Ingredients Serves 12. 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish 6 good white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces 5 1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste 4 1/2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese, (about 18 ounces) 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese, (about 8 ounces) or 1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese (about 5 ounces) 1 pound elbow macaroni Directions 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set breadcrumbs aside. 2. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, whisking, 1 minute. 3. While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick. 4. Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere or 1 cup Pecorino Romano; set cheese sauce aside. 5. Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce 6. Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and breadcrumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes; serve hot.

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes Servings: 24 Ingredients List 1 1/8 cup (9 oz) frozen Pink Lemonade Concentrate, thawed* (light if you can find it) White cake mix (the boxed stuff) 3 egg whites 2 Tbsp applesauce 1 recipe lemon butter cream icing (recipe follows) Instructions * For a less tart cupcake (and these babies do pack a punch), try reducing the amount of pink lemonade. 3/8 cup water and 3/4 cup pink lemonade will cut the tartness. In a stand mixer, add the cake mix, egg whites, applesauce, and the pink lemonade concentrate. Mix on low for about 30 seconds and then increase to medium speed for 90 seconds (the batter will still be a bit lumpy; take care not to over-mix so you don't end up with dry cupcakes). Spray each cupcake liner with the non-stick spray and spoon the batter into a prepared muffin pan (fill the cups between 2/3 and 3/4 full). Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick registers "done" in the center cupcake. Remove the pan from the oven and cool 5 minutes. Remove the cupcakes and cool completely on a baking rack. Once the cupcakes have cooled, make the icing and ice the cupcakes. Ingredients List - Icing 3 cups + 3 Tbsp confectioner's sugar 1 stick unsalted light butter at room temperature 1/8 tsp salt 2 Tbsp lemon juice Red food color (to color icing optional) Instructions Add the butter, confectioner's sugar, salt, lemon juice, and food coloring (if using) to the stand mixer and mix on low using the paddle attachment until combined. Turn the speed to med-high until the icing is fluffy and uniformly pink. Add the icing to a pastry bag fitted with a 2D tip and ice the cupcakes. Optional - Add the sugar and a couple drops of the food coloring to a food processor. Process until the sugar turns pink. Spread the sugar onto a plate and let dry for 15 minutes. Sprinkle onto freshly-iced cupcakes and enjoy

Lots of popped corn! I think I use at least a half cup in my stovetop popper. 
2 or 3 T melted butter 
dash or 2 lemon juice 
1/4 t cayenne pepper 
1/4 t New Mexico red chile powder 
Stir these ingredients together. I've dusted the cayenne & chile on the popcorn before and invariably it makes me cough like crazy. Not a problem when they're mixed with the butter. Drizzle the butter mixture on the popcorn. 
1 t spirulina powder 
popcorn salt to taste 
Sprinkle the spirulina on the popcorn, tossing a lot to distribute it evenly. Add salt and toss some more. Spirulina is evil-looking stuff, but it's got something yummy about it.

A couple of notes about this recipe:
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>IT IS GOOD.</li>
<li>I have made this with fresh strawberries rather than the preserves once. I just stemmed and quartered the strawberries, then mashed them, and replaced the preserves with those. I used two cups of mashed strawberries instead of the preserves in the recipe below.</li>
<li>You can cut this recipe proportionately if you'd like, ie, cut everything in half if you'd like a smaller bread.</li>
</ol> Banana-Strawberry Bread Ingredients: 1 stick of butter 1 ¾ cups of sugar 4 eggs 4 cups of baking mix, such as Jiffy or Bisquik 2 teaspoons of vanilla 4 cups of ripe, mashed bananas (the more over-ripe, the better) 1 ½ cups of chopped walnuts 1 12oz jar of Trappist Strawberry Preserves Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a fairly large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Pour in the baking mix and stir until the mixture is well mixed. Add the bananas and stir again until the bananas are well mixed into the batter. Add the strawberry preserves and walnuts. Stir them into the batter. Grease a pan (I’ve found a glass brownie pan 15”x10”x2” works best, but a loaf pan will also work). Pour in the batter and spread evenly in the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center of the bread comes out clean. Allow to cool for 2-3 hours before cutting. TIP: After about 20 minutes, run a knife between the edge of the pan and the edge of the banana-strawberry bread. This will make the bread come out of the pan easier.

A favorite family recipe. Serves 6. I usually pair it with rice pilaf, crusty bread, and a Greek salad. 3 lb Raw large shrimp 
1/2 cup lemon juice 
1/2 cup butter 
1-2 garlic cloves; minced 
1 cup chopped scallion tops (just the green part) 
3 large tomatoes; peeled and cut into wedges 
1 teaspoon fresh oregano 
salt & pepper to taste 
1 lb feta cheese, crumbled 
3/4 cup cream sherry 
Peel and de-vein shrimp. Sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside. 
Melt butter in large skillet. Saute garlic, green onion tops and tomato wedges until tomatoes start to soften. Add shrimp and season with oregano, salt and pepper. Turn shrimp frequently and saute until pink. Add feta and cream sherry. Bring to a boil and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove shrimp carefully to casserole. Spoon feta mixture over shrimp. Serve over rice pilaf.

Theia - your peanut butter cup brownies, please.

runningINnyc · Aug 13, 2007

Oooooo, I've made those! It's basically a brownie mix plus about 12 Reese's Peanut Butter cups (full sized). Prepare the mix as noted on the box, pour half the batter into a pan, line with RPB cups, pour the remaining batter over. Cook, cool, bask in the power of PB! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

theia · Aug 13, 2007

Maria's got it. Just be sure to use a small square pan (8x8 or 9x9) rather than a 9x13 rectangular pan. Any brownie recipe or mix will work. I always cut up the extra PB cups and use the pieces to fill in wherever there's open space, too, so that every brownie has PB in it. If you just line up the regular sized cups, you end up with big spaces on the ends of the pan. 
You can do the same trick with Peppermint Patties, which I usually do at Christmas.

Kris’ Chipotle Black Bean Soup 
1 cup dry black beans 
6 cups water 
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth 
2 cups water 
1 cup chopped onion 
1 cup chopped celery 
4 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tsp chili powder 
¼ tsp red pepper flake (or to taste) 
1 ½ cups frozen corn 
1 large roasted red pepper (from a jar OK), chopped 
1-3 chipotle peppers, chopped, and 1-3 tsp of adobo sauce (to taste) 
1. Rinse and sort beans. Put beans and water in saucepot and bring to boiling. Reduce heat, simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour. Drain and rinse. 
2. In same pot, combine beans, broth, 2 cups water, onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, red pepper flake. Bring to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 1 hour. 
3. Add corn, roasted red pepper, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce. Bring back to simmer for 30 minutes. 
4. Ladle most of the broth and ½ of the solids into blender and puree. Pour back into the pot and stir. Serve. 
Makes 4 servings. 
Notes: 
- I adjusted this from a recipe that called for smoked sausage, when I was making it for a friend who is vegetarian. The chipotle peppers captured that smokey flavor quite nicely. 
- You can double up the recipe, but don't exactly double the total liquid or it'll be too soupy (well for me it is, I like mine thick). 
- You can skip the puree step if you'd like, or adjust the amount that you puree vs leave as solids. If you don't puree, give the beans a bit of a moosh with a potato masher. 
- You can use a can of cooked beans in place of step 1 if you are in a hurry. In step 2, cook for only 30 min as canned beans are already fully cooked and soft.

It has been years since I have had sauce from a jar. A nice benefit of marrying an Italian.

Ingredients: 4 to 6 green tomatoes, cut in 1/4-inch thick slices 2 eggs, beaten 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1/3 cup water salt and pepper 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Prep: Sprinkle tomato slices with salt and pepper on both sides. In a shallow bowl mix beaten eggs, milk, and water. Put the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl. Season breadcrumbs per your taste. Dip each slice into egg mixture, then into flour.* Dip each slice into egg and then into the flour again. Arrange tomatoes in large, shallow, greased baking pans, or bake in 1 pan, in batches. Tomatoes should not touch. Bake: Uncovered in 400° oven 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Crunchier coating: Dip toms a 2nd time into egg mixture then into seasoned bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs, with a little Parmesan cheese, if desired. SEASONING IDEA: I've used a cajun seasoning mix in with unseasoned breadcrumbs - yum!!!

I got this from a <a href="http://www.crazyauntpurl.com/archives/2006/05/fried_green_tom.php" target="_blank">blog</a> I read, there's pictures of the process there. You can tell this isn't my recipe, cuz i would never tell you to use bacon!! Ingredients: 
• a few green tomatoes 
• cornmeal (yellow is my favorite) 
• mix cornmeal with salt, pepper and other spices (I add in some white cornmeal, too, and some Tony Chachere seasoning) 
• bacon grease or vegetable oil Cooking: 
Slice the tomatoes into about half-inch slices. Dip in whipping cream or egg wash to make the batter stick. Then dredge each tomato slice in the cornmeal mixture. Place in a hot skillet and fry until golden on one side, gently flip them over. Done when both sides are a nice golden brown. Then eat up!

Splotch Chicken 
Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut the backbone out of a whole chicken. 
In a large ziploc baggie, place:
<ul><li>the chicken.</li>
<li>6 Tablespoons of olive oil.</li>
<li>2 lemons, cut in half - squeeze juice over the chicken the drop the lemon halves in.</li>
<li>2 sprigs of rosemary, pull the leaves off and sprinkle them in over the chicken.</li>
</ul>
Seal bag and smoosh around for a bit and toss it in the fridge anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days. (I've frozen it at this point too and the end result is just as good) 
Preheat oven to 400. Pull the chicken out of the fridge to warm up a bit while the oven preheats. Dump the contents of the bag, lemons and all, onto a jelly roll type of pan (one with egdes), breast side up. Splotch it down flat with your hand. Throw it in the oven and let it fend for itself for an hour. 
I usually serve with rice pilaf and a green veggie or salad.
