Creamy Soy Dip
A mix of miso, tofu and cream may sound a bit odd but trust me, these are one of the finest blends I've recently come up with! It tastes almost like a rich cheese dip :-) Goes well with rice puff crackers or your choice of veggie sticks.
Pear, Persimmon and Hazelnut Salad
Feta and Walnut Spread with Fig Preserves
After a few swings and misses from a friend's ill-trusted cookbook, I decided to toss the recipes and go with what I had on hand. The result was spectacular--the hit of the party! Salty, sweet and nutty, and with just a hint of spice from the black pepper, this dip is the grown-up version of the cream-cheese-and-jelly sandwich. It's important to use high-quality feta and preserves--don't even think about those plastic-packed feta "crumbles." I recommend Bon Maman fig preserves. Can't find fig preserves? Try swapping out apricot or strawberry. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or toasted slices of bread. - calliehoo
Texas Cheese Ball
Although not necessarily a "dip," I think a classic cheese ball qualifies because if you're impolite or just really hungry, you can put your cracker right in the ball. This recipe came as a child of the necessity of invention as I was asked to do a cheeseball for a function that tasted like one my mom had made using a pre-assembled spice mix, but we didn't have any of the spice mix left. So, the recipe that follows is what we came up with, and it was a hit and was requested at every holiday party we had this season.
My beloved home made mayonnaise
Home made mayonnaise is something I have always had since I was a child. With boiled fish, boiled potatoes and vegetables, with bread as a snack but above all as a dip. You can use this mayonnaise as a dip for everything savory and any crudités. But my favourite use is for the fondue bourguignonne my grandmother used to prepare every year for my birthday. Home made mayonnaise is so delicate that you can have it just plain but it can also be enriched with any kind of spices (I like curry), minced parsley and garlic, or even ketchup to have it pink (which is a perfect dip for shrimps). While blending, sometimes curds could form: you can save it by adding another egg and make a bigger quantity in the same container. The amount of necessary oil is rough as it could vary a lot according to the kind of oil and the dimension of the egg.
Chee'dip
This was the snack my children always called for (and didn't always clearly enunciate). It's based loosely on a dip served at a pseudo-Mexican (it wasn't even TexMex, but the cheese dip remains iconic in my memory) restaurant in town. Some version of this dip, generally known just as Ro-Tel after the key ingredient, is served at 90 percent of the casual parties in the American South, particularly if said parties involve teen-agers. But it's a tasty and enjoyable dip, and has a way of continuing to appear on the chip in your hand long after you thought you'd quit eating it.
Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips
I made these super healthy salt and vinegar kale chips the other night before dinner, and was shocked, I mean absolutely shocked, that my children ate them. Not only did they boys eat these, they loved them. Trust me, while these kale chips are healthy, this is a sophisticated flavor combination for children. http://www.elanaspantry.com/salt-and-vinegar-kale-chips/
Sauteéd Kale
I love kale. My boys love kale. Even my husband goes for it. Kale is a universally favorite vegetable in our family. And boy am I lucky since it's a superfood. Given our collective kale obsession, I am always looking for more ways to cook kale, and this is one of my favorites. http://www.elanaspantry.com/sauteed-kale/
Roasted Cauliflower Salad With Watercress, Walnuts and Gruyère
You can make this kind of salad with almost any vegetable that won’t wilt or burn when subjected to a copious slick of oil and a blast of high heat. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, beets, parsnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash and rutabagas all work well. One of the best vegetables for this salad, though, is cauliflower. The florets turn juicy and tender in the center while crisping and browning around the edges, and cauliflower’s mild flavor is amenable enough to pair nicely with almost anything else you toss in the bowl.
Salted Plantains
A deliciously easy to make Mexican snack.
Easy Labneh
OneTribeGourmet posted up the traditional way of making Labneh but here's a new version that one of my relatives came up with that gets rid of the old reusable bag once and for all...
Cinnamon Pecan Brittle
This Cinnamon Pecan Brittle is great for a party or nice to keep around as a gluten-free snack. With very few ingredients, this is a recipe you should save.
Marinated & Grilled Spring Artichokes
This recipe yields the best Marinated and Grilled Spring Artichokes! Dipping sauce like aioli or oil and lemon are not needed whatsoever. Easy and delicious.
Potato and Onion Frittata
This dish is based on the classic omelet of Spain, tortilla española. In the authentic dish, the potatoes are fried, and most recipes call for copious amounts of oil. In this version, I steam the potatoes to cut down on oil and use a waxier variety of potato with a lower glycemic index. Waxier potatoes also have a better texture when steamed instead of fried.
Poached Egg Soup (Changua con Huevo)
There is a complexity to this Poached Egg Soup recipe: cilantro, amazing textures, green onions, the lovely blend of milk and stock, and that poached egg.
Simplest Fried Okra
Okra, cornmeal, oil, salt. That's it. As always, take care (and wear shoes!) when deep frying. ---BTE
Sweet Potater Bakes
Along the lines of Sweet Potato fries, I bring to you Sweet Potato Bakes. A healthier and -in my opinion- tastier branch-off of these awesome spudniks. Seasoning the taters with Garam Masala (which can easily be found at Whole Foods and the like) adds a touch of Indian deliciousness to these bad boys.
grilled apple slices with prosciutto & cheddar
In this Prosciutto Wrapped Apples recipe the nutritional fiber from the apples and protein from the cheese and prosciutto will keep you satisfied. Try it!
Rise and Shine Spiced Pink Grapefruit Brûlée
We spent many a holiday with the in-laws. After "us kids" started having children, my mother-in-law elected to go by "Nonnie." Before she became a grandmother, and after, she always served the most elegant holiday breakfasts to us all. But what stands out the most in my mind is how she would prepare a broiled grapefruit half for each person upon rising. We were all allowed to get up whenever we wanted on Christmas morning. As we wandered downstairs, our individual grapefruit would be waiting. She deftly cut the sections of the grapefruit perfectly with a grapefruit knife, drizzled maple syrup on top, sprinkled with cinnamon, and then browned them under the broiler. Of course she served these with her endless supply of grapefruit spoons to everyone who wanted one. The care that she took with each one always made us feel so special. And best of all, you got to talk with Nonnie, in the kitchen, usually just one on one, as you savored your warm grapefruit. She exuded a delightfully sunny kind of rise and shine outlook that was rather contagious. It was a wonderful way to start the morning. Once everyone was up, we then all sat around a huge table for a sumptuous feast; sometimes we were a table of 14, but it was talking with Nonnie over that perfect grapefruit half that I remember most fondly. I am adding my sumac to the recipe. I think Nonnie would have liked it this way, too. This recipe is dedicated to her.
Grown-Up Granita
This concoction feels granita-like to me, granita being — as you may know — a sort of slushy Italian dessert usually made from water, sugar and fruit or other flavorings. Obviously, this isn’t that. In fact, I cheat completely, beginning with a pint of good-quality sorbet and then simply adding the other ingredients, two of which contain alcohol.
Danish Blue & Cheddar Cheese Balls
My mother is a wonderful cook and she has taught me many a lesson in the kitchen. However, the real chef in the family is my grandmother, who we adoringly call, Honey. Honey recently gifted me all of her famous recipes and I feel like I have inherited the Hope Diamond. One of my favorite ways to 'spoil my supper' growing up was with these tasty cheese balls.
Tawny Port Two Cheese Spread
I wanted something different from the typical cheddar and wine spread. Something a little tangy and a little sweet, a little nutty and a little spicy. The port provides a nutty flavor and the quatres epices give it a nice warmth.
Cranberry Bucheron with Frangelico
My favorite hors d'oeuvres are easy to put together and full of flavor. It is no wonder then, that I love baked cheese and often have at least one version on the table during cocktail hour. Although I usually turn to brie for this task, this recipe is lovely with bucheron.
Turkish Figs with Anise and Walnuts
These sweet and savory, soft and crunchy Turkish fig treats are always in my travel bag whether flying or driving. The recipe is simple with anise and walnuts.
