Hey, everyone! I'm so sorry this took a few days to get going. We have cable internet now instead of our slow DSL and it is wonderful!!! Thanks for being so patient.

Bear with me while I get things organized. If it's ok with everyone, I will keep the index the same as Kat had it. It always worked for me Also, since she had a lot to do at the end of that thread, I will bring the un-indexed recipes over here so we can find them. I hope that makes sense.

Today we went to Firehouse Subs. I hate to cook on busy Sundays!

From the other thread:

Caramel Praline Cheesecake

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
½ cups Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
¼ cups Butter, Melted
½ cups Finely Chopped Pecans
½ cups Chopped Heath Bars

FOR THE FILLING:
1 cup Sugar
4 packages (8 Oz. Package) Cream Cheese
4 whole Eggs
¼ cups Chopped Heath Bars
¼ cups Finely Chopped Pecans

FOR THE SAUCE:
¼ cups Butter
⅔ cups Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
⅓ cups Whipping Cream
¼ cups Light Corn Syrup
2 ounces, weight Semi Seweet Baking Chocolate (coarsely Chopped)
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Heat oven to 300°F. Lightly grease sides only of a 10-inch springform pan.

The crust:
Stir together graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, butter (melted) and chopped pecans. Press crumb mixture evenly on the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle toffee bits on hot, partially baked crust.

The filling:
Meanwhile, combine sugar and cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until creamy. Add eggs; continue beating until well mixed. (DO NOT OVER BEAT.) Pour over crust. Bake for 65 to 70 minutes or until edges are set and lightly browned. Center will move slightly when the side of the pan is tapped

Loosen cheesecake from the side of the pan by running a greased knife around the inside of the pan. Immediately sprinkle toffee bits and chopped pecans on top. Cool 1 hour on a cooling rack at room temperature. Refrigerate in the pan, uncovered, until thoroughly chilled (3 to 4 hours). Cover; refrigerate until serving.

The Sauce:
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat; stir in the brown sugar, whipping cream and corn syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture just comes to a boil (2 to 3 minutes). Boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla. Cool slightly; place in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover; refrigerate until serving time. Just before serving, microwave sauce on HIGH, stirring every 30 seconds, until warm (30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes).

This was based off a recipe in September's Bon Appetit magazine



Shrimp & Grits
Grits
1 cup quick cooking grits
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1 tablespoon butter
1 jalapeño, seeded, diced
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Shrimp
4 slices bacon, diced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, divided
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup beer
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Gradually whisk in grits. Turn heat to low; gently simmer until grits begin to thicken (about 5 minutes). Stir in cheese, butter, and jalapeño, then cream. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bacon pieces and cook until crispy. Add garlic and 1 tablespoon butter; stir until butter melts. Add shrimp. When garlic begins to brown, add beer and chicken stock. Simmer until shrimp is cooked through and the sauce cooks down a bit, about 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; set aside.

Divide grits among bowls, forming a well in center. Spoon shrimp mixture into center of grits. Sprinkle tarragon over.

From the other thread:

Dr Pepper Ribs
For the rub:
1/4 cup of salt
1/4 cup of black pepper
1/4 cup of brown sugar
4 teaspoons of mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne
2 teaspoons of chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon of allspice

For the glaze:
2 cups of Dr Pepper (not diet!)
1 cup of ketchup
1/2 cup of mustard
1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of molasses
2-4 teaspoons of chipotle powder

Two racks of St Louis ribs (we used Baby Back)
1/4 cup of Dr Pepper

Coat the ribs with the rub, wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least four hours.

Heat the oven to 300 degrees and bring the ribs to room temperature.

In a foil-lined large baking or roasting pan, arrange the ribs with the meat side up, pour in 1/4 cup of Dr Pepper, cover pan tightly with foil and place in the oven.

Meanwhile, place all the glaze ingredients in a pan, bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes until thick and syrupy.

After an hour and a half, take the ribs out of the oven and spread some of the glaze on each side of the racks. Place back in the oven, meat side up and cook uncovered for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take out the ribs and spread more glaze over them and cook for 30 more minutes or until ribs are desired tenderness.

At this point, take the ribs out of the oven, spread more glaze on them and then cook each side under the broiler for four minutes.

Dinner was yummy!!!!

Peanut Noodles

Ingredients

8 ounces spaghetti
1 bunch green onions, sliced (white parts only)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes


Directions

1.Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done. Drain.
2.Meanwhile, combine oil and onions in a small skillet. Saute over low heat until tender. Add ginger; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
3.Toss noodles with sauce, and serve.



***I doubled the recipe for 4 of us, because we were using this as a main dish. But, it was a lot and it's heavy because of the sauce. So, take that into account if you're making it. This was DELICIOUS and easy.

A few responses from the last thread:

Brandi – I hope you had a safe trip home. Nothing like sleeping on your own pillows!

Alison – We leave on Thursday for eight days of food, wine & friends!!

Janice – Are you still trying to flip your hair, ?

Jen – That salad looks great!

WFD – Pot roast with carrots and red wine, mashed potatoes and smothered cabbage.

4 days!!!!

Morning everyone....

I slept so good last night! I actually slept in which was wonderful...

So today is menu making, grocery shopping, and laundry....

So much to do and so little gumption

WFD???? I have no idea yet...

You got to sleep in!?!?!

You mean you didn't have a cat waking you up to play at o'dark thirty?

Glad you got to rest!

Yay for new internet!!!

And thanks Lindsay for doing this for us and organizing everything. I liked Kat's method, and think it's absolutely wonderful that you're going to be bringing some of the recipes over from the last thread. Take your time, and don't worry if you miss something!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phase 1 of the crockpot orange chicken is done for me. I hope this recipe is good.

I've also been outlining all of the things I want for Christmas. I've made lists and I'm checking them twice.

So far, I've got about 6 new cookbooks coming, including the Homesick Texan and one of the Pioneer Woman's. I also want a whoopi pie maker, a donut pan, and a comal (which is a tortilla pan because I absolutely love fresh tortillas).

I wonder what other kitchen things I can think up.

So far it's a great Sunday. Hope yours is the same Lindsay!

From the other thread:

Apple Cider Donuts




My starting ingredients:



2 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup unsweetened plain apple puree
⅓ cup low fat buttermilk
⅓ cup apple cider
⅛ cup honey mixed with ⅛ cup maple syrup



Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.


Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and stir to combine.





Combine the egg, apple cider, apple puree, buttermilk, honey and maple syrup in a large bowl and whisk together.
NOTE: I just realised that I should have added 1 tablespoon of melted butter as well…but I didn’t include this in the my mix.





Make a well in the flour mixture and add the wet ingredients.





Mix until the batter just comes together.





Transfer some mix into a donut pan that has been oiled. You can sprinkle some sugar around the sides of each donut if you like. I chose not to do so.




Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the donuts spring back when touched and are golden brown on the bottom. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool

[LindsayDunn228]

From the other thread:

Hot Cider
My starting ingredients:


I made this on a small scale. You could scale up the ingredients to match the amount of cider used.

Apple Cider, 330 ml
Brown Sugar, 2 tablespoon
Ginger, 1 slice
Orange peel
Cloves, 6 (which I used to stud the orange peel)
Cinnamon, 1 stick
All Spice powder, 1 teaspoon


Place all ingredients into a pot.

Heat and gently simmer for 20 minutes to let all the flavours infuse.

Serve hot. Enjoy!

We are gone from the house from sun up to sun down everyday and no one home to walk or feed so we did not think it was fair to have pets...

I think David and I are planning to go away right before Christmas and then I have to have surgery so nothing special this year....

Good luck with your list.

We have a 15 y.o., and yes, sometimes he's an animal too.

And I don't care if I'm good enough to get anything or not. I want it.

I just had surgery in August and I'm still "recovering", so I wish you luck with whatever it is that you're dealing with.

I love being a first pager!!!!

my DS is 27.....

I have to have my foot operated on, removing some bone and putting in two screws, not my favorite thing, but it will make life better when I am all healed up!

I keep putting off so I am not sure

I hope you are feeling better and that your recovery has been an easy one.

It's good to know your DS is 27. Apparently you survived the teenage years.

I had a hysterectomy. I didn't expect my physical recovery to be this difficult, but I'm getting better all of the time. I think the fatigue that comes with surgery is the worst part!

Your surgery sounds very difficult. How long are you going to have to be off of your foot? You poor thing. But, like you said, you'll be better after!

 

[franandaj]

Well at least I made it to page 2!

 

[franandaj]

We are driving to Ventura and back today. 86 miles. My DP is a compulsive buyer and can't resist a deal. She got a Peter Ellenshaw painting (Aurora's Rescue) for $150 when everywhere else it was selling for $1200. The things we go through for her obsession.

As a result I doubt we will make it home in time to cook anything.

Jen - I hope your recovery improves. My DP says "getting fixed" was the best thing she ever did.

Brandi - I wish you luck on your surgery. I had a screw in my foot for about six months. It did it's job, but for me it was too painful to walk on it, so I had another surgery to have it taken out.

Kids..... teenagers....

I have a 33, 31, 27 and 18.... ughhhhhhh

It will get better I promise.

Wow, a hysterectomy, that is hard to overcome, glad you are doing as good as you are and that you will make it, you have to, you have a teenager....

I will be out of work for 6 weeks... not sure how i feel about that...
