Post all of your best recipes here. Here's the one for my moms apple pie.

You will need the following:
Mac apples
Pilsbury prerolled pie crust.

Put one roll of pie crust in the bottom of your pie pan.
Peel and slice up enough apples to make a heeping mound.
You can mix in a couple of golden delicious apples if you want to but you don't have to.
In a bowl pour in:
3/4 cup of Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Flour
1/8 teaspoon of Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of Cinnamon

Pour this mixture into a sifter and sift the apples in the crust.

Put 1 tablespoon of butter on top of all of this directly in the middle.
When putting top crust on make sure to seal it totally by pinching the ends.
Wet all of crust with a little bit of milk and sprinkle sugar on top.
Put three little slits in top crust to let steam out.
Bake at 375 for first 10 minutes and then 350 for 50 minutes.

4. Favourite holiday food: My sister makes the best scalloped corn. It's beyond devine.

Bobbi put this recipe in please.

I'll get it from her tomorrow. I didn't even like scalloped corn until she made it.

All these recipes are just sounding so yummy. I may have to shock the world and try some of them.

Corn Casserole (actual name of recipe)

2 eggs, beaten
1 (15 oz.) can cream style corn
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (15.25 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained (funny, I don't remember tasting them)
1 (8.5 oz) package dry corn muffin mix

directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, cream style corn, sour cream and melted butter. Stir in whole kernel corn, cheese, onion and chilies. Stir in the corn muffin mix until just moistened. Pour into the casserole dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 75 minutes; or until an inserted knife comes and clean and the top is golden. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

[edit]Just found out why I didn't taste the chilies. My sister doesn't add them.

Can this be made without using the creamed corn? Maybe using an extra can of whole kernel corn and adding whole cream?

Basil Tomato Soup
1 large red onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 cups whole Roma tomatoes, diced
5 cups chicken stock
1 cup picked basil leaves
Salt and black pepper. to taste
In a large saucepan and a little oil, caramelize the onions, ginger and sugar. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add the stock and simmer on low heat until very soft, at least 20 minutes. Add the basil and puree. Check for seasoning.


Because of the expense instead of roma tomatoes I use a couple of cans of whole tomatoes and just pour off the extra juice.I also use a couple cloves of garlic added with the onions.

I'm not sure. Not my recipe.

Your tomato soup recipe sounds delicious.

I love the story behing that Neiman-Marcus recipe. Hillarious!

Yes, that story is classic.

Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care. Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care. Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care.

I got this recipe from a show my Mom watched just recently It's by Judith Chote and it's from her new book called "Homemade" It's a creamy fudge too

My never-ever-fail chocolate fudge

Ingredients

-12 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

-2 cups toasted walnut, pecan, macadamia, or other nuts, chopped

-10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

-1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

-20 large marshmallows

-4 cups sugar

-2 five-ounce cans evaporated milk

1. Combine the chocolate pieces, nuts, butter and vanilla in a large heat-proof bowl. Set aside.

2. Place the marshmallows, sugar and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Continuing to stir, boil for exactly six minutes.

3. Remove from the heat and immediately pour the marshmallow mixture into the chocolate mixture; beat constantly until creamy. Quickly pour into the pre-pared pan or platter, pushing slightly with the back of a wooden spoon to spread fudge evenly.

4. Cool for at least one hour before cutting into pieces. Serve at room temperature.

TGI Friday's Jack Danials Sauce

This is the actual recipe for that most excellent JD sauce that you get at the TGI Friday's resteraunts. I tried it last night and it is SOOO very excellent!

1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce
2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup Jack Daniel's
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup water
4 beef bouillon cubes
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool and use as a sauce on any grilled meat or
fish -- especially salmon!

Word of advice though: Leave out the tabasco sauce. It makes it pretty spicy. Try it without it and if you think you need it then put it in. I will do without it next time.
