, so I didn't put them in. It was still delicious. And I didn't use as much
oil either. I used maybe half of what the recipe calls for.

Recipe originally found at from "Recipe Source"
<http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/indian/04/rec0449.htm>

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  * 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  * 1 garlic clove, chopped
  * 10 whole cloves
  * 1 cinnamon stick
  * 10 cardamom pods
  * 2 bay leaves
  * 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
  * 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
  * 3 cups hot water
  * 1 teaspoon salt
  * 1 cups frozen mixed peas & carrots
  * 1/2 cup golden raisins
  * 1/4 cup almonds or cashews

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1. Heat the oil in a large pot. 
   2. Sauté the onion until soft, and add the chopped garlic. 
   3. Then "splutter fry" the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves and
      turmeric powder for 30 seconds to 1 minute. 
   4. Lower the heat and add the rice. 
   5. Continue to fry and stir until the rice is well-coated with the
      spices and starts to become transparent. 
   6. Add hot water (exactly double the measure of basmati rice), add
      salt and cover the pan. 
   7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. 
   8. Stir in peas and carrots and cover. 
   9. Check the rice every 5 minutes or so to see whether the water has
      been absorbed and the rice has become tender (taste a grain to
      test it). 
   10. When the rice is done, fry the raisins and almonds in a little
       oil and mix into the rice. 
   11. Do not overcook the rice -- it will get sticky.
