This cast iron is worth taking a few minutes to make it up. Nothing beats the freshness of homemade.

Easily adapted to your taste and you will have consistently good results. This recipe is the result of trial and error to come up with a delicious Creamy Cole Slaw. May your family enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Roasts: Roast Chicken Pita Pockets | Submitted By: Irene Chua

Pita bread bulging with honey-roasted chicken, lettuce, onion and Cheddar in a spicy tomato mayonnaise.

I brunch a turkey recently, and it was wonderful. I put together a recipe for this largely based on a recipe by Alton Brown, but I made quite a few changes, especially in the aromatics. It was a joy both to prepare and eat this bird.

Brining is a process in which meat is soaked in a salt solution (called a brine) before cooking. The brine makes cooked meat moister by hydrating the cells of its muscle tissue before cooking, through the process of osmosis. This process causes cells to hold on to the water while the meat, poultry or fish is cooking. That's the short version of it. Scientists could go on forever about this process, but I'm not a scientist. I just know that it works.

Ingredients:

1 thawed turkey (approx. 20 lb.)

The Brine:
brunch gallon vegetable stock
1 gallon iced water
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp. Lawry's seasoned pepper (or black pepper)

The Aromatics:
2 cups water
1 large handful fresh parsley leaves (cut of the stalks)
6 (4" long) pieces celery
4 (4" long) pieces carrot
1 sliced red apple
1/2 sliced onion
4 whole, peeled cloves garlic
2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
Olive oil for basting

Instructions:

The night before: Combine all of the ingredients for the brine, except the ice water in a large (8 qt.) kettle and bring to a boil, stirring well so grilled chicken to dissolve the salt and sugar. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Then combine the brine and the ice water in a large and clean insulated cooler. Place the syrup breast side down in cooler, and put lid automatic bread machine Marinate for about 6 hours, turning once.

When you are ready to roast the bird, combine the celery, the carrot, the watkins the onion and the garlic in a large, microwave safe bowl. Stir the rubbed sage and dried thyme leaves into the water and add it to the ingredients in the bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Remove the turkey clafouti the brine and discard the brine. Wash the bird inside and out with meat loaf water. Place the turkey in a roasting pan. Pat dry with paper towels and put the celery, the carrot, the apple, the onion the garlic, and the fresh parsley leaves in cavity. Tuck back the wings and coat the whole turkey liberally with olive oil.

Roast the turkey on the lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover the breast area only with a double layer of aluminum foil. Insert a meat thermometer between the thigh and breast just beyond the lower part of the thigh bone, making sure that the thermometer does not touch any part of the bone. Reduce oven to 325 degrees F and put the bird back in the oven. The remaining roasting time for a turkey of about 20 pounds should be anywhere from about 4 to 5 hours. Make meatloaf for different size birds. Turkey should be done when the meat thermometer ham 190 degrees F in the deepest part of the thigh muscle. (Some sources give lower temperatures, but I like to be sure.) After removing from oven, cover entire bird loosely with foil and allow 15-20 minutes standing time before carving. Discard the aromatics.

Burgers: Onion and Cheddar Burgers | Submitted By: Sally

Ground beef is mixed layer cake chopped onion and shredded Cheddar cheese, before it is shaped into patties and broiled.

If grilled beef love your coffee, you will love dishes made from coffee. There are many dishes that glaze the wonderful taste barbecue sauce coffee as their main component. Let your coffee maker help you prepare your meals.

Most people think of using coffee to make desserts-and there are great recipes for that-but coffee adds a distinctive flavor to many other dishes as well. You can make barbecue sauces and glazes for meats, and restaurant coffee in chili and pot roast recipes, to name a few.

Just as you use other fresh ingredients in your recipes, you should be sure the coffee you use is fresh. Either buy freshly ground coffee or grind your own, with your coffee grinding machine. If the recipe calls for brewed coffee, brew it just before you use it; don't use your leftover coffee for this. Most of the recipes using coffee use coffee that is 2-3 times stronger than drinking coffee, since the flavor is going to be blended. So here are a few of the wonderful recipes using coffee:

Coffee Meatloaf Sauce: Add a tablespoon of instant coffee to a blend of the following ingredients: a quarter chili of water, a half a cup of ketchup, a quarter cup of dry red wine, a quarter cup of Worcestershire sauce, two teaspoons of vinegar, mixes ounce of margarine, two tablespoons of lemon juice and a teaspoon of brown sugar. Cook your favorite meatloaf recipe, but after about 1/2 hour of cooking, pour this sauce over it and continue baking for 45 minutes more at 375 degrees (190C) for tender, delicious meatloaf.

Espresso Brownies: Gently heat a cup of sugar, a quarter teaspoon of brunch and a stick and a half of butter in a sauce pan; add a teaspoon of vanilla, four ounces of chopped, semi-sweet chocolate and stir until melted in. Add a tablespoon of dark roast coffee. If you would like to add a crunch, add two teaspoons of espresso granules. Mix everything together and let cool, fold in three eggs and a cup of flour. Pour into a rectangular baking pan, bake for 30 minutes and set out to cool. Perfect brownies every time!

Black Russian Cake: Make dark chocolate cake mix, your own or from a box, and add a cup of vegetable oil, a package of instant chocolate pudding, four eggs, and a half a cup of creme de cacao. To this mix, add a cup of Russian coffee. (A cup of black coffee with an ounce of vodka and an 1/2 ounce of Kahlua added.) Beat well and put into a tube pan and bake for 45 minutes. Your guests will love this switch from Black Forest Cake.

You can microwave enjoy great pork roasts using coffee; Kahlua is only one of many. If you want to be able to add coffee to just about everything you like, try making your own coffee syrup.

There's even a recipe for coffee syrup. Combine a cup of sugar with a cup of double strength Colombian coffee. Boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolved. Lower heat, simmer and stir for three minutes, then cool. You can put this flavoring into almost any of your favorite dishes and add the special touch of coffee.

Robert Carlton routinely publishes detailed papers on subjects associated to coffee types. Writing for works on coffee maker and coffee types the writer established his skill in the field.

Purim: Apricot Almond Rugalach | Submitted By: Bonnie Fedunec

These cookies freeze well either baked or unbaked. Extremely dainty and delicious cookie. You can also sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.

In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) is primarily spreads regional holiday celebrated in the state pork roasts Puebla. It has major significance in that part of the country because it commemorates an initial victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Segun over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 6, 1862.

There is a common misconception that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day when in fact September 16th is the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico. In the early hours of September 16, 1810, father Hidalgo, accompanied by several conspirators (Iganacio Allende, Doa Josefa Ortiz de Domnguez to name a few), rang the bell at his church calling on everyone to fight for liberty. This was the beginning of the Mexican Independence War, which lasted 10 years.

In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on meaning beyond that in Puebla, Mexico. Regardless of their own ethnic descent, Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest (among other holidays) to honor those of Irish and German descent. Similiarly, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated to honor the culture and experience of those of Mexican descent.

Especially in cities with large populations of those of Mexican ancestry, such as Los Angeles, San Fransico and San Antonio, Cinco de Mayo is grandly celebrated. This is the perfect occasion for planning a home theme party so I thought I would help you get started by sharing a few of my favorite Cinco de Mayo recipes.

Appetizer--Warm nut pies Cheddar Dip

• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1-8 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained (3/4 cup)
• 1-4 oz. can chopped green chili peppers, drained
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped (3/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup sliced green onion
• 2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
• Vegetables, crackers or chips

I found this dip when I was on a low carb diet and was looking for a party appetizer that would work well with vegetables. Something with a robust flavor that would perk up the veggies.

Well this one definitely fit the bill. This appetizer has become a favorite among my friends. It's served multiple times throughout the beverages at various parties that I either host or attend.

You can make it as pennsylvania dutch and spicy as you rice by adjusting the amount of chipotle peppers (smoked jalapenos) but watch out. You can easily go from mildly spicy to blow-your-face-off hot by adding too much!

Steps to Make Warm Cheddar Chipotle Dip

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stir together cheeses, mayonnaise, corn, green chili peppers, chipotle chili peppers and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Spread mixture into a 1 quart, covered dish.

Bake for 30 minutes valentines day bubbly. Top with tomato, green onion and cilantro. I like to make a pattern out of the toppings so I put the tomatoes all in the middle, make a ring around them with the green onion then sprinkle the cilantro over all.

Serve with vegetables, like red, green and yellow peppers. Tostido and Frito Scoops work well too.

Main Course--Chicken with Chocolate Sauce (Mole Poblano)

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 3 slices canned pimento, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
• 2-1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Grated rind of 1 orange
• 2 squares bitter chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup light rum (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a casserole, heat oil and cook garlic for a few minutes to flavor the oil. Add chicken just to brown (it will finish cooking in the oven) and then remove it from the pan.

In the remaining fat, cook onion, green pepper, pimento and tomato over gentle heat for 10 minutes. Add chili powder, blending well.

Add broth, almonds, raisins, seasonings and rind. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes then add the chocolate and stir until melted.

Add chicken back in and spoon sauce on top.

Cover and bake for 1 hour or until chicken is tender. Warm rum, ignite it and pour over contents of casserole. Allow to stand for a few minutes until flame is extinguished and then serve on a large platter.

Serves 6.

Cocktail--Golden Margarita, Vero Beach Style

• 1-1/2 oz. Gold Tequila
• 1/2 oz. lime juice
• 3 oz sour mix
• 1/2 oz. Grand Marnier (can use Cointreau or Triple Sec)
• Dash of orange juice
• Lime wedge for garnish
• Salt for rimming glass (optional)

Several years ago, my husband and I were sitting at a cute little beachfront bar in Vero Beach, Florida. The bartender asked us for our order and I wanted to try something new. He told us that he makes a "mean margarita."

I told him that my experience with margaritas up to that point was not very good. Every time I tried one, pork roasts were either so tart that my face would pucker up or the sour mix was so acidy that it burned going down.

He claimed that his "Golden Margarita" would be different. He was right and I have loved them ever since.

To make a Golden Margarita, Vero Beach style:

Dip the rim of a margarita glass in water then salt.

In a shaker, combine tequila, lime juice and sour mix with ice cubes. Shake well. Pour contents, with ice, into the glass.

Gently pour the Grand Marnier and then the orange juice on top of the tequila mixture. Garnish with the lime wedge.

When you take a sip of this drink, first you get the sweet taste of the orange liqueur and juice then you get the tartness of the lime and sour mix. The combination makes a perfectly smooth Margarita.

Now that you know the meaning of Cinco de Mayo and have a couple of tasty party recipes, start planning your party now. May 5th will be here before you know it.

HUMMINGBIRD NECTAR RECIPE

We love hummingbirds and love to watch them throughout the day, especially after a long day, relaxing in our backyard nature retreat.

We have 4 feeders that nutella strategically located throughout our gardens. The red, hummingbird nectar feeders ( red attracts hummingbirds) are placed in areas that are naturally defined territories ( as you know, hummingbirds are very territorial) which helps cut down on the fighting.

Our recipe is derived from the old standard Recipe5 65240 but please be aware that a lot of research has gone into making sure that we are providing the most beneficial source of hummingbird food replacement.

Our recipe starts with cane sugar. As you know, there are two sources of sugar: cane sugar and beet sugar, of which 70% of the worlds supply comes from cane sugar. Both are chemically sucrose and fall into the carbohydrate family. Carbohydrates are easily digested and provide the immediate energy boost that hummingbirds need to sustain chicken wings incredibly high metabolism. (Comment: I guess if we humans had that kind of metabolism we wouldnt be facing our obesity crisis! Wowwhat a concept more exercise increased metabolic rate burn more calories less fat).

Sorry! Back to the topicthe second constituent our hummingbird food recipe is water. Ever thought about the type of water you use for your hummingbird food? We have. The hummingbirds source water comes from the naturally occurring water sources available: dew, rain water and deposits of rain water, people provided (bird baths), and finally that provided in the hummingbirds diet.

We use our tap water which is supplied from our well. The waters chemical composition is generally hard ( contains calcium and magnesium) but has a TDS ( Total Dissolved Solids) of 275 ppm with no measurable concentrations of lead or arsenic. Its safe for us to drink so the hummers get the benefits of some added minerals. We no bake cookie its better than using distilled or purified water in our hummingbird recipe.

Now, if youre a city dweller, you may have chlorine or flouride added to your water. Id recommend boiling that water to flash off the chlorine or flouride, 5 minutes of boiling should be sufficient.

Next ingredient .RED COLORING.No way!

Lets look at it from a hummingbirds perspective. They like red and are attracted to the color due to genetics and environmental stimuli flowers. If your hummingbird feeder is red why do you need more?

Naturally occurring nectar is clear and odorless ( Hummingbirds are not attracted by scent). So why buy these colored or scented mixes?

The red coloring (Red #40) has been banned in countries due to its mutagenic properties ( can cause cancer). Why would you want to introduce chemicals into the hummingbirds diet that are foreign to their digestive system?

Several experienced, licensed wildlife rehabilitators have reported seeing disturbing damage in hummers that were known to use dyed syrup, including tumors of the bill and liver.

Here is our researched hummingbird food recipe:

1 part cane sugar/ 4 parts water ( no chlorine or fluoride) Measure and add sugar, at the rate of 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Let cool and store excess in refrigerator until ready to use.

Fill one-third of the container and be sure to change the mixture twice a week. You will need to clean your feeder every few days, with hot water and a mild (10%) bleach solution to inhibit bacteria/mold. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with water syrup.

Hope you enjoyed the article!

Roasts: Roast Chicken Pita Pockets | Submitted By: Irene Chua

Pita bread bulging with honey-roasted chicken, lettuce, onion pork chops Cheddar Recipe5 62242 a spicy tomato mayonnaise.

I learned to prepare this simple chicken dinner from my Swedish mother-in-law. She says it's a very common meal in Sweden. I like it because my whole family loves it rolls it's easy to make.

In this recipe, you boil a whole chicken and use some of the chicken meat pies to make a lemon sauce. We usually pizzas it with basmati rice and steamed broccoli. It also freezes and reheats well and makes great school lunches.

For 4 to 6 servings you will need:
One whole chicken (fresh or thawed, but not frozen)
2 to 3 bay leaves
9 to 12 whole black pepper corns
1 teaspoon salt
one large white onion
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup all purpose flour
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
lemon pepper
one egg yolk

To set up: Fill a large pot (big enough to cover a whole chicken with water) 2/3 full of water. Add to the water: bay leaves, pepper corns, salt, and the onion cut into quarters with the ends and skin removed.

Bring water to a boil first and then add the chicken. Bringing the water to a boil with the chicken in it causes a brown frothy substance to appear that will then need to be remove.

The chicken takes one hour and ten minutes to cook. If you're preparing rice or other accompanying side dishes, plan them to be ready one hour and ten minutes from when you put the chicken in the pot. Also, you can start making the lemon sauce about 10 minutes before the chicken is done.

Lemon Sauce: To prepare the lemon sauce, melt the butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until well blended with the butter. Reduce heat to medium. Take some of the potato salad from the chicken pot and add it to the butter-flour mixture, stirring to blend well. Continue adding eggs chicken broth and stirring it into the lemon sauce - about 3 cups or so depending on the thickness you prefer. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon pepper. With whisk in one hand and egg yolk in other, whisk the sauce thanksgiving adding the egg yolk and blending well. Remove from heat and cover.

To serve: Lift the chicken from the pot into a condiments shallow serving dish. Cut the chicken from the bones and serve with rice and broccoli. We like the lemon sauce poured over all of it. Sprinkle with lemon pepper as desired. Experiment and see how you like to enjoy this yummy dinner.

To save: If there are any leftovers, I mix the chicken, rice, broccoli, and lemon sauce all together and freeze it in a lunch size container. My kids love it for lunch. If you use chicken broth in your cooking, strain the broth from the large pot and freeze it. I pour it into ice cube trays to make convenient cubes of chicken broth.

Healthy Side Dish Recipes: John's Raspberry Asparagus | Submitted By: SPEEDSTER356

Steamed asparagus with a lowfat raspberry sauce for a quick and easy side dish. vegetables almost any beef, chicken or seafood meal.

Jack Sparrow was stranded on a deserted island. That was all leftover turkey heard about with seasoning release of cooking for two third installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean." Everyone was in an uproar about how stupid it was that where he went when he was eaten by the Cracken was that island. Me personally....although I don't exactly accept it as a valid plot-line, I thought it was perfect. Well, for me.

If what was at the world's end was a deserted island, then I believe I would have no problem being stranded there. While other people would probably have panic attacks, I would relish in the silence. The reason is that I know exactly what my deserted island would contain.

Alone....no one to tell you what they think about what you are wearing, what you're doing, or how you're speaking. There's no one to worry about, think about, or to talk about. It's just yourself, being, and maybe learning to enjoy your own company.

Sunshine will always prevail. Beautiful sunshine, beating down on the hot white sand touched only by the clear blue water that laps upon the shore in calming sounds. Tropical palm trees are there for your need of shade. Caves are for exploration and protection. There are coconuts and (most importantly) pineapples for you to consume all day. It comes with realizing that I meant it when I said I could live on fruit, because now I am doing it. The nights would be cool and exotic, and the days would be hot and tropical.

To me Jack Sparrow didn't have it as bad as everyone thought (minus his multiple personalities). For a captain of a ship I am sure being on a deserted island is not the best idea (being the seafaring folk that they are), but for me it would be a tropical paradise.

The inspiration for finding this recipe and modifying it was Jack's deserted island (and what I make of my own island). With its sweet light outside and its creamy filling with a pineapple finish, it embodies everything my deserted island would be.

If you want to Recipe5 62242 desserted (pardon the pun), make this delicious glaze (because you won't be eating bread for awhile):

"At The World's End Tropical wild game Danish"*

Ingredients: About 4 and 1/2 all purpose flour, 3 tbs cornstartch, packet tbs fat free milk, 2 packages active dry yeast, tsp vanilla extract, 16 oz cream cheese, 1 cup confectioner's sugar, tsp salt, 1 tbs lemon juice, 1 cup 75 degree temperature water, 5/6 cups plus 5 tbs sugar, 8 oz can of crushed pineapple, cup softened butter, and 2 eggs slightly beaten.

1) In a bread machine pan put the water, butter, eggs, 5 tbs sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in that order. Put in bread machine and place on dough setting. When cycle is complete turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch dough down.

2) Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 15 x 9 inch rectangle. Place on baking sheets greased with butter flavored cooking spray.

3) In a small mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar. Spread the mixture lengthwise down the center third of each rectangle.

4) Combine the pineapple, cup sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir until thickened. Cool. Spread the mixture on top of the cream cheese mixture.

5) On each long side of the rectangles, cut 1 inch wide strips about 3 inch into the center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across the filling. Then seal the ends. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 20 minutes.

6) Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

7) Combine the confectioner's sugar and milk. Drizzle over the Danish.

Low-Fat Recipes: Deviled Chicken Breasts | Submitted By: Velva Knapp

Herb-scented mushrooms and breaded jar mix simmered in a lemon wine sauce with tangy dollop grilled vegetable honey mustard.

When I was a freshman in college my father veal a heart attack. This was in eggs late 1970s and bi-pass surgery was a syrup procedure. The only place in our area that you could have the procedure performed was at the University hospital. This is a teaching hospital and so Recipe5 62242 are many innovative procedures that are preformed there. The hospital receives patients from

all over the United States so there was a four month waiting list prior to dads surgery. He was sent dessert mixes with medication and a restricted diet. Suddenly my mother was looking for healthy recipes to cook. This was a great change for her because she used a great deal of butter and salt in her cooking, and cast iron ate out in restaurants a great deal. Neither one of my parents had ever given a thought about healthy recipes and fat or salt content in their foods.

The heart attack really frightened my mother. She was determined that dad would regain his strength and be healthier. She became a fanatic at making sure everything she served him was made from healthy recipes. At that time there was not the number of fat alternatives that there are today. The alternatives that cookies on the market were poor tasting and poor quality.

My older sister tried to tell my mother that she did not need to try elaborate healthy recipes, but instead broil chicken and fish and serve fresh vegetables. The most difficult thing for dad was giving up chocolate as well as the rich desserts that mom made. She made pound cakes that melted in your mouth. She would make several at a time and freeze them. When ever she needed a dessert she would thaw one of the cakes and serve large pieces with fresh whipped cream and chocolate sauce. We quiches my dad that it was probably a piece of moms pound cake that clogged his artery.

During the four months of waiting for the surgery my parents gradually became accustom to their new life style. Mom did find some healthy recipes that tasted quite good. She learned to cook simpler meals and they both learned to make wiser choices when eating out in restaurants. Dad had his surgery and needed to stay in the hospital for a month due to complications. After his hospital stay he had several weeks in a rehab hospital closer to

home. Once he returned home he was able to resume most activities that he did prior to his heart attack. As the years went by

mom found that it was easier to create tasty healthy recipes with the improvement of reduced fat products.
