Having trouble keeping up with these recipes? I found a free program that works pretty nice.

Punkin stuff

Crust:

1 box butter recipe yellow cake mix (set aside 1 cup)
1 stick melted butter
1 egg

Mix and "pour" in bottom of pan. It will be really thick so you will have to press it into place some.


Filling:

2 cup pumpkin (I have used canned, fresh and frozen from earlier in the year, adjust for liquid using fresh/frozen)
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg

*if using fresh/frozen pumpkin, add a pinch of salt

Mix and pour over crust.

Topping:
1 cup cake mix
1/4-1/2 stick soft butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Mix and sprinkle on top

Bake at 350 about 45 minutes.

I can't find the recipe so this is from memory. If I do find it and something is different, I will edit this but I think it is right (the only thing I am concerned about is the amount of spices for the cloves, ginger and nutmeg-they may be short). Also, I have adjusted based on what ingredients I did or didn't have on hand and never had a problem

No not those kind of rats.


Take a bunch of jalapenos, cut the tops off, and split them down the middle. Scoop the seeds out. Spoon some cream cheese into the jalapeno half, top with a small piece of chicken breast, wrap with half a strip of bacon. Throw them on the grill until the bacon is good and cooked, no need to flip em. If you don't have a grill throw them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven at about that temperature. It's been awhile since I cooked em in the oven, but I think it was around 400. Gauranteed you will not be able to eat just one.

Does anyone have a good recipe for Chicken Marsala?

We have a new restaurant in town that serves it and it is wonderful.

My husband and I just had some for dinner this evening; it seems like it would not be that difficult to make. I did a search but haven't been successful yet.

If anyone has a recipe, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

I haven't tried this but everything I have fixed of his was very good. My guess is this would be too:


Chicken Marsala Recipe
courtesy Tyler Florence and JoAnn Cianciulli

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
8 ounces crimini or porcini mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Slip the cutlets into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden, turning once – do this in batches if the pieces don't fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings in the pan, saute for 1 minute to render out some of the fat. Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the butter and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

This is really good...I can attest to that. I am makine my second one this week.

I ammended it to add the one cup of sugar listed to go in the topping to the filling. No sugar needed in topping.

Or, I have a Refrigerator Cookie Dough recipe, for Christmas Cookies?

That does sound good! Never heard of using Yellow Cake mix for
the crust before...I take that back, one friend of mine has used it for a creamy fruit pie crust.

Sounds great! I might try that!

Since it's the holiday season, I thought I'd pass on my turkey recipe. (It's a bit expensive, because of the black truffles, but it is so worth it.)

First step is to marinate the bird overnight in a Coca-Cola and salt-water brine. Use about a 2L bottle of coke, add a bunch of ice, and use enough salt-water to cover the bird. (I usually just toss it together, so no real measurements in this recipe.)

The next day, before cooking the bird, you'll need to do some prep.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

First, mince a couple black truffles, and knead into some room temperature butter (1/4# should be fine). Once everything is mixed together, rub the butter between the skin and the meat, applying liberally.

Next, cut 2 apples and an onion into wedges. Toss apple and onion wedges, fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme into the cavity. Rub plain butter (no truffles) over the skin and season lightly with salt and pepper.

REDUCE HEAT TO 350 DEGREES!!!!!!!

Place turkey into roasting pan, tuck wing tips under the bird, and tie legs together loosely. Put turkey into oven and allow to roast for 1 hour. Pour 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup apple cider, and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar over the bird. Roast for another hour, and then baste with pan drippings.

Continue roasting, and basting, until thermometer reads 175 degrees when stuck into the thickest part of the bird. (Cover loosely with foil if it begins to brown too quickly.) Once turkey is finished, allow it to rest about 20-30 minutes before serving.

While turkey is resting, prepare gravy. Pour pan juices into a measuring cup and spoon fat off of the top and toss. Put roasting pan on stove burners and return the pan juices to the pan. Add sifted flour to the gravy and allow to come to boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until gravy reduces slightly and thickens, being sure to scrape up any browned bits of the pan (fond). Season to taste with salt and pepper, and strain into gravy server.

It's been a year since I did this recipe, and I've never written it down before; I pretty much did it from muscle memory, as it were. So, there aren't any quantities listed, and you may want to tweak it to your preferences.

[SouthernGal]

8 potatos, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
8 cups milk (I use fat free plus)
8 oz sour cream (regular OR light is fine)
2 cups shredded velveeta (comes pre-packaged)
1/4 cup chopped onion
salt & pepper to taste

Microwave or steam potatos until tender. While cooking potatos, melt butter. Add flour and milk. Heat at Medium. Add sour cream, onions, salt & pepper. Melt velveeta into mixuture until smooth. Add potatos and cook on Medium until done. Top with bacon bits and grated cheddar.

Note--you may also had a small bit of neufatchel cheese (cream cheese) for more zing.

My old family recipe for baked corn pudding. It gets RAVE reviews at every holiday gathering. Enjoy!

BAKED CORN PUDDING

4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg


Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth but not runny. Pour batter into baking dish. Bake pudding until brown and center is just set, about 60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; serve.

Makes 8 side-dish servings.

*To reduce the fat, try using ALL milk instead of the heavy cream and adding about 3 Tablespoons of corn meal to thicken it and help it set up.

[Wulfenite]

Wow, that sounds good. My litle one is a corn bread fiend, I'm sure he'd like that.
