How about Feta Cheese, I get it in greek salads and spanakopita:tonguesmiley: yum


FETA (disambiguation) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FETA_%28disambiguation%29)
In Greek cuisine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_cuisine), Feta (Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language): φέτα) is a curd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curd) cheese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese) in brine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine). It is traditionally made from goat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_goat)'s and/or sheep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_sheep)'s milk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feta_cheese

Here's a lower fat/suger baking tip that's tasty. I made oatmeal cookies, and wanted to cut the suger, I found Splenda made brown suger. News flash to me. Gave it the right taste. Also used 1/2 the amount of oil and substitute applesauce for the other half. Of course I add choc chips to mine, but people still loved em, some couldn't tell the difference. You still get great taste, & people who need suger free (you'd have to skip choc chips or use suger free chocolate) can still enjoy.

[Julia73]

not sure what to call them just something that my mom passed down to me that she probably got from a campbell's label lol but they are kinda smothered burritos they are a huge hit in my house and everyone that I make them for as well.

2lbs ground beef (or one depending on how many you want to make you can cut the recipe in half)
2 packages of lawry's burrito seasoning
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 can diced green chilli's (hot or mild dependent on taste)
1 package of shredded cheddar or mexican blend cheese
1 package of tortillas

Brown ground beef into crumbles. Drain grease and add burrito seasonings. While you are waiting on the seasoning to cook into the ground beef open both cans of cream of mushroom soup and add 1 can of water and 1 can of milk. Stir in green chilli's to taste ( I use the whole can) When the ground beef is ready warm tortillas (to keep them from breaking) and wrap the meat inside the tortillas. Place them in a deep oven safe baking dish and pour the soup with the green chilli's over the burritos evenly. Cover with cheese and bake for 30 minutes at 350 or until the cheese is bubbling.

I like to serve them with the option to place lettuce, sour cream and picante sauce on top. This recipe serves my whole family and makes about 10 - 12 burritos.

Grilled Flank Steak and Balsamic Vegetables



1 pound flank steak
Kosher salt and pepper
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
2 bell peppers (any color), quartered
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Heat grill to medium-high heat. Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Grill to the desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, brush both sides of the eggplant and peppers with 3 tablespoons of the oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill until tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining oil, vinegar, garlic, and parsley. Divide the steak and vegetables among individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the vegetables or serve on the side.

Tip: To serve this meal to a crowd, double the recipe and make it several hours in advance. Refrigerate, then serve at room temperature. You can use leftovers in sandwiches.

Yield: Makes 4 servings

wow These recipes all sound great. Gotta' get ink for my printer to print out, I'm not running back & forth from computer room to kitchen :D

[lovingpaws]

OK now I'm looking for a recipe. Anyone out there Help!

Made it a few times, lost recipe, forgot about it & was looking recently.

Baked cauliflower cassarole.
It's made by mixing a bit of curry & mayo, and chedder cheese. All coating the flowers and had croutons too. Sounds weird, if I would have know what it was, I wouldn't have tried it (at a church potlock) thought it was just a chedder sauce. It's so yummy. Just can't remember the measurements. :cheff:

No, but it's close. Mine had no soup or parmesan and and croutons instead of crackers, maybe the person who made it modified it themselves from this recipe. I'll play with it. Must go to store tomorrow.:D

[The Muttlies]

I don't usually use recipes (I constantly just wing it.) However, I'll try and come up with some recipes when I get home. Maybe my mom will let me share my Grandma's delicious sugar cookie recipe. We get requests every year to make them. ;)

[Doberman's]

Made a good one last night...

Hamburger Pie

1lb hamburger
1 medium onion chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped
1 can corn ( drained )
1 can crushed tomatoes
2 Garlic cloves crushed
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
salt to taste
6 slices of bread ( I used white )

Brown hamburger breaking up with fork, add onions and green pepper and cook with hamburger ( drain fat off cooked hamburger if need be ). Add garlic, corn , and chili powder, tomatoes and salt. Cook for 5-10 minutes to reduce the liquid.

Take a lasangna pan and add mixture to pan, butter the tops of the bread and place over the mixture butter side up, place in a 350 degree oven and cook for 30-35 minutes OR until bread has toasted.

You could use a mashed potato topping or a biscuit topping. You can also add Jalapenos for heat or spice it up with cayenne pepper. This is a recipe you can fool with easily to make it more to your liking.

[iwantmypup]

I am so excited to try these!! Wooo!!:D
I will be adding some soon!

Mark & my grandmother are big meatloaf lovers. So, I went on a hunt to find a good recipe that I'd like too. After many other attempts that I found to be just another boring meatloaf, I found this one & everybody loves it (including me).

Good Eats Meatloaf (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_10215,00.html)

(I double the amount of cayenne — shhh, don't tell granny — and also double the glaze & save some for "on the side").

With this recipe, I even love meatloaf.
