yes I do.

My favorite cheeseball recipe:

One cup white cheddar shredded
One package (8oz) cream cheese
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp worcestershire sauce.
one cup ground fresh parsley
half cup chopped pecans or walnuts


Soak dried cranberries in 2tbs grand marnier for fifteen minutes.

using mixer mix the white cheddar and room temperature cream cheese. When it is well mixed stir in the cranberries and the worcestershire sauce.

mix the parsley and nuts togther. place on saran wrap. form the cheese mix into a log and roll it in the parsley/nut mixture. place in refrigerator.

This takes ten minutes to make and is delicious.

another one which is yummy:

1-8oz. Cream Cheese Package, Room Temperature
1 Cup (250 ml) Shredded Sharp or Old Cheddar Cheese
½tsp. (2.5 ml) Lemon Juice
1 tsp. (5 ml) Worcestershire Sauce
1 tbsp. Emeril essence
½ cup (125 ml) Chopped Pecans or Walnuts (reserve a few halves for garnish) or ½ cup (125 ml) Parsley.

Add 1 tbsp.(15 ml) Spice Mix to the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Let sit for 5 to 10 min. to re-hydrate the spices. In the meantime, mix cream cheese and cheddar cheese together. Then mix in the spices, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices. Shape into a ball. Roll the ball in the chopped nuts or parsley or a mixture of both. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate a minimum of 2-3 hours. Also freezes well. Serve at room temperature with your favorite crackers.

Today I made my Taco Soup recipe that's a few posts above here. Instead of the 15 oz can of diced tomatoes and the 8 oz can of tomato sauce, I put two 10 oz cans of Rotel tomatoes. Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Spicy and delicious. I love this soup! It's so easy and good. You all should try it!

I could have sworn that there was a recipe in here for Beer Butt Chicken.

I was getting dizzy scrolling thru the archives looking for it, so I may have missed it. I have a whole chicken in my freezer and I've been wanting to try this.

If anyone can post the recipe again or knows where I can find it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Lobster, you're not nuts. I remember the recipe, too. I don't know where it is, though! I know it had something to do with a can of beer up the...INSIDE...of the chicken...

I made these tonight. I swear they're so good they make my toes curl. It's a fun-size Snickers bar buried inside of a peanut butter cookie. Needless to say, they're NOT Atkins friendly (or ANY diet friendly for that matter!).

SNICKERS BAR COOKIES

1/2 c. butter or oleo
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 t. vanilla
1 egg
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
10 Snickers fun-size candy bars

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, vanilla and egg. Add flower, baking powder, baking soda and salt to sugar mixture; mix well. Chill dough for about an hour.

Shape about 1/3 cup dough smoothly around each candy bar making sure bar is completely covered. Place 3-4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.

NOTE: Can be made as cookie pops: Securely insert a wooden stick into small end of each candy bar forming a lollipop before wrapping the dough around the candy bar and baking it.

ANOTHER NOTE: These cookies are soooo good. I've definitely found a new peanut butter cookie recipe too with this dough.

here's a recipe my dh cooked for me when i first met him. delicious (even though it may sound horrible).

chicken
apricot nectar juice from the can (i use kern's). make it in to a thick sauce and let it marinate in the chicken.

add whatever you like (in my case):

mushrooms, black olives, sauteed onions (not raw!).

i serve it with green string beans (with yogurt on top is nice), and red/white potatoes.

Does anyone have this recipe?
My MIL used to make it, but she died 1 1/2 yrs ago and I never got the recipe from her, and no one has found it in her kitchen!

It is a pumpkin dessert. It's usually made in a 13x9 pan. The pumpkin part is like a pudding texture, very creamy. It is spread in the pan. The topping is like an oat or streusel-type topping. It is chilled in the fridge, and then you put whipped cream on it when you serve it.

I've looked in all my recipe books and hers, and I've looked online, I haven't found anything that sounds the same as this.

Anyone have a good recipe for Cuban Picadillo?

I have a hankering for it for dinner, and I've only had it in Miami, never made it myself...

I've searched the recipe sites and found that there are a TON of variations... so I thought I'd see if anyone here has a favorite (tested) recipe! Thanks... Yankee

OK, so I'm making picadillo right now -- a recipe I got off of allrecipes.com. Not sure if this is a good one -- it seems different than what I've had -- so anyone out there who might have a recipe (of the Cuban variety, especially), please share it!!!

Texannie -- I don't like the raisins either! I'm leaving those out this time and always pick them out in the restaurants... I love "fresh" raisins but hate them cooked in anything...

Not that anyone cares -- LOL -- but the picadillo I made tonight was very good, but also very different from what I've had in the Miami Cuban restaurants. Made enough that I think I'm going to use it for taco fillers tomorrow!

Anyone have any suggestions for Beef Stew?

I have the following ingredients:

Potatoes
Peas
Onions/Peppers
Green Beans
Beef Cubes
Mushroom Gravy

I figured that I would throw everything into a pot along with thickened beef broth....is there anything else I should be including?

If you fry your beef cubes and onions first you'll get a hardier flavour, SBG. Any root vegetable pretty much goes well with a stew, too. Got any carrots, rutabakers, parsnips etc?

SBG, this would be PERFECT for your CROCKPOT!!!!!!!
I would lightly brown your stew meat in a little olive oil (I don't use flour). Then saute the onions and peppers. Toss in everything else along with enough water to make a stock and simmer it till all is tender (maybe an hour). }

Lumby, not into carrots, so that's out....this is my first one, and I am visualizing what was in it when we used to eat it as children.

<Runs after Texaco for mentioning that WORD, lol!>....Hmmmm, I never thought of sauteeing the meat, I was going to put it in the George Foreman Roaster. Well, I will follow the lead of you guys and sautee the beef, onions/peppers and go from there.

Thanks!!
