venivincere who just asked for soup recipe, and I figured I share with everyone.
Every New Year's my sister has a 'theme' of a particular country, and they and their friends spend the entire evening cooking dishes from that country. It's pretty brilliant. You each make a dish and then eat and drink for hours. It was sooooo my thing. While I was visiting this year, their country of choice was Morocco. Each dish was amazing, but this was my fav.

Happy Holidays, chantefable!
Dec. 20th, 2010 12:40 pmThis is a recipe for chantefable who requested: fish dish with no wheat, tomatoes, milk/cream, or potatoes involved; I hope this suits. It was incredible hard to think of something that fit all that. I cheated a little. LOL.

Happy Holidays, treacle_tartlet!
Dec. 5th, 2010 07:59 amDrive-by gifting!
A recipe fortreacle_tartlet who asked for Pecan Pie. This is a super easy recipe that freezes really well. I’ve also included a huge recipe for pie dough (great for feeding an army! Or if you want to make pie dough only once every 6 months... )

I just made this tonight and it was so delish. And quite easy. Very similar to the Amatriciana Recipe I posted a few weeks ago, but a lot less work. :D
( Penne with Pancetta, Tomatoes and Vodka )
The recipe comes from the Food and Drink magazine that is available free here at Liquor Stores in Ontario. The recipes in these magazines are TO DIE FOR. SRSLY.

Tarte au sucre (Sugar Pie) for delorispea
Dec. 22nd, 2009 08:37 amdelorispea requested a pie. This is another Christmas recipe. We have it Christmas Day, after dinner. It goes very well with a nice strong coffee. It is very sweet (obviously) and should be cut into thin slices (something like a two-finger width at the crust).
And look a picture! Yum! The recipe there is not the same as below, but that is what the end result looks like.
Even if something like this isn't your thing, do read the recipe for the total lulz of how decadent this is. But really, it's quite delish. :D
Tarte au sucre (Sugar Pie)
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
2 cups whipping cream
bring above to a boil in a pot, then remove from heat and stir in:
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1 cup Corn syrup
Add to an uncovered pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees
eta: I always wondered if 'Treacle Tart' was somewhat similar to this? Anyone?
And on that note, we conclude Maggie's 'gift' recipes for 2009. All 22 recipes can be found under my recipes tag.
If you requested a recipe and I somehow missed you, please let me know. Thanks to everyone the commented and/or tried out these recipes. I had a lot of fun sharing them with you.
crockpot chicken for stakebait
Dec. 21st, 2009 12:31 pmstakebait asked for something to try out a new crockpot.I don't cook a lot in my crockpot mostly because I'm really not a morning person so thinking about dinner 8hrs before I have to serve it hurts my head. LOL. But this is one thing I do really enjoy. It's a simple 'Roast Chicken' type of thing, nothing fancy. It can be made in the oven as well.
( Crockpot Chicken )
Enjoy! :D
Breakfast! for queenb23more

Banana Bread for isisanubis
Dec. 19th, 2009 09:52 amisisanubis requested: baking. Here is something slightly more healthy than the brownies I posted a couple days ago. :DBanana Bread
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3-4 very soft bananas (you can always stick overly-ripe bananas in the freezer so that they are ready for when you want to make this – just peel them when they are still mostly frozen!)
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
combine all ingredients well. Add to greased loaf pan or muffin tins.
bake at 350 for 1 hr for loaf
Or 30 minutes if you make muffins
optional – add chocolate chips to make the kids (and adults) love them just a little bit more!
enjoy!
Oof! sorry I am so behind on comments. :/
on a note of weirdness: I got a calendar in the mail yesterday (one of those Re/Max agents advertising themselves). Pretty standard stuff, but the house on the calendar was MY HOUSE! WTF? MY HOUSE! o.O Has Edward Cullen made stalking that cool? Because I was pretty creeped out. On the plus side, the kids think it's damn neat to have a pic of our house all laminated and calender-like. Still, weirdness. o.O *peeks out front window and looks around for cameras*
Various recipes for Rom
Dec. 18th, 2009 10:10 amromaine24 asked for 'my holy shit! I need to make something quick!!!' recipe. And I've been thinking on it a lot. Mostly, those days where I've really dropped the ball on dinner means I'm searching through the freezer for something. I get 'gifted' with lots of prepared food from both my mom and my MIL. *loves them* so yeah, that's were I turn. BUT! If I have a bit of time and want to make it looked like I actually cooked something, I go with this:( Chicken Piccata )
BUT!!! I think I might have already given you that recipe! So... here's a bonus.
Homemade Irish Cream (actual Irish people on my flist? please don't kill me if this is a sacrilege!)
3 eggs
1 1/2 tbsp powdered chocolate (or like, chocolate milk mix)
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
250 ml whipping cream
1 cup of Irish Whiskey
Mix in blender for 5 minutes.
Keep in the fridge for up to a week
Brownies for Entrenous
Dec. 17th, 2009 11:53 amentrenous88 requested a favourite brownie recipe, and despite this being the 17th recipe I posted this month, it is the one I was most anxious to share because they are BLOW YOUR MIND AMAZING.I used to make these to bring to the office when I had a major announcement to make. I call them my 'how to make friends and influence people' brownies. Not the quickest brownie recipe, but the results are well worth it. :D
