Hello Fellow Cooks:

I've been hearing how healthy it is to eat quinoa, so I bought a bag at
Costco the other day.  Does anyone have any quinoa recipes?

Thank you in advance.

[CnD] Basic Quinoa

2012-02-22 Thread gail johnson

Basic Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups cold water
Optional: 1/4 tsp salt
Quinoa Cooking Directions:
You'll need a 2 quart pot with a tight fitting lid, and a fine mesh strainer
Double the recipe if you want to have leftover quinoa for another meal 
or two Optional:
Soak the quinoa for 5 min in the cooking pot. Soaking helps quinoa to 
cook evenly, and loosens up any residue of saponin (usually removed in 
processing), which can give a bitter taste Most quinoa sold in the US 
these days has been cleaned, and steamed to remove the saponin, so 
don't worry about that overly much
To Rinse: Stir the quinoa with your hand, and carefully pour off the 
rinsing water, using a fine mesh strainer at the last Drain quinoa well 
in the strainer, transfer to the cooking pot, add 1 1/2 cups water & 
1/2 tsp salt if desired Bring to a boil, cover with a tight fitting 
lid, and turn the heat down to simmer Cook for 15 minutes Remove quinoa 
from heat and allow to sit five minutes with the lid on Fluff quinoa 
gently with a fork and serve

[CnD] Simple quinoa breakfast recipe:

2012-02-22 Thread gail johnson

Don't be blown away by this recipe.
It gives a good overall how to make it for breakfast.
It actually taste very good.
Take heart if you are not into using all the different milk products 
for example just use whatever milk you have on hand.

Same thing with the sweetener you can use brown sugar or honey.
I forgot almost to mention that the colapsable strainer's sold by Blind 
Mice Mart work fabulously when pouring off the any excess water.





Simple quinoa breakfast recipe:
cooked quinoa, simmered with non-dairy milk, dried fruit, nuts or 
seeds, optional sweetener.

2 Servings
Total Prep and Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup or so cooked quinoa
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp raisins
2 Tbsp chopped dried apricots
Substitute dried cranberries, currants, blueberries, chopped figs or 
dates as you like

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup almond, hemp or soy milk, flavored or plain - add more as needed
Optional: 1 Tbsp maple syrup, brown rice syrup or other sweetener
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a two quart saucepan
Heat on medium-low, stirring, until the quinoa has soaked up the 
liquid, and the dried fruit has plumped up nicely

Add more milk if needed until the consistency pleases you
That's it. Enjoy!
Cooking Tips:
This simple quinoa breakfast cereal will serve two people, or one who's 
very hungry. Double the recipe for 2 hungry people!
If you don't have cooked quinoa, but want to eat this quinoa breakfast 
recipe NOW, just cook everything along with the raw quinoa. Use 1/4 cup 
raw quinoa, and add the other ingredients along with 1/2 cup water. 
Make extra so you can eat quinoa for breakfast again tommorrow!

I try to put a subject line in my messages. Some people forget, and that's okay.

If we would just give recipes, ask questions, and do what the motorator says,

When will we ever stop putting people down, name calling, and such. This 
is getting way out of hand. Let's go with recipes with regard to food.


I try to put a subject line in my messages. Some people forget, and that's

If we would just give recipes, ask questions, and do what the motorator

Subject: [CnD] Basic Quinoa



Basic Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups cold water
Optional: 1/4 tsp salt
Quinoa Cooking Directions:
You'll need a 2 quart pot with a tight fitting lid, and a fine mesh 
strainer
Double the recipe if you want to have leftover quinoa for another meal or 
two Optional:
Soak the quinoa for 5 min in the cooking pot. Soaking helps quinoa to cook 
evenly, and loosens up any residue of saponin (usually removed in 
processing), which can give a bitter taste Most quinoa sold in the US 
these days has been cleaned, and steamed to remove the saponin, so don't 
worry about that overly much
To Rinse: Stir the quinoa with your hand, and carefully pour off the 
rinsing water, using a fine mesh strainer at the last Drain quinoa well in 
the strainer, transfer to the cooking pot, add 1 1/2 cups water & 1/2 tsp 
salt if desired Bring to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, and turn 
the heat down to simmer Cook for 15 minutes Remove quinoa from heat and 
allow to sit five minutes with the lid on Fluff quinoa gently with a fork 
and serve

Yes, you can use any flavor cake mix you like. I sent this to Charles's 
sister, she tried it, and email back that it was wonderful and so easy. She 
found that she could have eaten two of them. She use a  larger mug, I think 
she said it was around a 12 oz or taller one?  She used angel food cake mix 
with carrot cake mix and she loved it.  She plans on trying a different cake

mix next time. You pour the whole box of angel food cake mix and a whole box

of what ever other cake mix you choose, together in a gallon zip lock bag, 
is what she used. I imagine you could use any container that is air tight to

store it. When you want your little cake, just dip out the amount you need 
which the recipe calls for 3 table spoons full .  Then just follow the 
instructions to the  rest of it.  The angel food cake mix replaces you 
having to use any eggs in it.
 I plan to try it too, but keep forgetting to pick  up a angel food cake mix

when going to the store. grin.  Katie

Hi everyone,

When I asked for hotdog recipes someone sent me the following. I'm planning
to make this one day this week. I think I'll add some seasoning. Perhaps
seasoned breadcrumbs would be enough. 

  

Golden Nuggets
Yield: 36 servings
1/4 lb Grated Cheddar cheese, or the cheese of your choice
1/4 c Butter
1 pkg Frankfurters
2 tb Bread crumbs
3/4 c Flour
Blend cheese with butter. Stir in flour. Knead, to form dough. Take
frankfurters and cut each into 6 pieces. Use 1 teaspoon of the dough to mold
around each piece of frankfurter. Sprinkle all with bread crumbs. Place on
ungreased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Charles, I was not accusing anyone falsely or making accusations of any kind. 
It seems that in this list there is a message where someone doesn't have a 
subject line, the mistake is mentioned, and then the person sends a not 
apologizing for the error of his or her ways. This kind of thing just cloggs up 
the list.

If a note has no subject line, either read it, delete it, move on, and if the

Re: [CnD] cooking egg plant

2012-02-22 Thread Sisi Ben-Simon

Hi Bill,

your question is not stupid at all. I'm not sure about how to cook leak and 
squash. Anyway, it's not necesary to peal eggplants before cooking. You wash 
them up, cut off the stems, chop them to big bite size cubes because they 
shrink somewhat while they cook so don't cut them too small. It is 
recommended but only optional to sprincle salt over the eggplant in a bowl 
and leave them for about 20-30 minutes. Then you wash and dry them with a 
papertowel. This is done to get rid of the little seads and some bitter 
taste. Again that's optional. I do it sometimes, not always.

[CnD] Easy Baked Pork Chops From Immigrant

2012-02-22 Thread Helen Whitehead

This is tried and true! They're good!

   Easy Baked Pork Chops From Immigrant


4 bone in pork chops, thin cut

½ to ¾ c. Mayonnaise

¾ to 1 c. Italian style bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place the mayonnaise in one bowl and the bread crumbs in another. Coat the
pork chops in the mayonnaise on both sides, not too much, just enough to
have a thin layer of mayo on each side. Then coat the chops on both sides
with the Italian bread crumbs. Place them in a shallow baking dish and bake
uncovered for one hour or until pork is cooked through. You can usually tell
by the lovely fragrance in your house! Oh, and rub a little bit of oil in
the baking dish before you put the pork chops in it. Smile. Enjoy!

Re: [CnD] golden nuggets using hotdogs

Yes, that recipe was sent by Immigrant on another list, in answer to your
request. It's a recipe she has tried, and, although she's not on this list,
I know for a fact that she used seasoned bread crumbs.

Hi everyone,

When I asked for hotdog recipes someone sent me the following. I'm planning
to make this one day this week. I think I'll add some seasoning. Perhaps
seasoned breadcrumbs would be enough. 

  

Golden Nuggets
Yield: 36 servings
1/4 lb Grated Cheddar cheese, or the cheese of your choice
1/4 c Butter
1 pkg Frankfurters
2 tb Bread crumbs
3/4 c Flour
Blend cheese with butter. Stir in flour. Knead, to form dough. Take
frankfurters and cut each into 6 pieces. Use 1 teaspoon of the dough to mold
around each piece of frankfurter. Sprinkle all with bread crumbs. Place on
ungreased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

   Easy Cheesy Pork Chops
Pork chops (you may use boneless)
Thin yellow onion slices
Mayonnaise
Parmesan cheese
Place pork chops in a lightly greased casserole dish in a single layer.
Place a slice of onion on top of each pork chop. Spread mayonnaise on top of
the onion and then sprinkle liberally with the Parmesan cheese. Bake for 45
minutes to 1 hour (or until done) at 350 degrees F. (Watch them so that you
don't overcook them. Start watching them when they've baked for about 30
   minutes.)

Re: [CnD] Basic Quinoa

2012-02-22 Thread information for gwen
you can cook quinoa quie nicely in the rice cooker. if the quinoa has been pre 
rinsed, it will list it on the bag. if you get yours from bob's red mill, which 
i have seen at wal-mart, it is pre-rinsed.
you can use it as a substitute for rice; i.e. put chili over it, and there are 
some books with recipes for using it in baked goods.
it is the only "grain" which has a full compliment of total protein. it is 
actually from the spinach family.

Re: [CnD] Barilla cut spaghetti

2012-02-22 Thread Jennifer Chambers
I've tried breaking the spaghetti in a Ziploc bag, but it's harder on
my hands, for some reason.  Same with breaking it one piece at a time.
 (I have major hand problems.)  For those of us with hand issues, this
Barilla Cut thing is a fantastic solution!  Joy, you had me laughing
with your description of hunting for little pieces of spaghetti, for
I've had the same pleasure!
