Cincinnati Chili

Cincinnati is known for chili. It's different chili than from other parts of the country.. This is not your typical Tex Mex chili. They do it differently in Ohio and this is pretty authentic Cincinnati chili. Adding cocoa, allspice, and cinnamon to typical chili spices sets this apart. It looks like your typical chili with meat and big chunks of onion, but after one bite you know the difference. At first, you taste the chili and cumin. As the chili lingers in your mouth, there's a hint of chocolate and cinnamon. Serve over spaghetti and choose your favorite way to enjoy this hearty chili.

Cherry Cream Pie

My husband loves the combination of the cherries with the vanilla cream.. This is more of a cherry custard pie than a cherry cream pie, but it's quite delicious. We loved the creamy vanilla custard with the cherry topping. Adding almond extract and a little sugar brightens up the cherry topping making it taste fresher.

The Ultimate Chocolate Mint Cookie

These cookies I made sort of by accident and realized I had made the best tasting cookie I ever ate I love it when that happens. I was actually going to add some chocolate chips to it and I realized I had none, but I did have the Andes Chocolate Mint morsels. They have such a wonderful and rich flavor, I won't go back to using plain chocolate chips after this. Andes has two kinds of chocolate mint morsels - the chocolate mint and the white chocolate mint. Use either one, they are both terrific. These are simple and quick to make. Even the kids can make these Great for Christmas baking.. This is Christmas in a cookie Mint and chocolate is such a great combination and these little seasonal Andes baking chips are just wonderful in this cookie.

Citrus Coconut Milk Cake

I went over to a Christmas gathering last month at my friend James' house. He had a boatload of kumquats from Jeff's grandpa's backyard. So I basically went home with my own little boatload of kumquats. As a courtesy, I basically had to turn these kumquats into something to bring back to James for gifting me with so many kumquats. I basically took a coconut milk recipe I had always enjoyed and citrus-sided it. I added a lot of lemon and orange elements to the cake as well. For some reason beyond me, lemon and orange make kumquats taste more like kumquat in baked goods.. This is a super moist cake that is jam-packed with cheerful orange flavor.

Beef Tips & Gravy My Way

This recipe was perfect for a work night. Started it in the morning around 6 30. I was worried about the meat being dissolved, cooking so long. So I started with frozen meat. It worked. I tasted it when I got home & added the Herbs de Provence & celery salt with the mushrooms. Just right Thanks so much for the inspiration Debbie . This is an incredibly easy dinner to prepare. The different soups make this dish extra creamy and perfect to serve over rice or pasta. It's really full of flavor. The meat cooks to perfection and is very tender. Big chunks of mushrooms and onions are so good in the flavorful sauce. The gravy is very thick, so make sure to stir every so often to keep the sides from burning.

Grilled Coconut Chicken

So this is a twist I took from a deep-fried coconut breaded recipe. I wanted a healthier style of chicken and this is what I came up with. It is so moist and delish . This is a fantastic way to up the flavor in chicken breasts. The coconut milk marinade makes the chicken moist and flavorful. Once grilled, the chicken is so tender you can cut it with a fork. You taste hints of the nutmeg and cardamom from the marinade. We love the crunch from the toasted coconut in each bite. It's sweet, salty, and savory. Yum

I will definitely make this again . These Brussels sprouts have a buttery nuttiness which is only enhanced by the lemon zest and sprinkling of fresh Parmesan. If you're looking for an easy Brussels sprouts recipe definitely give this one a try. It will be a delicious addition to any dinner table.

Smoky Fried Green Tomatoes With Fresh Garden Salsa

My husband and I came up with this recipe after collecting a lot of produce from our home garden.. These are heavenly and perfect for summertime.

Beef Tips and Noodles

WOW This one surprised even me. I put some special ingredients into this one. A rib eye from Omaha Steaks , a portobello mushroom, and Martha Gooch's Kluski Noodles (Egg Noodles.) It surpassed my expectations. I usually make my Beef Tips and Noodles from rib eyes as I did this time. You could serve this to your future mother and father-in-law. I didn't tire of it right up through the second serving later that day. And had half the noodles left over for another something.. These are delicious beef tips and noodles that would be terrific for a cozy night in or for serving to party guests. It's not the basic beef tips you think of. Rib eye gives great flavor and the drippings make a fabulous gravy. We think this should be called beef tips and gravy over noodles since that's what it is. You'll find yourself using the yummy gravy in other ways (like dipping a roast beef sandwich). With the rib eye, it's a little pricier to make but well worth it.

INSTRUCTIONS :

For noodles bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 8 oz. dried noodles 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon salt after coming to a boil. Cook noodles per package directions. I cooked an additional 8 minutes. n fry pan cook rib eye steak to medium-rare. Remove from pan and slice and cube to 1/4 by 1/4. lice and cube portobello mushroom to 1/4 by 1/4 cubes. In a separate fry pan sautee mushrooms in 1 teaspoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons butter over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add cubed rib eye to mushroom pan and keep warm. I had an equal amount of rib rye and mushroom. dd two beef bouillon cubes to 1/2 cup water and nuke for two minutes. Dissolve bouillon cubes. dd beef broth to the pan that steak was fried in. Bring to low simmer and add 1 additional cup of water. dd 2 tablespoons of corn starch to 1/2 cup cold water and make a slurry. t low simmer add corn starch slurry to the pan and stir and increase heat to thicken the gravy. dd 1/4 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet to darken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes 2 cups. rain noodles and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in them and stir. late butter noodles top with steak and mushrooms and then cover with gravy. ote I made two single meals out of this and still have 1/2 the noodles for other offerings. I will make chicken noodle soup or freeze the remaining noodles. ote I could have added a quarter cup of sweet red wine to the gravy the last few minutes but chose not to this time. ote This was a real pleasure. I could also have added 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sour cream to the gravy and I would have had excellent beef tomato gravy rather than a brown gravy it is also excellent. ote A second rib eye steak and all of the very large portobello mushroom and the noodles would have served four people amply. You have to pay attention to discern the difference between the steak and the mushroom. ote You could use cube roast meat for this if you slow cooked it in the oven for one to two hours in some beef juice or gravy. Rib eye or a tender steak negates the need for this.

The Best Crusty Bread (Dutch Oven)

Since I retired in 2010, I have been in search of the perfect crusty bread recipe. You know, the kind you find in great Italian restaurants that have a gorgeous crackly crust and a chewy inside, perfect for dipping in olive oil I actually don't remember where I found it. It was an adaptation from a site called Simply So Good except I use bread flour instead of AP flour.. The next time you want warm crusty bread, give this recipe a try. The outside is crisp while the inside stays firm and moist. To get the true crust effect, start the dough the night before. The aroma of the fresh bread baking in the Dutch oven will make the house smell wonderful. When you open the Dutch oven, there's the perfect loaf of bread.

Stuffed Portabella Caps

This makes a hearty breakfast and or a good side for a creamy pasta dish. It could be looked at as a retake of the Egg McMuffin. Low carb and full of vegetables. The egg yolk makes a yummy sauce that brings it all together. DDP1.. The flavors in the layers of this stuffed portabella are amazing. The beefy mushroom topped with Canadian bacon makes this recipe very hearty. Stuffed with wilted spinach, savory cheese, and Italian seasoning, the combination of flavors is heavenly. Our favorite part was the egg on top. We cooked ours to have a runny yolk that made an amazing sauce once broken into. If you like your eggs a little firmer, prepare them that way.

2-Hour Turkey

I ran across this recipe a few years back from my local grocery store. I was VERY skeptical that one could actually cook an entire turkey (regardless of size) in about 2 hours and have it be edible. Well, not only does this actually work, it produces the BEST roasted turkey I've had to date. NO MORE GETTING UP AT 4 a.m. to start the holiday turkey, NO MORE BASTING. It's so incredibly fast and easy. It has become the only way I roast turkeys. Turkey...it's not JUST for holidays, anymore. The biggest turkey I made this way was 22.5 pounds. It took about 2 hours 15 minutes to cook. WOW.. The flavor is all that you would expect from a well-cooked Thanksgiving turkey, but the technique is so wonderfully different The trick is roasting it on high heat and having the turkey wide open. A great time-saver on a holiday when the stove gets a workout. If you find the oven smoking, definitely follow the tip of keeping an inch of water in the pan. The one drawback with this method is you won't have the yummy drippings for gravy as you do from a slow-roasted turkey.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 475 degrees F 240-250 degrees C. This is what youll roast it at for the ENTIRE time. Since this employs the use of a VERY hot oven make sure your oven is CLEAN before you start AND put about 1 inch of water in the bottom of the roasting pan to reduce the risk of smoking your family out of the house.nnNOTE Even WITH a pristine oven I still smoked out my house last Thanksgiving... so a tip to cut down on the smoke issue is to add about an inch of water or broth to the roaster pan...and keep replenishing it as needed. By doing this not only was the smoking problem eliminated but I had terrific drippings for gravynnPlace oven rack on LOWEST or SECOND-TO-LOWEST position in oven. The lowest position may be too hot in some ovens since its directly above the heating elements. emove all giblets neck pop-up thermometer if there is one and any trussing like the plastic thing that holds the legs together. Rinse turkey THOROUGHLY inside and out with cool water letting all water drain out of neck and body cavities. Pat dry inside and out with paper towels. lace on V or U-shaped wire rack in roasting pan so that turkey doesnt rest on the bottom of the pan. The first time I made this I didnt have a rack so I just slapped it in my grandmothers old-fashioned blue-enamel roaster pan and it turned out FINE. nnIf you dont have a rack...take a long piece of aluminum foil and wad it up into a long rope then coil it in the bottom of the pan and rest your turkey on that.nnNOTE I STRONGLY RECOMMEND KEEPING 1-2 INCHES OF WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR ROASTING PAN DURING COOKING. This will GREATLY reduce smoking which can be brutal. The first year I made this I didnt put water in the bottom of the pan...and I smoked out my house. The turkey was fabulous but the house was SO smoky. ub the entire outside of dried-off turkey with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. I use Kosher salt because it has large coarse grains. ull wing tips AWAY from the body twist them and tuck them backward under the bird... up by its neck. sing aluminum foil form caps over the end of each drumstick. If any parts of the turkey extend beyond the pan rim make a foil collar underneath to make sure drippings flow back into the pan. Do NOT tie legs together do NOT add stuffing do NOT close body cavity. Its probably okay to put a little seasoning in the cavity herbs lemon onion but dont fill up the cavity. our 2 inches of water into the bottom of the pan. ake on the 2nd to lowest rack in the oven. alfway through cooking time turn the roasting pan around 180 degrees to ensure even cooking. Do NOT flip the bird over. ts done when the internal temp in the thickest part of BOTH the THIGH and BREAST is 160 degrees. Make certain they are BOTH at temp. Sometimes the thighs take a bit longer. When done remove from the oven.nnApproximate Cooking Timingn10-13 lbs. 50 minutes to 1 1/4 hrs.n13-16 lbs. 1 1/4 hrs to 1 hour 50 minutes.n16-19 lbs. 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hrs.n19-22 lbs. 1 3/4 hrs to 2 1/4 hrs.n22-24 lbs. 2 hrs to 2 1/2 hrs.n25 lbs. 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hrs...or a bit more depending on how humongous it is.

Summer Grillin' Vegetable & Fish Bundles

This has always been one of my favorite grilling dishes because it is so easy to make. During the winter months, you can broil or bake in a 350 oven seam side up for 20 to 30 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.. The fish and vegetables cook perfectly in this recipe. Yummy grilled dinner in a nice, convenient package. Preparing the fish and vegetables in a foil pack, instead of multiple pans, means fewer dirty dishes to clean. We prepared the meal with both the savory herb and soy sauce mixtures. If we had to choose one, we'd go with the soy sauce but both were quite tasty. This is a great summertime meal.

Eileen's Juicy Burgers

My sons wanted hamburgers for dinner. I just purchased a hamburger press so I could make my own burgers and freeze them for later. Fresh is always best but I have been buying frozen pre-made ones for a while now. I decided to make some but my way. The kids loved them - very flavorful and juicy. I made 8 nice sized burgers and any leftover meat mixture can be used for meatballs or meatloaf. Good anytime. Enjoy . Thanks to the milk and hot water, these are some juicy burgers. Packed with seasonings, these will be delicious at your next cookout. Mustard is an unusual ingredient to add to the actual burger but we loved it. It gave a little zing to the meat. Make sure to chill the mixture for over 3 hours. It really helps the burgers hold their shape. We've made them on a gas grill and indoor grill - both were delicious

Make a small indentation in the center of the burger so it cooks evenly. o not press down on your burgers because youll lose the juices that are inside to make the burgers juicy and flavorful and could cause the burgers to end up dry. grilled our burgers for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the pinkness was gone from inside but you can decide how you like yours done. Again you can fry them but grilling them sure taste better. nce done place on your choice of buns. We love onion buns. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy

Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been baking lots of banana bread lately and while I love it, I wanted something different to do with my ripe bananas. I found this recipe and tweaked it some to make it mine. They have a very soft, cake-like texture. Enjoy . Tender and moist, these chocolate chip cookies were a HUGE hit in the Test Kitchen. They're like banana bread in a cookie form. Outside, there are crisp edges like a cookie. Inside, though, it's soft like banana bread. We opted to add chocolate chips and nuts. It's a classic flavor combination in banana bread and works just as well in these cookies.

Streusel Yam Casserole

This creamy yam casserole has been handed down for generations. I have taken the honor of serving this family favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas. With one mixing bowl, ingredients are mixed all together, poured into a casserole dish, topped with brown sugar, flour, and butter to make a crunchy caramelized top. This recipe can be made a day in advance and kept in the refrigerator either before or after baking time. I've had people tell me they don't like yams until they taste this one . Sweet potato casserole is a staple holiday side and this easy recipe is delish. It's sweet enough, some may consider it a dessert. Using canned yams means it can be made in no time (and as V points out it can be prepped the day before). The casserole part is buttery, creamy, and sweet. We loved the streusel. Once it slightly cools, it creates a yummy sugary topping. This is going to become a must-make holiday side dish.

Baked Apple & Cranberries With Dumplings

Gala apples were getting old, and I craved a dessert, so I cored, peeled and chopped them, and combined them in a casserole with fresh cranberries. Warm desserts are so satisfying in October Using what I had and not wishing to make a very sweet pudding, I used honey and a small amount of cinnamon and sugar. For texture, I added chopped walnuts and made dumplings with a packaged mix. My husband remarked that it was very good. Now that's a welcome comment . Sweet apples and tart cranberries are always a yummy combo. This dessert isn't overly sweet but it is enough to satisfy your sweet tooth thanks to the honey and cinnamon.

Apple & Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This is a combination of 2 recipes or rather taking the best part of a recipe and putting it to better use.

Serving a sesame peanut butter sauce with the fresh green beans is an excellent pairing. The warm sauce is bursting with sesame and peanut butter flavor.

Cheddar Cheese Risotto

Takes some time, but worth it. This dish will serve 2 if used as a main dish. I prefer to serve it as a side dish. If I use it as a main dish, I like to pair it with a green salad. If you want to save prep time, use pre-shredded cheese.. Risotto is perfect when you want to make a special dish. Adding white wine and Dijon mustard at the beginning of the cooking process adds richness to the risotto. The Arborio rice is cooked al dente and it's not mushy. Melting cheddar cheese adds to the creaminess. This would make a delicious main course for a special dinner, or be the perfect side for a meal. The trick is to stir constantly and cook the rice on low medium heat. It's a process, but risotto is worth it. This is a real winner.

I can not eat peanut butter anymore because I was diagnosed with a peanut allergy after having an anaphylactic reaction this past year.

Sweetheart Supper

I had to come up with a special Valentine's Day meal. I just hate going out to a restaurant on Valentine's Day and having to order from a Special Menu for that night. Usually overpriced and not as good as eating in the same places on a normal night. So I did Lobster Tails, Steamed Blue Lake Green Beans, Herb Rice, with butter and a salad. This will work well for any special occasion or just because.. Prepare this Valentine's Day meal for your sweetheart and they will love you forever. Each component is simple and tasty. Put everything together and it's equivalent to a meal from a fancy restaurant. The herb rice is packed with flavor. Toasting the rice in butter adds so much to it. The fresh green beans are simple, but melting butter over them, along with salt and pepper, elevates them from ordinary green beans. Using a bamboo skewer in the lobster tail, the outcome is a perfect, beautiful lobster tail.

Peppermint Eggnog Punch

I have been making this since about 1970 when our boys were young and it is enjoyed by young and old. For the last 14 years, we have hosted a children's gingerbread party at our home. It's messy but a lot of fun for all. We always serve this punch and the children start asking if we have it when they come in the door. Peppermint ice cream is sometimes hard to find. You can usually find it in the grocery stores in December. Here I buy it from an ice cream store called Kilwins. Kilwins Peppermint Ice Cream is better than what you find in the grocery, but the grocery store brand will work.. Pour yourself a glass of this eggnog punch and you'll enjoy the ultimate flavors of Christmas. It'll transport you to the North Pole. The eggnog is fizzy mixed with the ginger ale. Melted peppermint ice cream swirls throughout the punch. Super yummy Take a big gulp and you'll end up with peppermint foam on your nose... it'll make you feel like a kid again.

Doing the crust this way makes it tender as handling it too much will produce a tough crust. Remove the top sheet of wax paper and invert crust onto pie plate. Peel 2nd sheet of wax paper from the crust and fit crust into pan. Once your turkey mixture is in the pan invert crust over top of pie and seal edges.

Mom's Fresh Banana Cake

My mom made this recipe 100's of times while growing up. It is so moist and good. Her secret was in the bananas. The night before she went to make this she would put 3 or more bananas in the blender and puree them. Then she would let them sit all night in the refrigerator, sometimes two nights. The banana puree would be dark and fruity-smelling. She would add that to the cake batter and her cake would be perfect and moist every time . Letting mashed bananas sit overnight enhances the banana flavor in this easy to make cake. It has the flavor of banana bread, but a texture more like a carrot cake.

Kiddos are going to go crazy for these homemade chicken fingers. The mix of herbs and spices is subtle but super flavorful. The ginger ale in the tempura batter gives these chicken fingers a slightly sweet taste. You'll never buy frozen chicken fingers again.

Glorious Baked Cheese Cauliflower

My hubby doesn't care for cauliflower, so I get to make a small casserole dish of this all for myself I have this when he has his peas (ugh). I think he got the short end of that deal ) This is simply wonderful And when having company, even the kids enjoy it (Gotta be the cheese ) Hope you enjoy it, too . Kelly calls this glorious baked cauliflower. Glorious it is Super creamy and cheesy. I put a little Parmesan cheese in the topping for a little extra zing but it would be just as delish without it
