1. we have a friend coming over - crock pot chicken chile with cornbread....

and we are going to thaw the Yule Log leftovers from Christmas for dessert!

[cbayer]

19. I made some delicious cornbread last night.

Baked it in the cast iron skillet with sage leaves on the bottom.

Perfect with the green pork chile.

Enjoy!

2. Chanukah dinner: Latkes and Pot roast,

better late than never!!!

[fizzgig]

9. we did our latkes last weekend

best batch i think i'd ever cranked out.

enjoy!

[elleng]

14. Thanks. Looking forward.

My cook book long lost, so looking around for recipes. What's yours???

[fizzgig]

15. quick and simple

we used a few tablespoons of oat flour (sister is gluten intolerant) and a couple eggs for binder. we soaked the shredded potatoes in cold water for a bit, wrung them out, waited for the potato starch to settle in the water and added the starch back to the potatoes. we did a big shred on the pots and a grate on the onion.

we used six mediumish russets and one largish yellow onion and netted a few dozen latkes.

[elleng]

16. Thanks. NOW I'm HUNGRY!

Pot roast still marinating and needs 3 hours in the oven, so guess I should find something for lunch!

22. Although I haven't

made these in a while - they are yummy! (from Cooking Light magazine)

Root Vegetable Latkes

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups shredded peeled baking potato (about 1 large)
1 1/4 cups shredded parsnips
1 1/4 cups shredded peeled sweet potato

1 1/4 cups chopped onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a colander lined with paper towels; let stand 20 minutes. Drain and squeeze excess moisture from potato mixture. Transfer potato mixture to large bowl; add onion, flour, and pepper. Toss well; stir in egg whites.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon 1/3 cup batter for each of 5 latkes into pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat procedure with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining batter.

23. THANKS! Saw this on a cooking show yesterday.

Looked very interesting and good; she used beets, too.

[freshwest]

30. Wow, that sounds great. I wonder if a little bit of ground cumin, sage or thyme would taste good.

Would beets work instead of parsnips?

Seems like I can never find those. Perhaps the uncooked patties could be frozen?

I hate to throw anything away, but some things don't freeze well.

3. If I make it to the Fiesta after it warms up a little, fried rice with shrimp.

Just now getting daylight and 33° here.

4. Beef short ribs, baked potatoes, coleslaw

Will look for a ribs recipe on my favorite cooking site Big Oven.

7. great soup

Whole Foods' soup and cornbread, thanks to a Christmas gift from a friend. I know, I know, it's expensive and I could be making it from scratch, but I really can't make better clam chowder, lobster bisque, fresh tomato, butternut squash, or kale and vegetable than Whole Foods.

32. I've never tried any of their soups...

How many servings do you get? Can they be frozen?

I like to make soups but it's always good to have some ready made around.

8. Rainy day chicken soup.

Using this leftover from yesterday - Baked chicken breasts, new potatoes, red bell peppers, onion. Finished under the broiler. - with chicken stock, lentils, carrots, celery, more onion, bay, marjoram, thyme. Garlic toast.

10. My Grandma's pork chops.

Breaded and fried. Then baked in the oven.

[livetohike]

12. That's how my Grandma made them too

[bif]

17. Was she Polish by any chance?

[livetohike]

20. She was Slovak

Both of my Grandmas were.

[bif]

24. Must be a Slavic thing.

That's how she cooked City Chicken as well.

[livetohike]

25. Yes....they both did it that way too

it turned out so tender. That must have been the secret.

[Freddie]

28. Mmmm, best way to make pork chops!

So tender you can cut with a fork and never dry.

[fizzgig]

11. beans and cornbread

being super lazy, soaked the beans in the crockpot overnight and turned them on when i got up. the ham hocks, etc, will go in after i finish my first cup of coffee.

[livetohike]

13. Stuffed eggplant, tabouli and pita bread

Need a touch of the Mediterranean on this snowy day .

[cbayer]

18. Beef and porcini stew.

It's cold here for SoCal and I want some stew!

[fizzgig]

21. mmmmmmmmmm

i love beef and mushroom stews.

[kentauros]

26. I'm probably going to order in pizza.

Either that, or make a VitaMix recipe for corn chowder (with coconut milk instead of cream.)

[LancetChick]

27. Sage pork chops in a red onion, apple and cider sauce

low fat mashed fingerling potatoes with garlic and buttermilk and sautéed zucchini.

[GoCubsGo]

29. Tortilla soup

I cheated a little and used the "soup base" made by Pacific Natural Foods. It's okay.

[Phentex]

31. Grilled salmon...

a bit heavy on the cayenne bit still good.

[locks]

33. Response to phentex

Whole Foods soups come in three sizes, same as Safeway etc. The large size will feed 2-4 and they can be frozen. They say they have their own seafood facilities on three coasts and support "ecological fishing" and aquaculture. Maybe that's why they're expensive!
