Delicio Recipe List

Two weeks ago, I posted a recipe for a German Pancake/Dutch Baby. So why a new and different recipe already? Because I like this one even more. A lot more. This German pancake is puffier and a little less custardy/doughy in the center. The recipe comes from one of my favorite cooking blogs-- Food Wishes . Chef John does a lot more gourmet recipes than I ever would, but he has simple, down-to-earth recipes as well. And his video demonstrations make even more complex cooking and baking seem accessible and fun. So check out his site. Plus I appreciate his sense of humor. To make this pancake, put a 10-inch glass quiche dish (or cast iron skillet) in the oven and preheat the dish and oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, blend the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Either shortly before or immediately after the oven is preheated to 425 degrees, put the three tablespoons butter in the pan in the oven to melt and get hot, though you don't want the butter to brown or b...

I was in a creatively baking mood today when I came up with this new recipe for these light, lovely, and spicy cookies! I've made this recipe so it creates only 3-1/2 dozen, which works incredibly nice in a smaller batch for our 2-person household... Yields: (3-1/2 doz) Prep: 15 Mins. Bake: 10-12 Mins. INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus more for rolling cookie balls) 1/2 cup quality molasses 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain salt METHOD Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Set a couple of baking sheets aside lined with silpat liners or parchment paper. Set a baking rack aside as well for cookies to fully cool. Place a 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl (to roll formed cookies into prior to baking). In a stand mixer bowl, add butter, sugar and molasse...

4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and grated 1 onion, chopped � cup flour � teaspoon garlic powder Salt & Pepper, to taste Grate potatoes and soak in cold water while chopping the onion.  Drain the potatoes and add the onion. Combine the flour and seasonings, then add it to the potatoes. (The potatoes will be wet, but that helps the flour to coat and stick the potatoes together.) Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a cast iron skillet on medium - high heat. Spread potatoes out in the skillet to form one large cake. Cook for about 5 minutes. With a large spatula (or two) flip the cake over when it is golden brown. Cook for another 5-8 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. (I finished mine off in the oven at 400 degrees after the first flip.)

Always keep pickles in your fridge.  At least if you like pickles in your sandwiches.  And for sure if you like a cracker-pickle-cheese sort of snack.  And especially if you live in a land where you can't buy pickles at the grocery store.  (Except for the strange flavors of pickled tofu and vegetables and chicken feet, but I'm not after that flavor when I'm having a sandwich.) Sliced onions Garlic cloves Sliced cucumbers Sliced red pepper, if desired Fresh dill, if available Layer a one gallon (or so) container with desired amounts of these ingredients. Brine:  2 cups water             4 cups vinegar             4 cups sugar             4 T. pickling salt             2 T. pickling spice Heat until dissolved, but do not boil.  Pour over cucumbers ...

Use it for dipping.  Or pour over chicken and veggies and bake.  Or do what I do when I get sick of eating fried rice made with Ayi's leftovers... make a batch of this sauce and dump all of the Chinese food leftovers into it.  Fried broccoli, fried meat, cabbage, whatever.  And then eat over more... rice!  I think this is the recipe we used back in the days when my sister and I would get together to make chicken balls and other 'Chinese' food.  And that was WAY back.  Little did I know that in the future I'd get really acquainted with Chinese food. Mix:   2/3 cup white sugar            2 T. cornstarch            1 tsp. salt Add:   2/3 cup ketchup            2/3 cup water            1/3 cup vinegar Cook until thick. If you wan...

I haven't made this myself yet, but I hope to this coming summer. It's my Uncle Brent and Aunt Fae's tomato soup recipe, and it is tasty. They make and bottle this every year, and last year they shared a bottle with my dad and me. Thanks, guys! 3/4 bushel tomatoes (1/2 bushel = 16 cups) This is a box of tomatoes 6 onions 6 celery stalks 6 green peppers Quarter the tomatoes and put in a large pot. Use a potato masher to mash the tomatoes before putting in the other vegetables. Then grate or chop the other vegetables and add to the pot. Stir on high heat. When the vegetables are soft and tender and the mixture has cooled down, put everything through a juicer or blender. Or you can just have chunky soup, which is also good. Then bring the soup to a boil and add the following, mixing dry ingredients together before adding to water. scant 1/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup salt Stir this mixture until smooth, then add to pot using a whisk.

I found this recipe last night on a blog via Facebook and just tried it this morning. Easy and delicious! I made the pancake as described, but I didn't have any lemons, so I just used powdered sugar, maple syrup, and raspberries. Still very good. However, I'll try the lemon syrup for sure next time since I love nearly all things lemon. Pancake 1/2 cup butter 6 large eggs 1 and 1/2 cups milk 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Lemon Syrup juice of two lemons powdered sugar Put butter in a cast iron skillet or glass pie plate and set in a preheated 425 degree oven. While the butter is melting, lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Add milk and flour. Mix with a wire whisk until large clumps disappear and the batter is fairly smooth. Don�t over-mix or your pancake will be tough. Carefully remove skillet or pan from oven and pour batter into the hot, melted butter. Return pan to oven and bake until well browned and puffed on the edges, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on pa...

  This recipe has been staring me in the face for the last few weeks, but I have been avoiding it.  The reason for this is because I did not recognize this recipe.  I don't ever remember eating this at home, so I was skeptical.  The last time I tried a recipe I did not recognize, it came out absolutely horrible.  I didn't blog about it because I didn't have anything good to say about it.  The funny thing about that Chicken Stroganoff was that on the recipe there was a note that said "Kids like".  Ummmmmmmm,  either my taste buds were underdeveloped back then or I did something very wrong.  It is likely that I messed it up by using the wrong type of vinegar required, but that is neither here nor there.   Back to the point...I hesitated to make this even though I love clams and had 3 cans in the pantry.  But today was the day and you know, what?  IT.  WAS.  FABULOUS!  I absolutely love it!  Going along with a ...

  This one is for the countless folks who have asked me for this recipe over the years.  It was Mom's favorite dish!  I wish I knew where it originated from, but I know that Mom made a few crucial changes to the original recipe that give this casserole it's very own flair of flavor.  The ground turkey and brown rice make all the difference!  It has been a household staple around here and is now my husband's favorite as well.  I must admit that I can't whip this one up without thinking about her.  Love you, Mom! 2    lbs Ground Turkey 1    Large Onion, chopped 3    Garlic Cloves, minced 2    Cans (15 oz. ea) tomato sauce, divided 1    teaspoon dried Thyme 1/2 teaspoon Dill Weed 1/2 teaspoon rubbed Sage 1/4 teaspoon Salt 1/4 teaspoon Pepper 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 2    Cups cooked Brown Rice 1    Medium head of Cabbage, shredded Tip: to peel garlic, place the blade of a large chef ...

My lickity-split and delicious fruity jello layered dessert now has a much-less chilling time to under 30 minutes. This process used to take 2 hours for the 1st layer, then overnight for the second in the refrigerator...Whew. This newly created quicker method I've just devised has truly made my day!   Servings: (8 to 10) Prep: 15 Mins. Chilling: 25 Mins. INGREDIENTS 2 (small 3 oz pkgs) strawberry jello 1 cup boiling water 1 (16 oz pkg) frozen whole strawberries, thawed, drained (reserve juice) then cut into quarters 1 (8 oz can) pineapple tidbits-or crushed, drained (reserve juice) 3 slightly ripe bananas, quartered lengthwise and diced 1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped, (optional) 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (more or less to your desired sweetness) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract METHOD In a medium bowl, dissolve gelatin in water.

  This meatball & bean soup has become a new regular on the dinner circuit around here.  I have now made it twice!  It is foolproof, fast, super easy and comes out delicious every time.  It only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.  Mom struck gold with this one! 4 Cups           Water 1 16 oz can    Crushed Tomatoes 1 15 oz can    Pinto Beans 1 15 oz can    Kidney Beans 1                    Carrot, sliced 4 tsp               Beef Bouillon granules 1 tsp               Dried Oregano 1/4 tsp            Thyme several dashes Hot Sauce 1/2 Cup          Elbow Macaroni (or shells) 24                  Frozen Meatballs - Combine water, undrained tomatoes, drained kidney beans, undrained pi...
