Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Linda Wilson asked:


Are you always in a hurry? Do you wish the world would slow down and let you catch up? If so, you are not alone. But life isn’t going to slow down to allow you to catch up! One way you can enjoy more down time is to cut time in the kitchen. Yes, in the kitchen! Forget going through the fast-food drive-thru lanes and prepare your family a real meal. Here are a couple of recipes to help you get dinner on the table in a matter of minutes.

EASY CORN CHOWDER

6 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

1 cup chopped onion

1 green bell pepper, chopped

2 1/2 cups milk

2 cans (approx. 15 oz. ea) diced potatoes, drained

1 can (15 oz) creamed corn

1 can (15 oz) whole-kernel corn

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1/8 tsp red pepper

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups chicken broth

Saute the onion and bell pepper in the bacon drippings cooking until tender. Remove to a large saucepan or small stockpot, scraping the skillet to get all the flavor. Add the diced potatoes, creamed corn, whole-kernel corn and seasonings. Slowly stir in the milk until well blended. Add the chicken broth. Heat over low heat until thoroughly heated through but do not boil.

CRAB CAKES WITH LIME SAUCE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES

This recipe goes together in about 15 minutes. Cooking time is 8 to 10 minutes.

1 medium lime

1 cup mayonnaise

1 envelope dry Italian Seasoning Mix

2 tbsps Dijon Mustard

2 cans (6-oz each) crabmeat, drained and flaked

25 Ritz-style crackers, finely crushed, divided

2 tbsps chopped green onion

1/4 cup sour cream

Grate the lime peel and squeeze juice from the lime. Mix half the juice, half the mayonnaise, the salad dressing mix, and the mustard in a medium bowl. Stir until well blended. Add the crabmeat, half the cracker crumbs, and the onion. Mix together lightly. Shape into 16 patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Coat the patties with the remaining cracker crumbs. Spray a large skillet with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Cook patties, in batches, over medium heat about 2 minutes or until browned on each side and heated through. Meanwhile, mix remaining mayonnaise, lime juice, lime peel, and sour cream together in a small bowl. Mix to blend together well. Serve crab cakes with a dollop of the sour cream sauce over the top.

Enjoy!

Leftover Pizza Recipes

Sunday, December 21st, 2008
Andrew Clark asked:


Are looking for the quickest pizza recipe, the easiest pizza recipe, and the best tasting pizza recipe? Look no further then last night’s leftovers.

That’s right. Those containers of recently munched on Chinese food, that uneaten slab of beef those leftover stir fry veggies or the vodka sauce from last night’s pasta can all help you harness the power of the pizza gods and bestow upon you a terrific tasting, one of a kind pizza.

Not sold on using leftovers to make pizza? An added bonus of making “leftovers” pizza is that it simplifies the pizza making process; allowing pizza to take its rightful place as the mid-week, after work, after grad-school, after the gym dinner that it was intended to be.

Before you go all willy-nilly-mad-scientist on your pizza, you might consider the following:

• Don’t overtop your pizza

Imagine, if you will, what the bottom of your oven will look like caked with pizza toppings. Or worse, how your pants or shirt will look stained with pizza sauce. Despite my personal beliefs, pizza stained clothes never impress or so I am told. So be sure to use an appropriate amount of toppings. And that goes for calzones too, which tend to leak if overstuffed.

• Don’t mix flavors that taste bad together

Braunsweiger and peanut butter or how about sweet and sour chicken and refried beans? Unless you are under attack by mid-pregnancy flavor cravings,it’s better to stick with the flavor pairings that you already know and love.

• Avoid wet soggy leftovers if possible

While this may seem like a no brainer, cold items can fool you. Even a mildly moist item may leak fluid when heated.

• Experimenting with pizza toppings is always fun

It is always fun to experiment with pizza toppings to create new pizza recipes. Try changing your cheese combinations; who is up for an asiago/fontina blend over beef and broccoli leftovers? Maybe add a little cheddar, brie, or chabichou du poitou to your mozzarella topping to spice things up a bit.

Using leftovers on pizza can be a fun, fast, easy way to enjoy the original meal a second time, not to mention that it will free up room in the fridge. Who knows when you will create the ultimate pizza recipe that will transform pizza forever. Or most likely, you will just have a terrific pizza dinner and a wonderful pizza recipe.

Send your unique pizza recipes or ideas to Webmaster@Pizzathepie.com and I will gladly test them out and let you know what I think. Or check out our other pizza recipes ideas.

Quick and Easy Dinner Menu and Recipes

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008
Linda Wilson asked:


In today’s society, it is often hard to find time to get the family together around the table for a home-cooked meal.  Yet the health professionals tell us we Americans need to eat a lot less fast food.  And the psycologists tell us we need to spend more time together as a family around the dinner table.  So what’s a busy family to do?  Make time to eat a home-cooked meal, together as a family, at least three times a week.  Get the children to set the table.  It’s a good learning experience for them, they learn to feel like an important part of the family, it saves mom and dad some time, the family experiences together time, etc.  And remember, this is just a family dinner.  Everything doesn’t have to be perfect.  So what if the placemats and napkins don’t match…let the kids have some fun and feel important.  Make gentle suggestions and never be critical.

Following is an easy menu that can be made quickly, especially when everyone helps out and works together.    And it won’t break the bank with the skyrocketing grocery prices of today. Give it a try this week.

SALISBURY STEAKS WITH ONIONS

1 lb lean ground beef

1 egg

1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 tsp salt, optional

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tbsp butter

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 1/2 tbsp flour

1 1/4 cups low-sodium beef broth

1 tsp dried parsley

Preheat broiler.  Line broiler pan with foil and spray with a non-stick cooking spray.  Combine beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt, garlic, pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a large mixing bowl.  Mix well.  Shape into 4 patties.  Place patties on prepared broiler pan and broil, turning once, until no longer pink in the center; approximately 10 minutes.  Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Seperate onions into rings and add to skillet.  Saute about 4 minutes or until translucent.  Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring continually, about 2 minutes.  Gradually stir in broth and cook, stirring continually until broth thickens; about 2-3 minutes.  Stir in parsley.  Pour onion gravy over the cooked patties and serve immediately.

Note:  Want to sneak in a vegetable?  Grate a carrot into the beef mixture before forming patties.

Make this 7-layer salad the night before and refrigerate.  When you get home from work, soccer games, music lessons or whatever, your salad is ready and waiting.

7 LAYER SALAD

4 cups bite-sized mixed lettuce pieces

1 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/2 chopped mild or sweet onion

1 box frozen peas

6 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

1 pkg (8 oz) shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

6 slices crisp fried bacon, crumbled

1 pkg Ranch Dressing mix

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup low-fat plain yogurt

In a clear salad bowl, layer the following ingredients in this order: lettuce, bell pepper, onion, frozen peas and eggs.  In a small mixing bowl, mix together the Ranch Dressing mix, mayonnaise and yogurt.  Add atop the layers in bowl.  Add cheese and bacon.  Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, plastic wrap, etc.  Refrigerate overnight before serving.

ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH SAUTE

2 medium zucchini

2 yellow squash

2 tbsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 tsp dried oregano

pinch of dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste, optional

Scrub zucchini and yellow squash; cut into 1/4-inch slices.  In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30-45 seconds.  Add the zucchini and yellow squash to skillet.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender–about 5-6 minutes.  Stir in the tomato and oregano.  Simmer 1-2 minutes longer.  Add salt and pepper, if desired.

For dessert, here is a quick and easy recipe for parfaits.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE PARFAIT

2 cups fat-free milk

1 pkg sugar-free instant chocolate pudding

1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder

3/4 tsp grated orange peel + more for topping

1 cup evaporated skim milk

In a large bowl, combine skim milk, pudding mix, nonfat dry milk and 3/4 teaspoon orange peel.  Mix at low speed until just blended, 1 to 2 minutes.  Using a seperate, clean, chilled bowl and chilled beaters, beat evaporated skim milk until soft peaks form.  Fold into thickened pudding mixture. Spoon into dessert glasses and sprinkle with grated orange peel.  Top with sugar-free whipped topping if desired, reserving the topping grated orange peel to go on top of the whipped topping.

Note:  This recipe, without the topping, has 13 g protein and 26 g carbs

Hamburger Steaks With Brown Gravy Recipes

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Vincent Platania asked:


A hamburger steak is a perfect comfort food, and hardly even requires poring through recipes.  At its most basic, it’s just ground beef, after all, maybe with a little bit of salt and pepper or garlic powder mixed in.  But that makes for a pretty bland meal, doesn’t it?  A hamburger steak with brown gravy recipe, however — now that’s what you need to turn a simple meal into a perfect dinner.

When I make hamburger steaks with brown gravy, my recipe calls for Rawleigh Steak and Hamburger Seasoning Mix, as well as Rawleigh Onion Flakes — they are well worth mail ordering for, as nothing in ordinary grocery stores is comparable.  A pinch of kosher salt, a touch of Worcestershire sauce, and the patties are ready to be cooked; in the winter, you have to resort to frying or broiling, but in summer you definitely want to grill!  

The brown gravy for my hamburger steak, too, must have Rawleigh’s Brown Gravy Mix — no other mix can compare.  You can make it according to the package directions (and isn’t that a great jar, by the way, rather than those packets that spill powder everywhere when you tear them open?): 2/3 cup gravy mix combined with 1 cup cold water, then whisked into 3 cups boiling water until thickened.  But I like to tinker a bit, so here’s how my hamburger steak with brown gravy recipe looks:

2 pounds ground beef

3 tablespoons Rawleigh Steak and Hamburger Seasoning Mix

2 tablespoons Rawleigh Onion Flakes

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Combine ingredients, divide into 6 patties, and cook to desired doneness.

1 tablespoon butter

8 ounces sliced mushrooms

1/3 cup red wine (one that’s worth drinking!)

2/3 cup cold water

2/3 cup Rawleigh Brown Gravy Mix

3 cups boiling water

Heat butter in a skillet, and add mushrooms; sauté until golden brown.  Meanwhile, combine wine and cold water; stir in gravy mix.  Whisk mixture into boiling water and cook until thickened. Stir mushrooms into brown gravy. Place hamburger steaks onto a serving platter and top with the brown gravy.  Serve hot to a hungry family!

This is easy enough to make for a quick weeknight dinner, but also sophisticated enough to be served at a dinner party.  My hamburger steak with brown gravy recipe is an all-purpose hit!

Dinner Recipes Easy

Monday, December 8th, 2008
kalidas asked:


People are busier today than ever in history. People do more and more, which compensates for the speed modern technology brings to tasks. What suffers is home life. People have less energy to spend around the house. That includes meals. Making dinner recipes easy has become a holy grail. It’s nice to know there are a lot of ideas around for quick meals.

It was all by hand cooking in the old days. Grinding meat into casings was the way to make sausage. When they ate pasta they used home made noodles and home made sauce made from tomatoes and other ingredients. Cooking was an all day affair. With more at home spouses, this was hard but not out of the question. But as people began to realize they wanted more from life than cooking and cleaning every day, more and more pre-packaged and pre-prepared foods began to appear. Cake baking, for example, slowly converted from mixing flour, eggs, vanilla, milk, carefully melted chocolate and many many other ingredients to opening a box and mixing in some eggs and milk. It’s now a simple matter to bake a cake. Far less time is required before a cake can be enjoyed. Change has happened.

There are lots of places to find out how to cook more quickly. The television cooking shows are more popular than ever. Gone are the days of the Galloping Gourmet getting drunk on cooking Sheri while Julia Child droned on about fancy French meals. There’s more focus in today’s shows on cooking for the rest of us. It’s more 20 minute meals and foods that can be prepared in under a half hour. This isn’t just hot dogs or scrambled eggs. The focus is delicious meals that appear to take a lot longer to make than they really do.

Pre-packaged and ready made foods are a lot better than they were, too. Most supermarkets have delis where hot meals are made. It’s a combination of home made and take out. Freeze these meals for eating another time, too. That’s another idea. Use the weekend to cook, then freeze the meals to eat during the week when life is busier. Many foods including lasagna are actually better reheated.

Even today it’s possible to eat well without eating out daily. There are plenty of places to learn about making dinner recipes easy. Bon appetite.

Lean Ground Beef is a Healthy Choice for Easy Family Recipes

Thursday, October 30th, 2008
Sherry Frewerd asked:


As far as value and family friendliness are concerned, you can’t beat ground beef at dinner time. Most Americans have grown up eating ground beef, or hamburger as it’s also referred to. In fact, what summer would be complete without a juicy hamburger cooked on the back yard grill?

Although health consciousness, along with industry and fast food beef scares in recent years have caused many folks to shy away from consuming ground beef, there are ways to prepare ground beef that are both safe and good for you too.

Lean ground beef is low in fat and high in protein, iron and B12, so there are healthy reasons to consider cooking with ground beef again. Choose the 93% lean ground beef in your grocery store and your recipes will be just as healthy for your family as any other lean beef dish. Not to mention the fact that ground beef is affordable and can be stretched to feed more people. Another ground beef tip that will help reduce fat if you choose to buy the less lean variety is to drain the fat and then rinse away any remaining grease or fat after cooking. As for cooking safety, ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.

Here is a quick and easy family-friendly recipe starring lean ground beef.

Easy Taco Hash Brown Supper

1 lb lean ground beef

½ cup onion, chopped

½ tsp garlic, minced

1 - 8 oz can tomato sauce

1 tsp chili powder

¾ tsp salt

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp vegetable oil

4 ½ cups frozen hash browns, thawed (approx. ½ of a 26 oz package)

4 tomato slices

1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Brown the lean ground beef with the onions and garlic and then drain well. Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder and ½ tsp salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Mix the butter and oil in a non stick oven proof skillet or pan and heat until bubbly. Press the hash browns into skillet and cook for five minutes. Preheat your broiler. Add the ground beef mixture over the hash browns and top with tomato slices and cheese. Broil for a couple of minutes.

This makes an easy and delicious weekday dinner that even picky eaters will love. Add a nice green salad and you have a healthy lean ground beef meal.

Planning Menus of Easy Dinner Recipes

Monday, October 20th, 2008
Daniel Jowssey asked:


Imagine it, the family is gathered around the table, eyes shining, anticipating the amazing meal you are bringing to the table. Screech. Okay, at my house, we arrive at dinnertime just when the household is approaching meltdown.

Dinner Recipes:

Cooking can be fun if creativity is involved in it. Everyone wants to try new recipes which are great in taste and less time consuming. Some people are very conscious about their health and try some low crab recipes befitting to their daily diet whereas some very busy people want quick dinner recipes or crock pot recipes which can be done within minutes without compromising for the taste. In today’s busy world where people have to give the best shot in the office hardly find time to spend on cooking. Both parents in the family have to work and meet the needs and demand of their children as well as to cope up with the price rise.

For such people quick dinner recipes are of great help. You can take the help of internet and search online the recipes which require less time. There are many website full of new recipes for you to try and enjoy. These websites will help with new ideas and techniques which can be used effectively for making dinner quickly. It is the advantage of some site that the recipes they are offering are able to provide without any charge. They tell you the time saving tips and the things you can do ahead to make dinner time quick and simple. In this way taking the help of such website will definitely prove beneficial for many who want to make their life easy and saving time by trying some of the recipes given in the website.

Evening is the time when all the family members are together and that is why dinner is considered as the main meal of the day where it is expected to have plenty of options, variety and flavor and so preparing dinner can be a herculean task, spending hours together in the kitchen. Even this task can be made easy if certain things are taken into account: -

The best idea to make sure the meal prepared is tasty and fresh is to going for meal planning. Planning for the upcoming meal will keep you away from the hassles. Proper planning and buying all the ingredients required in advance for the coming week will make the task easy and you get along well even after a long hard and tiring day.

You will be sure of what to make in the dinner and will avoid one more visit to a local fast food joint.

Every family member has their choice and demand and wants to have the same for the dinner. To handle such situation try to find out through an informal poll and include at least one favorite in the entire meal. It will not have unsatisfied eaters at the dinner table. In addition to the meal planning you can surf through those hundreds of websites that offer satisfying dinner recipes. The recipes you might think are time consuming these sites would give some amazing shortcut to cut short the required time for any recipe. Isn’t it wonderful to have new twist on pork, beef and fish dishes along with countless number of chicken dishes.

Whether you are trying to make quick dinner or those which will reduce the fats but don’t forget to give them the balanced diet essential for their growth and development.

Dinner Recipes

Saturday, September 20th, 2008
kalidas asked:


 Dinner recipes can get hard when days turn to weeks turn to months. It’s easy to get stuck on the same few meals. Families often find, when examining their food selection, that they constantly eat the same meals while ignoring some old favorites. It’s all haphazard and kind of random. Because people have so much to do they often ignore the healthy eating.

Prior planning is important when designing a menu and recipes to cook from it. People who take some time to plan out menus can select a wider variety of recipes. Food isn’t only about the taste and nutrition, it’s about presentation and the whole experience. Everyone can enjoy the same basic food if it’s made into a variety of different meals.

Take ground beef for example. Ground beef and wheat with vegetables and tomato sauce (ketchup) is a burger Well, it’s also tacos. Tacos and hamburgers have a lot of the same basic ingredients, but to most people they’re very different foods. Many different meals can come from one food. Let’s try another one. Chicken and potatoes. French fries and fried chicken can be fattening and thus not healthy. Roasting both will save the waist line. Still chicken and potatoes. Chicken salad and chips make a good lunch. Chicken pot pie. Chicken Teriyaki comes with rice, a starch just like the potatoes. There it is, a lot of variety from only a few basic foods.

Try more than one meat. Delicious kebabs come from chicken and steak along with some vegetables. Steak and lobster can be very elegant for a parents only dinner date, or pretty basic to include the kids too at a family meal. Fish and chips make a good appetizer for a fried turkey, all made in the same deep fryer.

Where can more ideas be found? There’s a television network dedicated to food, which shows a lot of cooking programs. They not only have practical cooking tips, but have web sites with even more information on dinner recipes. Try searching for dinner ideas on Yahoo or Google. Nobody could every get through all the available info online.

Dinner Menu Featuring an Amish Beef & Cabbage Casserole

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Linda Wilson asked:


Here is a good dinner menu that is very economical and satisfying.  Featured is Amish Beef-Cabbage Casserole that I received from an Amish acquaintance.  You will notice that I did not change the recipe but left it authentic with diabetic recommendations in parenthesis.  This casserole has meat, vegetables, and rice which is a grain all incorporated into the dish.  For our diabetics, skip bread with this meal since there is rice in the casserole.  Add three bean salad and finish your meal with chocolate cake.

AMISH BEEF & CABBAGE CASSEROLE

1 lb ground beef, browned and drained

3 cups fresh cabbage, shredded

3/4 cup onion, diced

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp brown sugar (can be omitted or use 1 tsp Splenda brown sugar blend)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease (for health purposes, it is better to use a non-stick vegetable spray) a 2-quart casserole dish.  Placed cabbage in dish.  Stir in the hamburger and onion.  Add remaining ingredients, except cheese, and mix all together.  Cover casserole dish and bake for 1 hour.  Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese over the top.  Ready to serve.

1/2 cup cider vinegar OR 1/4 cup each cider and balsmic vinegars

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

In a large bowl, combine beans, bell pepper and onion. 

Make dressing:  Using a glass jar with a screw-on lid, combine sugar substitute, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Secure lid and shake jar well to blend ingredients.  Pour dressing over bean mixture and mix well to blend.  Cover and refrigerate for about 24 hours.  Remove from refrigerator and let come to room temperature before serving.

DIABETICS MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

2 cups Splenda granular

1 cup vegetable oil

Delmondo Sorell asked:


Chicken recipes are healthy, economical, and easy to prepare. The recipes are so popular because chicken is not only versatile, but incredibly tasty. Chicken recipes can be served with many different types of side dishes. Chicken recipes are probably the most sought after recipes, for meat dishes. Chicken provides an excellent source of protein, and has less fat than all other types of red meat.

Chicken can be cooked in many different ways, including baking, frying, poaching, grilling and more. Chicken is low in fat, especially when baked because of the lack of added fats, and it is found in practically every cuisine in the world. Chicken bakes as well as it fries, broils, or grills and you can get really creative with toppings, stuffing and flavourings for baked chicken recipes. Chicken is a heart healthy food which also tastes wonderful and as a bonus fried chicken recipes are very economical to make. Chicken can be prepared in a variety of mouth watering dishes in different cuisines across the globe.

Chicken and a crock pot make wonderful partners. Chicken is not only great tasting but a good choice for a heart healthy diet. Chicken soup is truly food for the soul, and more of it just means that much more nutrition. Chicken dishes is not only limited with main entrees, but chicken meat can also be added to salads to make it more flavourful. Chicken salad is one of the most refreshing and light meat salads. Chicken casseroles are another good choice for the busy modern family they can be made up before hand frozen and pulled out when needed placed into a hot oven and in a short order deliver a scrumptious meal to your table. Chicken casserole makes a healthy meal since chicken is low in fat and chicken casseroles often have plenty of fresh vegetables added to them.

Chicken stew is the perfect healthy heart meal because the combination of chicken, vegetables, rice, and some kind of juice or gravy is not only delicious but also low in fat, high in flavour and good for your health. Chicken soup recipes and chicken stew recipes are especially popular and knowing that such delicious foods are also part of the healthy heart diet makes eating a true pleasure. Chicken recipes allow you to give your family a delicious and healthy meal. 

Roast chicken is not only an easy dinner to make, but when you cook it with the vegetables in the same pan it’s absolutely effortless.
