good, but not enough cookies for a large, Italian family's get-together. you've just got to have enough for everyone to take some home. otherwise, dough is silky, easy to handle, and very tasty.
I took an Italian cookie making class years ago, and the lady teaching it taught us to make the filling days ahead of the cookies. Then, place the filling (half full) into zip top baggies, flatten, and freeze/refrigerate. When you are ready to make the cookies, slice open the sides of the baggie, and cut strips of filling with a long straight knife. It is then extremely easy to place the strips of filling on the rolled out dough that can be cut with a pizza cutter.
This is the same recipe that comes with the Certo brand pectin, except that it calls for APPLE CIDER VINEGAR! This is the key. Also, instead of food processor, draining, cheese cloth, etc., just hand chop the peppers. They won't be watery at all! I have also added toasted, chopped pecans to my jelly jars as I pour in the hot jelly. It makes a great Christmas gift. (Add red or green food color when cooking jelly)
This was the easiest quickest way to get my kids to eat beans (husband, too). I didn't have regular corn, so I used cream corn, and it worked just fine. I also did not add the chilis this time since I didn't know how spicy it would be. It had enough taste, but was not very spicy at all. We did have cheddar cheese, sour cream, and little soup crackers for everyone to add, and they did. Lastly, we used deer meat instead of beef...no need to drain the fat! (This is my favorite deer recipe now). Addendum: This time I used last night's leftover hamburger patties, broken up. I also used regular ranch dressing instead of the powder, about 2-3 tbsp. Couldn't tell the difference! I love recipes that work with what I've got in the house!!
Used this for Valentine's teacher gifts! We bought pink spoons from the party store & put them in heart print cello bags. Was a big hit.
Came out great!! Served with full Cinco de Mayo buffet. Most people put it over the yellow rice. Watch how much chile/adobo you add - can get very hot quickly.
This is good, but to make a really southern treat, use Nutter Butter Cookies instead of vanilla wafers. This makes a Peanut Butter Banana Pudding! My friend's son eats a PB&B sandwich every day and he loves this version!!
I haven't tried this as written,because I didn't have the exact ingredients, but it still came out great. I used half of a leftover rotisserie chicken, no corn, and crushed tortilla chips instead of flour tortillas, then ran the immersion blender through the crockpot. Also, since I didn't have the can of chicken broth, I used a can of cream of chicken; that also made it creamy instead of broth-like. It tasted great, and I do plan to repeat the recipe as written for an upcoming party. I'll update then!
Being that this is listed under healthy cooking, I am amazed at how many people said they added butter, heavy cream, marinated artichokes, oil, etc. If you need more sauce, let the butter, onion, & garlic mixture, artichokes(in water) & tomatoes cook down in some chicken broth. Add more flavor and less calories by using more herbs.
I used the chopper attachment on my immersion blender and had no problems grinding the almonds. My daughter likes a heavy almond tasting cake - almost like and almond snowball if you've ever had one in New Orleans - so I put 2 Tablespoons Almond extract and no vanilla. I also brushed the warm cake with Amaretto. She decided this was her favorite cake, and is the recipe she wants me to use for her Sweet 16 party. It does work well in a 11 x 13 pan, but I reduced the time to 45 minutes. The Baker's Joy tip worked perfectly. I think I will use a parchment paper pan liner when I do the one for her party.
Yummy! I had these in a New Orleans restaurant (RioMar) with a hanger steak and chimichuri sauce; it was fabulous. I want it all the time now. And yes, add salt and garlic to the fries after frying - you won't regret it!
