I searched for a thread to share a great recipe but I guess there isn't one already so I'm starting this one.

Feel free to add your own or someone else's you like.

Caramel Brownies

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, plus more for greasing pan
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Half of a 14-ounce can dulce de leche
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan (a square pan will result in thicker brownies).

In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) into the prepared pan.

Place the dulce de leche in a glass bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. Drop large dollops of dulce de leche on the surface of the brownie batter. Use a knife to slowly swirl it through the batter. Don't drag the knife sideways through the batter; hold it so the thin side of the knife leads the way.

Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If they are overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes (just be careful not to burn the edges). Allow to cool completely (important!), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares.

Cook's Note

When warm, the brownies will seem overly gooey/soft. As they cool, they will firm up. (Brownies are best several hours after baking, or even the next day!)

Brownie Fries​

prep 15 mins. cook 20 mins. total 35 mins.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
10 oz chocolate, melted (semi-sweet or dark)
Fleur de Sel or Maldon salt
Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler. Mix the sugar and eggs together, then add to the melted chocolate.
Stir in the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture and mix until there are no lumps. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until no longer jiggly. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Cut into thin fry-like shape (I cut the pan in half lengthwise, then several times the opposite way.) Optionally freeze the fries on a baking sheet to make it easier to dip in the chocolate.
Melt the 10 ounces of chocolate over a double boiler. Coat each of the brownie fries with the melted chocolate and then sprinkle with the salt. Leave to harden on a wax sheet.

Crunchy Corn & Pea Salad

This one is great for picnics or potlucks and it is so simple. Recipe easily doubles for large gatherings -- or some to take and some to keep!


Salad:
1 pound frozen sweet peas
11 ounces frozen sweet or white corn
8 ounces water chestnuts, drained & rinsed; diced
4 ounces diced pimentos, drained
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 1/2 ounces Monterrey Jack cheese, diced (2/3 c)
(I usually do one-third pepper jack cheese {for some kick} and two-thirds Monterrey or Cheddar)

Ingredients:
1/3 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove minced (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Garnish, if desired:
4 ornamental kale leaves or curly lettuce
1 green onion
1 small red bell pepper

Directions:
1. Cook peas until crisp-tender as directed on the package. [Note: I usually steam the peas and corn, just a few minutes shy of recommended cook time and set the steamer basket into ice water. They retain nutrition, color, and crunch.] Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. In a large bowl, combine peas and all remaining ingredients. Mix well.
2. In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients. Mix well. Add to salad; toss and mix. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled. [Overnight is better, the flavors have a chance to meld and mellow.]

Optional
3. Line individual salad plates or serving bowls with kale. Spoon salad onto kale. Garnish with green onion and bell pepper.

I tried to make an Apple Crisp today and it didn't go so well. It smelled great, so I thought it was going well, but when it came out of the oven it was a bit of an unedible mushy mess. Better luck next time. At least the apartment got to smell like warm apple pie all afternoon.

Damn! If the name alone doesn't make your mouth water you're inhuman! Forget how hard this probably is, I don't want to know how much it would cost. This is the kind of thing I would usually go out to a good restaurant for.

OMG. nearer to thee. Is that fondant, white chocolate or a combination of both?

usually cinnamon rolls are topped with with a "frosting" made up of powered sugar, milk, melted butter and vanilla - at least in the US!

Southern Cornbread Dressing

If you are having roast turkey or chicken this Thanksgiving Day instead of stuffing try this cornbread dressing. It's very close to my mother's own recipe.

Southern Cornbread Dressing

Prep time 15 mins
Cook time 45 mins

Cornbread Dressing is a classic southern dish served especially during the holiday season. Moist and delicious, cornbread dressing makes the perfect side dish!

Serves: 12

Ingredients

1 full recipe Southern Buttermilk Cornbread
3 piece sliced sandwich bread or 3 buttermilk biscuits
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed sage, optional
3 eggs
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 stick butter, sliced
4 cups cream of chicken soup
6 cups chicken stock

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Crumble all of the cornbread and biscuits (or white bread slices) into a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, eggs, onion, celery, butter, cream of chicken soup, and chicken stock. Stir until well-combined.

Pour dressing into two 9x13 baking dishes and bake until lightly browned, about 30 - 45 minutes. To test doneness, shake casserole dish lightly. If the center of the dressing moves, then the dressing is not cooked through in the center. Continue to bake until the dressing is set throughout.

Notes

You can pour dressing into two smaller casserole dishes to reduce cooking time to about 35 minutes. I like to do this for one pan with onions and the other without for those who do not like onions.

Southern Cornbread Recipe

Cornbread makes a classic Southern side dish. Southern cornbread is made with cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, eggs and ready in 30 minutes!

Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1 cup self-rising flour
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 425º F.

Coat large skillet with enough vegetable shortening or butter to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet. Place the coated oven into the oven for the butter or shortening to melt. Remove the skillet from oven once melted.

Meanwhile, stir together the cornmeal, flour, eggs, buttermilk and water and pour into the hot skillet. Return to the oven and bake about 25 minutes or until bread has risen and center springs to the touch.

Serve directly from skillet or allow to stand about 5 minutes and flip onto a plate for serving.

Here is a recipe I have tried time and again
and never fails to satisfy:

 

[trencherman]

For those who picked up one of those generic pannetones that must have been baked back in September or earlier, separate it from the carton it was baked in without leaving too much on the carton. Slice them into 2 cm. discs and pin them in your waffle iron up to your desired toastiness and slather them with butter and jam.

Pumpkin-Eggnog Bread Pudding

So much good stuff here! Since it's the season, I'll share a favorite holiday dish. Trust me, it's awesome.

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups egg nog (you could probably use Lite, but then why bother?)
3/4 cup canned pumpkin (the kind that says “Ingredients: Pumpkin” and nothing else)
1/2 cup white sugar (you could experiment with brown or turbinado, but it might be a bit much)
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1 ½-or-so cups bourbon (optional but really important)
5 cups day-old baguette or crusty bread, cut into 1-inch bits
3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup raisins
½ cup toasted almond slivers
Vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put raisins and almonds and enough bourbon to cover them into a jar with a pretty good seal on the lid (can use plastic wrap). Set this aside. No, you may not have one yet. They’re not ready.

Now, stir together your pumpkin, nog, sugar, eggs, egg yolk, spices, and about 2 tablespoons of bourbon in a mixing bowl. Coat your bread bits with the melted butter in another bowl, then add the pumpkin mix and toss it so it’s all covered. No, you still may not have any of the raisins. They’re not ready. Not the almonds either.

Now, put your proto-pudding into a baking pan (preferably not too deep, maybe 2” tops) and bake until it looks done, about 20-30 minutes.

When you’re ready to serve, drain your raisins and almonds – OK, fine, you can try a few on the way, just for quality control, sure – and spread them over top of the pudding. Challenge your guests to see who’ll drink the raisin-almond-flavored bourbon, or do so yourself if you’re in to that sort of thing.

You could even share!

Serve over vanilla ice cream for best effect, or eat by itself.

Home made baked beans

Home made baked beans made in a crock pot

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups dried navy beans, (optional but recommended: soak beans in water in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours and then drain) can substitute Great northern beans if you can't find navy beans
8 oz bacon, cooked and diced (organic and/or local recommended)
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, quartered
1 - 15-oz tomato sauce, plain ( I use tomato sauce canned from last summers tomatoes or Bertolli Organic Traditional Tomato & Basil Sauce
3/4 cup pure maple syrup (can use Log Cabin Original Syrup but won't be as good)
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar(Braggs)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
pepper, black or red, to taste
For those who love the really sweet type of canned baked beans ad
1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup molasses


Instructions

Place the beans, bacon, bell pepper, and onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Set aside.
In a small bowl whisk together the tomato sauce, syrup, mustard, vinegar, chili powder, salt and pepper. Pour over top of bean mixture and then add 3 1/2 cups of water. Turn the slow cooker onto high and cook for 10 to 12 hours. Discard onion pieces and serve warm.
You can ad some honey if you want them sweeter, and also if you want you can ad a ham hock.

This will make a lot of baked beans but you can freeze them just make sure to freeze them the same day you cooked them to avoid changes in texture and flavor.
We have found these to be much better then any canned beans you can buy.
