Recipes and thoughtful advice from a seasoned cook and baker who loves teaching others how vegetarian food can be deliciously satisfying.http://www.susanina.com These wonderful cookies have both an outer crisp and inner chewiness. What could be better? This is a BIG recipe and, depending on how much dough is used for each cookie, makes between 35 to 45 or so cookies. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1121 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1121 2013-03-29T16:27:25-00:00 These robust rolls make a perfect accompaniment to salads. We particularly enjoy these rolls with Chef's Salad. And, they're scrumptious without any accompaniment at all. It must be mentioned that I am indebted, once again, to my husband's Aunt Sally, of "Aunt Sally's Brownies", for this wondrous recipe. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1120 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1120 2012-04-24T00:10:00-00:00 What a wonderfully fresh taste this preparation offers! Simple ingredients for a simply delicious appetizer, or a wonderful sandwich option. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1119 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1119 2011-02-07T19:50:40-00:00 This recipe is somewhat of an Asian/Italian fusion, two exquisite cuisines combined with delicious results. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1118 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1118 2011-01-04T02:06:08-00:00 These rolls have a slight sweetness with a hint of spice. Total preparation time of about three hours (perhaps even a little more) takes into account the yeast's needed development, distributing air throughout the dough and contributing to its good texture. However a lot of this time can be used tending to other "callings." For the pumpkin, we most often use what's left from our Halloween jack-o-lantern. We try to find as large a sugar pumpkin as we can, and then, post-Halloween, cook (either roast or steam) the pumpkin flesh for use in a number of other dishes, such as Baked Pasta with Roasted Pumpkin. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1117 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1117 2010-11-20T15:23:59-00:00 This would make a wonderful Thanksgiving entree for those with a preference for vegan preparations and for anyone else as well. This risotto requires no cheese, although it certainly is an optional addition. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1116 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1116 2010-11-15T17:13:21-00:00 This gingerbread has a more bready consistency than most. It may have something to do with one of its ingredients, cooked potato. The recipe came about yesterday, trying to find just the right proportion of ingredients that would result in a gingerbread as tasty as my mother once made, and which had included potato. I remember feeling disappointed that she had not kept the recipe. No need for disappointment; the following is just as delicious as I remember. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1115 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1115 2010-07-26T15:53:58-00:00 This intensely flavored filling can be used in a variety of ways, with cakes, refrigerated desserts, or just as a sauce with fresh raspberries added. Notice, just three ingredients! http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1114 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1114 2010-07-14T19:41:48-00:00 This savory side dish is an excellent complement to grilled, roasted, or broiled portabella mushrooms. It could be used in a number of ways to enhance any number of dishes, even as a topping for crusty grilled bread. It's also another way to use the garden's bounty of zucchini and summer squash. The amounts listed here could be increased and less finely cut for a vegetable side dish. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1113 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1113 2010-07-14T18:01:52-00:00 This marinade works well with any grilling items. It's particularly wonderful with portabella mushrooms. Be prepared for delicious aromas and scrumptious taste. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1112 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1112 2010-07-14T15:46:57-00:00 These cookies came about one afternoon, wishing to make a simple cookie, quickly. Preparation does require a food processor. They're fun to make and yummy to eat. My niece, by marriage, was looking for this cookie recipe on the site, and I decided that I'd better make sure it's here! Susanina's Sandies go wonderfully with a cup of tea or dish of ice cream ... how about strawberries and cream, whipped or not... m-m-m-m. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1111 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1111 2010-04-01T20:35:30-00:00 We really enjoy these sandwiches. Even if you think you don't like sauerkraut, you might like to try them, as my husband did. We find these to be a wonderful cold-weather supper, accompanied by Apple Salad. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1110 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1110 2010-02-18T21:19:45-00:00 Boiling the egg is what takes the most time, and the taste is worth every moment waiting for it to cook. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1109 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1109 2010-02-18T20:46:30-00:00 My husband's dad introduced me to this new way of grilling cheese on bread. The ingredients are straightforward. The process takes a little practice. Even if they don't come out looking just right the first time (or second or third ...), they'll be delicious. The cheese toasts are a wonderful accompaniment to soup. They would also work well with a simple tossed salad and a side dish of some kind of fruit. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1108 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1108 2010-02-18T20:12:53-00:00 This is a wonderful dish if you're in a hurry, hungry, and want to have something that's a combination of tasty and light, and filling ... especially if you want something tasty! http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1107 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1107 2009-11-12T13:32:24-00:00 Try this recipe when your bananas are beyond ripe. Last night a "last ditch" effort to use our blackened bananas turned into a delicious dessert topping. I have also used this preparation method with peaches and strawberries successfully. I was very pleasantly surprised that the banana version is as tasty as can be. This topping would also be delicious with pancakes or waffles. The recipe ingredient amounts can be easily increased, as fits your need. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1106 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1106 2009-09-05T11:16:36-00:00 This is a staple side dish in our home. It's worlds away from the store-prepared kind, at least the ones I've tried, although I do remember trying one of those that I thought was quite good. I think it may be that freshness is very important. Sometimes cole slaw keeps well, and sometimes, it doesn't. I'm not quite sure what makes the difference. Anyway, you'll find it's quite easy to prepare and worth the not-so-great-effort required. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1105 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1105 2009-08-31T17:52:24-00:00 These are some wonderful sandwiches. They're good both simply grilled, or French-toasted. I've learned that it works best to choose either the mustard option or the bacon. Using both mustard and bacon together sort of cancels out the taste of each. An excellent accompaniment with these sandwiches is cole slaw, and for my husband, always some good potato chips. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1104 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1104 2009-08-31T16:09:50-00:00 These are a delicious version of a very popular brownie. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1103 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1103 2009-08-31T13:24:54-00:00 This is a simple all-purpose dough that we use for baguettes, and also pizza and calzone. The recipe also makes wonderful rolls that freeze well. The rolls come out of the freezer and go into a 375 degree oven on an ungreased pan for 15 minutes and are almost better than when first baked. Note the simple ingredient list. While the instructions are lengthy, the process is really quite speedy. I can mix this dough up within about five minutes. I specified fifteen minutes for prep time to allow for becoming familiar with a new recipe. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1102 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1102 2009-08-26T14:49:01-00:00
