I found this recipe in the Cooking Light September 2007 issue. The recipe is from Jean Patterson, and it was originally published by Cooking Light in September 2003. It was good, but probably not something I’ll make again. I still prefer the classic banana bread. Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces) 3/4 teaspoon [...]

Published by November 26th, 2007 in 4 Stars, Asian, Crock Pot, Poultry and Soups and Chilis. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from Best-Loved Slow Cooker Recipes, and this recipe is the reason I bought this cookbook. It didn’t disappoint either. I deviated from the recipe to make it my own, and it was delicious. It’s thick, filling, and tasty. The great thing about this soup is that you can pretty much put anything [...]
Tiramisu Cake
Published by November 25th, 2007 in 4 Stars, Dessert, Easy Preparation and Italian. 0 CommentsIf you love tiramisu, you’ll love this cake. It’s super easy to make, and you don’t have to worry about finding lady fingers or mascarpone cheese at your local grocery store. This recipe comes from the Betty Crocker Cookies, Bars and Cakes magazine, but I changed it up a bit. Ingredients: CAKE: 1 box of [...]
We had quite the fest today. Rather than list all the recipes in one post I’ll post each recipe separately. Since our kids have been born this is the first Thanksgiving we’ve celebrated with just us. It was probably one of the best Thanksgivings ever! The food was fabulous too!
Smoked Chicken
Published by November 22nd, 2007 in 5 Stars, Dry Rub, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Poultry and Thanksgiving. 0 CommentsWe (more accurately, -s) smoked 2 chickens for our Thanksgiving dinner. They were unbelievably delicious. One was marinated overnight in our favorite spicy bbq sauce and the other had a dry rub. Both were fabulous, but my favorite was the one with the dry rub. The dry rub gave the chicken such great flavor. We [...]

Grandma’s Turkey Stuffing/Dressing
Published by November 22nd, 2007 in 5 Stars, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Sides, Thanksgiving and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsStuffing vs. Dressing: Stuffing is cooked in the bird and dressing is cooked outside the bird. This here is my grandmother’s recipe (with a few alterations by yours truly), and Thanksgiving without grandma’s stuffing isn’t Thanksgiving at all. This recipe has been passed down from my grandmother (haven’t a clue where she originally got the [...]

Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Turkey Sausage
Published by November 21st, 2007 in 3 Stars, Cooking Light, Easy Preparation, Kid Approved and Poultry. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from the Cooking Light, October 2007 issue. It was pretty good, and the kids liked it. -s said it tasted like red beans and rice, which he likes, but he likes his spicier. So if we make it again, we need to buy regular Tobasco sauce for him to use. I wouldn’t [...]
