I sub plain good yogurt for sour cream in baking if I don't have any sour cream..no difference in texture or taste at all..

Dream Whip is still available, Kraft makes it... You add milk & vanilla.... I kinda like the Redi-Whip commercial... A gal goes into a restaurant and asks for pie... The waitress asks if she wants apple or cherry.. Then she asks if she wants oil or cream and is holding what looks like a Cool Whip container and Redi-Whip... lol I don't like the way Cool Whip coats my mouth either... To me, it's like eating cold greasy gravy. Here's what Wired says about Cool Whip.... LOL ..... "A delicious blend of sugar, wax, and condom lube."

Cookalong #39 ------- CITRUS clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by wizardnm (My Page) on Mon, Jan 31, 11 at 16:13 It seems like a good time to resume the Cookalongs, the last one was in December. Instead of pulling a name out of a hat, I decided to pick the first ingredient for 2011. I'm choosing Citrus because it's in season and because there are so many good things to use it in. So please dig out your favorite T+T recipes that call for any of the citrus flavors, orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit. If you know where the recipe came from please give credit. A quick reminder, please only post recipes you have actually made and if you have a picture please post that too. A recipe that you found on the net is OK if you have made it but is not OK if you haven't. We are only interested in T+T. In a couple of weeks I'll jot down all the names of those who participated in this Cookalong and pull a new name out of the hat for that person to pick a new focus ingredient. I'll post that name at the end of the thread and if I can, I'll also email that person. So please check to make sure that your email through GW is working. My cooking has been in a rut lately so I am really looking forward to some new recipes to liven up our meals. Nancy Here is a link that might be useful: Cookalong #38 ---- Dates!

I prefer it with bone-in chicken breasts but made it a couple of weeks ago with the boneless ones. HONEY CURRIED CHICKEN 4 bone-in chicken or boneless chicken breasts or 1 cut up chicken 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine (I used 2 Tbs. of butter and 1 Tbs. safflower oil) 1/4 cup honey 1/2 cup orange juice 2 Tbs. prepared mustard 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. curry powder 2 Tbs. dark rum Place chicken skin side up in shallow baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine remaining ingredients, stirring well. Pour sauce over chicken. Bake for one hour (less for boneless breasts), basting occasionally with sauce. Note: I usually use skinless bone-in breasts so I turn them over halfway through the cooking time. I also melt the butter in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave and then add the honey and orange juice directly to it so I don't dirty measuring cups. Can sprikle top with toasted almonds or cashews, if desired.

Orange Salad with Stuffed Dates SERVES 4 1/2 cup sliced almonds 8 medjool dates 2 ounces soft goat cheese 4 navel oranges 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar Salt and pepper, to taste 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup whole flat-leaf parsley leaves 1 small red onion, thinly sliced Set the oven at 375 degrees. Place the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast the nuts, turning several times, for 5 to 8 minutes or until brown. Watch them carefully, because they burn easily. Use a sharp paring knife to cut a lengthwise slit on one side of each date; don't cut all the way through. Remove the pits. With a small blunt knife, press 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese inside each date. Pinch the sides of the dates together; the goat cheese should show at the seam. Use a serrated knife to cut off both ends of one of the oranges. Set a flat end on a cutting board. Make a vertical cut in the orange between the rind and the flesh, starting at the top and curving the knife as you move to the bottom of the fruit. Continue making vertical cuts around the orange, so that the rind and pith are removed and only a round of flesh remains. Place the orange on a rounded side and slice 1/4-inch rounds through the segments (the slices should look like the spokes of a wheel). Repeat with the remaining the oranges. On each of 4 large salad plates, overlap orange slices. Set the plates aside. In a bowl, whisk the vinegar with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil. Spoon the dressing over the oranges. Garnish the oranges with parsley leaves, red onion slices, and toasted sliced almonds. Set 2 stuffed dates on each plate and serve at once.

When time is up, make a syrup using the sugar and water. While it's cooling, strain solids out of vodka using a fine mesh strainer. Then strain again through cloth. (Note: cheesecloth is too coarse; I used rags torn from an old white cotton bed sheet. Be sure to wet the cloth before you start. This step can take a while, but it's worth it to get all the sediment out.) Add about half the sugar syrup to the infused vodka, taste, and keep adding until it tastes sweet enough to you (traditional limoncello is quite sweet, but yours doesn't have to be). Pour into pretty bottle(s) (e.g. the final container) and age for another two weeks. You can use this recipe to make liqueur from just about any citrus fruit, but you might want to increase the amount of zest for less aromatic fruits such as tangerines.

FLOURLESS CLEMENTINE CAKE 4-5 clementines (about 375g or 1 lb.) 6 eggs 225g sugar (1 cup + 2 Tblsp.) 250g ground almonds (2-1/3 cups) 1 heaping tsp. baking powder Put the clementines in a pot with some cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the seeds. Dump the clementines - skins, pith, fruit and all - and give a quick blitz. Then tip in all the remaining ingredients and pulse to a pulp. Preheat the oven to 375� F. Butter and line an 8-inch springform pan. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and bake for an hour, when a skewer will come out clean; you'll probably have to cover with foil after about 40 minutes to stop the top burning. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, on a rack, but in the pan. When the cake's cold, you can take it out of the tin. I think this is better a day after it's made, but I don't complain about eating it any time. I've also made this with an equal weight of oranges, and with lemons, in which case I increase the sugar to one and one-quarter cups and slightly anglicize it, too, by adding a glaze made of confectioner's sugar mixed to a paste with lemon juice and a little water.

Here are some of my favorites: Lars' Lime Pie Crust 6 tbsp unsalted butter 2-1/2 tbsp sugar 1-1/4 cups Graham cracker crumbs Filling 2 tbsp cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese 2 tsp sugar 2 eggs, slightly beaten 3-4 fresh limes (enough for 1/2 cup juice) 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 smidgeon salt (1/32 tsp) 1 - 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk Topping 1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp cornstarch Directions Melt butter and add sugar. This can be done in a 9" or 8" Pyrex pie pan, or a bowl, as you prefer. Add the Graham cracker crumbs and mix with a fork to combine. Press into a 9" pie pan and bake 7 minutes at 350� and allow to cool. Soften the cream cheese in a bowl with 2 tsp sugar and add the eggs. Beat to combine thoroughly. Zest the limes, preferably with a Microplane grater, to obtain 1 tbsp lime zest, to be used later. Squeeze limes to obtain at least half a cup of lime juice, and add the cornstarch . Mix this with the cream cheese/egg mixture and add the salt and condensed milk, and combine. A hand-held mixer can be used at this point, especially if you have used it to beat the cream cheese and eggs. Stir in the lime zest by hand and pour the mixture into the slightly cooled pie shell. Bake at 375 degree for 18 minutes. Allow the pie to cool, and then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Chill the egg beaters and bowl for the whipping cream in the freezer while the pie is chilling, and then whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and cornstarch and beat until fairly stiff. Cover the top of the chilled pie with whipped cream and serve. Yield: 8 servings. Lars' Hummus Ingredients 1/2 pound (1-1/3 c) dried garbanzo beans, (about 3-1/2 cups cooked) 1/3 cup lemon juice 2-3 large cloves of garlic (4-5 if small) 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup toasted sesame seed oil 1/2 cup tahini (toasted, if available) 2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp cayenne 1 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste) 1-2 tbsp water, if needed Directions Cook beans according to package instructions. I generally boil them for two minutes in a large pan, with triple height of water. Then I turn off the heat and soak for 1 hour covered and then wash them. Return to pan with water to cover plus 1/2 tsp baking soda and simmer for about 1-1/2 hours, or until tender. They will get tender much more quickly with the added baking soda. After cooking, I rinse them twice with cold water to remove the cooking water. Put the drained beans in a large food processor with the peeled garlic cloves (coarsely chopped) and the rest of the ingredients. Process until smooth. If it is too thick, thin with water, a tablespoon at a time. Avgolemono Sauce (use this sauce over noodles with chicken) 1 cup stock (or 1 cup water with 1 tsp soup base � vegetable or chicken) 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 1/4 cup lemon juice (approx. one very large lemon) 2 eggs 2 tbsp water 1/8 tsp cayenne 1/2 tsp black pepper salt to taste, unless using soup base that contains salt) Heat the stock, or heat the water and dissolve the soup base. Make a roux with the butter and flour and add the stock. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and add the lemon juice and water. Slowly add this mixture to the thickened stock, stirring constantly, and heat to desired temperature. Add pepper and salt, as needed. I've made all of the recipes many times.

It was really good. I don't have a broiler to speak of, I have one of those things under my oven what means you have to lie on your stomach on the floor to put anything under the "broiler". So, I browned the chicken in the oven, dumped the sauce over top and baked it until the chicken was done and the sauce reduced a bit. It turned out wonderfully. Teresa, I just made limoncello from some of those Meyer lemons too, I used Doucanoe's recipe and it was/is really good. OK, one of my new favorites Photobucket Shaker Lemon Pie From the episode: Two Perfect Pies You will need 6 tablespoons of lemon juice for this recipe. Have an extra lemon on hand in case the 3 sliced lemons do not yield enough juice. Serves 8. Ingredients 1 double-crust pie dough 3 large lemons , sliced thin and seeded (see note) 1 3/4 cups sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 large eggs 1 tablespoon heavy cream Instructions 1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 dough round and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 2. Squeeze lemon slices in fine-mesh strainer set over bowl; reserve juice (you should have 6 tablespoons). Bring drained slices and 2 cups water to boil in saucepan, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slices are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain well and discard liquid. Combine softened lemon slices, sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup reserved lemon juice in bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. 3. Whisk cornstarch and remaining lemon juice in large bowl. Whisk eggs into cornstarch mixture, then slowly stir in lemon slice mixture, then slowly stir in lemon slice mixture until combined. Pour into chilled pie shell. Brush edges of dough with 1 teaspoon cream and top with remaining dough round. Seal, crimp edges, and brush top of dough with remaining cream. Using paring knife, cut 4 vents in top of dough. 4. Bake until light golden, about 20 minutes, then decrease oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue to bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack for at least 1 hour. Serve. (Pie can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for 2 days.) We found that using a knife to evenly cut the lemons into paper-thin slices was a difficult and time-consuming task. We had better results with a mandoline (or V-slicer), which produced perfectly thin slices in no time at all. If you don’t have a mandoline, we did find another piece of kitchen equipment that will make the process easier��"the freezer. Popping the lemons into the freezer for about 30 minutes firms them up for better hand-slicing, which is best accomplished with a serrated knife. This was one of the few Cook's Illustrated recipes that I've tried that I like and will use again, it was delicious, tart and bitter from the rind.

Let stand until foamy, 5-10 min. Stir the warm milk, orange juice, sugar, ricotta cheese, orange zest, salt and egg into the yeast mixture. Using heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and set on low speed, beat 2 cups flour into the yeast mixture until a wet dough forms. Beat in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a stiff dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Place the dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Grease a 10 inch springform pan. Punch down the dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 20 inch long rope. Braid the ropes together. Coil braided dough in prepared pan; tuck ends under. Cover loosely with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 deg.F. Brush the dough with glaze. Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool slightly. To prepare icing, in a small bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth. Spread icing over warm cake and serve warm. Makes approx. 12 servings.
