I mentioned earlier that I made this and said I would post the recipe. They turned out pretty good. I should've taken a picture to post with this recipe. I saw them make these on Good Eats on the Foot Network. I get no credit. They are pretty easy to make. Here is the recipe copied exactly from their website.

Quote from Good Eats :
Baked Whole Apple Crisp
3/4 cup oats
3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch kosher salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced
4 Braeburn apples (Fuji will substitute)
4 teaspoons honey


In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients and diced butter. Rub mixture briskly between finger tips until it forms small moist clumps in a loose sandy mixture. Refrigerate while preparing the apples.

Cut a small layer off the bottom of each apple to create a flat, stable bottom surface. With a small paring knife, cut a cylindrical cone out of the top of the apple, moving about 1-inch outside of the core, similar to removing the top of a pumpkin when carving a Jack O'Lantern. Remove the top and discard. With a melon baller or a teaspoon, remove the remaining core and seeds taking care not to puncture the base of the apple.

Place apples on a baking sheet or pie dish and fill each center with a teaspoon of honey. Spoon in mixture, packing lightly until heaped and overflowing over sides of the apples.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees on the top or middle rack for 40 minutes or until filling is golden brown and the tip of a paring knife can be inserted into the side of the apple with little or no resistance. Let apples stand for 10 minutes before serving

** Found on the Food Network Website.

Jiffy Pop Firecracker Shrimp

1 pound medium-size shrimp, tails on, rinsed, patted dry, and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons hot pepper oil
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows

Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1 tablespoon of the pepper oil. Layer the shrimp in a concentric circle in the bottom of a cold 10 to 12-inch saute pan, leaving about a 1-inch space between the shrimp and the rim of the pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons pepper oil in this space around the inside of the pan. Sprinkle the popcorn kernels into the oil. Cut a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil about 14 inches long. Place the foil over the pan and press it down firmly over the shrimp, oil, and popcorn. Crimp the foil securely around the edges of the skillet. Place the pan over medium-high heat.
Cook until it begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove the shrimp and place in a large bowl. Recover the pan and continue to cook for about 2 1/2 minutes more. The corn should begin popping. Start shaking the pan at 30-second intervals. The popcorn will continue to pop for about another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Let sit for about 30 seconds and allow the corn to completely finish popping.

Very carefully remove the foil because of the steam. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and toss it with the remaining teaspoon salt and the Essence.

Serve immediately.


Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup

1 can of chipolte peppers in adobo sauce
6-8 oz of sun-dried tomatos or tomato sauce,etc,
1 red onion, finely chopped
fresh cilantro
fresh garlic (optional)
salt
fresh lime or lime juice (at least a teaspoon or two)
fresh orange or orange juice (at least a teaspoon)

rehydrate tomatos per instructions of package, place in blender and blend the hell out of them. Place in bowl
blend the chipolte peppers place in seperate container
Add the onions, garlic, to tomatos. Add a teaspoon of blended chipoltes to tomatos, stir and squeez in lime and orange to taste (can vary amount till you like the combination)

You will now have lots of chipolte chili left (it's HOT) but very yummy if you bbq some steak/pork/chicken/shrimp and baste with it, roll in tortilla YUMMY

Caponata Picnic Sandwiches
1/4 cup olive oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1(14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons raisins
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 loaf ciabatta bread, cut crosswise into 6 equal pieces
2 garlic cloves, peeled
6 slices (1/3-inch-thick) drained fresh water-packed mozzarella


Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the eggplant and saute until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Season with salt. Add the red pepper and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, raisins, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat until the flavors blend and the mixture thickens, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, and capers. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cut the bread pieces horizontally in half. Grill the bread cut side down on a grill pan over
medium high heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Rub the whole garlic cloves over the
toasted side of the bread. Add a slice of mozzarella to bread bottom, spoon the caponata on top, cover with the other bread half and serve.


another foodnetwork recipe. it was amazing. i tried it the real way yesterday, pan grilling the bread first so the heat of the bread melts the cheese. Today for lunch i'm having it cold, will see how it is. couple changes i made were instead of oregano i added about the equivalent in herbs de provance, no raisins (don't care for them) and cut down a lot on the oil used. only enough to cover the pan.

I take no credit for these cookies. This recipe is for those delicious DoubleTree Hotel cookies.

* makes about 20 cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup rolled oats
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
2 eggs
3 cups semi-sweet, chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts


Directions:

Grind oats in a food processor or blender until fine. Combine the ground oats with the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Cream together the butter, sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice in another medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add the eggs and mix until smooth. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture and blend well. Add the chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix by hand until ingredients are well blended.

For the best results, chill the dough overnight in the refrigerator before baking the cookies.

Spoon rounded 1/4 cup portions onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Place the scoops about 2 inches apart. Bake in a 350F oven for 16-18 minutes or until cookies are light brown and soft in the middle. Store in a sealed container when cool to keep soft.

LORD!
I have been looking for a good recipe for this FOREVER!
Looks like I may have found a winner.

(I'm on a very specific diet right now that doesn't include shrimp-even though this should be quite healthy- but when it ends on Sunday... Mmmm baby!)

1 c Shrimp, peeled & deveined
3 1/2 c Water
4 Kaffir lime leaves
2 Stalks lemongrass
-- cut into 1" pieces
-- and smashed. Use 2" from
-- base only. Discard leaves
1/2 c Straw mushrooms
-- (canned or fresh)
2 tb Lime juice
3 tb Fish sauce (Nam Pla)
1 ts Thai red curry paste
2 ts Sliced red & green chilies
-- (or to taste)
1 tb Chopped cilantro leaves

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over high heat. Stir in
the curry paste, lime leaves and lemongrass. Bring to a boil again
and add shrimps and mushrooms. Cook just until the shrimps are done
but not overcooked. Stir in fish sauce and remove from heat. Spoon
the soup into a serving bowl and add lime juice, stir to mix well.
Sprinkle chilies and cilantro leaves before serving. Serve hot with
cooked rice. Makes 2 servings.

I like to make rice and slowly scoop it in while eating... makes it last forever.

If anyone has more specific knowledge of this soup, then PM me and I'll be happy to edit! I'd love to get it perfect - instead of paying $7.00 a bowl downtown.

Chicken Florentine

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons shallots, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cut-leaf spinach, thawed, drained

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.


replaced cream with non fat milk, most of the butter with a little canola or olive oil. very nice.
