    Re: Great homemade recipes

    someone in my LS pointed me to this blog:

    http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/

    where she has some really interesting/easy/tasty recipes, a lot of stuff that I would consider "crowd pleaser" type dishes.

    The pioneer place is pretty awesome, but the enthusiasm is quite painful.

    Yea depending on my mood she's either funny or annoying. Just look at the pictures and then go to the bottom for the condensed recipe.

    Two of my favorite foodblogs:

    http://carolcookskeller.blogspot.com/


    The blogger is going through the entire The French Laundry Cookbook, and her writing is often entertaining.

    http://closetcooking.blogspot.com/

    I've made alot of recipes from here. The writing is clear and the blogger actually responds to questions that you ask.


    http://justbento.com/

    Is also neat, if you want to bento it up.

    Re: Great homemade recipes

    This is a seafood salsa, almost like Ceviche. I love this stuff!!

    Campechana

    3 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
    2 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
    1 large yellow onion, chopped
    8 cloves garlic, sliced
    1 cup white vinegar
    1/2 cup karo syrup
    2 Tablespoons Kosher salt
    1 Chipotle Pepper, from a can, minced (add more for a little extra heat. I usually use 2-3, but I like spicey)
    juice of one lime
    1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
    2 large avocados, cubed
    1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
    1 pound shrimp, boiled in crab boil and peeled
    1 pound of crabmeat

    Combine tomatos, peppers, onions, garlic, vinegar, daro, salt, black pepper, and chipotle in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes. Chill mix in an ice bath. Add shrimp, crab, cilantro, avocado and lime juice. Let set for half hour or so, giving the ingredients time to meld. Serve with tortilla chips and side cups of finely minced Jalapenos, minced cilantro and lime wedges.

    1 lb ziti
    1/2 lb ricotta
    8-12 oz. Mozzarella
    26 oz. Sauce + 15 or so to cover the top


    Mix in pot you cooked ziti in, move into an aluminum baking pan, bake on 350 for about 40-50 minutes and enjoy the cheesy goodness. So easy and yet so good.

    I love http://www.epicurious.com -- all magazine (tested) recipes going back years, and none that are just "get the already processed bits and chuck them together" you seem to get on places like allrecipes.

    Coat bottom with refried beans, then layer the rest of this on top (preferably in this order, bottom to top, to keep things fresh)

    Sour Cream
    Salsa
    Tomato chunks
    Cilantro
    Lettuce
    Cheese


    Cheap, easy, and scores with just about anybody.
