Top Three Favorite Recipes

[mudbug]

Hi all!

Needing some inspiration... What are your top three favorite recipes you like to make at home? (Sticky Chicken not included )

[Isa]

There are so many. Are you talking baked good or entree or main dish or dessert? I'll give you a few of each.



I'll have to say scones and cinnamon bread for breakfast. There's also a pecan granny smith muffin I really like.


In winter, nothing beats onion soup. White asparagus vinaigrette. I can't think of anything else, there must something wrong with me this morning.


Main dish, in winter I really enjoy paprika chicken. Red lentil dahl is also a favourite and finally pasta with a tomato eggplant sauce.


Dessert, apple crisp, for now anyway. Tapioca brulee is great. The fun of the brulee without all the calories. Creme caramel.

Isa,

Open to anything. Look forward to the recipes!

Since I have some oriental blood in me, I would like to say that my dishes always have rice in them. I also eat lumpia (once again, I would like to bring to your attention that this is the Filipino word for egg roll). I always love soup dishes, especially on a cold winter day. Most of my favorite recipes are posted in the Recipe Exchange Forum; you can find them if you look for them under my name. I've got more recipes at home, if you want them.

What recipes?

Tomato-lentil soup. Thick, spicy, and the best thing for cold misty evenings.

Aggression cookies (how can you not love to make cookies that you mix by hand!?!?)

Sauteed mushroom and swiss omelettes

I guess my three dishes are the favorites of my husband, which makes me think I enjoy making things the most when it is for someone else. As simple as they are, sometimes simple can be more impressive than intricate masterpieces.

What are aggression cookies Shimmer?

[nancya]

1. Fresh bread...what a surprise. And I knead by hand if I'm feeling the need to beat something (Bam! Bam! Bam!)

2. Lasagna a la Andersons. Probably would not be recognizable to Italians...but it's home.

3. Chocolate cake. Almost any kind...but just discovered a chocolate orange cake I am in love with. (must restrain myself)

[Athenaeus]

Couliflower cream soup or onion soup or tomato soup (it depends on the season)

Bread kneaded with my hands that I make three times a week anyway

Everykind of barbecued juicy meat.


Carnivorous Athenaeus

First of all, Nancya- recipe for chocolate orange cake please! Are there even other ingredients in the world that cause such massive cravings as the combo of chocolate and orange? I even add orange extract to my brownies....

Okay, here is the recipe for aggression cookies. I've had it since I was about 8, from a cookbook my Mom bought called "Cooking for Kids" or something like that. It has always been my favorite!!

Aggression Cookies
3 cups oatmeal
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups butter
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

(you can also add any other ingredient like chocolate chunks, nuts, raisins, etc)

Dump all ingredients in large bowl. Mash it!!! Knead it!!! Pound it!!! The longer and harder you mix it, the better it tastes.
Roll dough into small balls.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

So, I guess stress relief is not only found in kneading bread....

A simple roast beef with port, rosemary gravy and yorkshire pudding. Nothing better. Pasta of any kind and finally anything off my grill.

[coolJ]

Corn bread,

quesadillas,

pasta, all kinds and lots of it, especially with homemade cream sauces. I don't do the tomato thing, and I hate onions as well.

[zombie_chef]

Great idea for a thread here are 3 of my favorites although it was hard to pick them from many:

Trout paupiettes stuffed with shrimp mousse, server with a white wine cream lemon and basil sauce

Pork and cabbage potstickers served with soy-ginger sauce

Homemade Chicken Noodle soup with an egg noodle recipe my mom handed down to me.

I havent had breakfast, now my mouth is watering!

Isa,

Referring to your post

There are so many. Are you talking baked good or entree or main dish or dessert? I'll give you a few of each.

In my original post I meant recipes with measured ingredients and instructions, but generalizations will work too.
