I have a project in foods class -- I need to hand in 50 family recipes. I think that's incredibly unreasonable, considering my family doesn't have any special recipes. So I thought you guys could help me out. If you have any good recipes, please post them here! :) They can be any kind of food, but I need meals, appetizers, and deserts.
Thanks in advance!
Maybe you can find something HERE.
Thanks! :) Those look like good recipes. I'll look through that.
Here's my Uncle "Beav's" recipe for Rhubarb Custard Cake. (His real name is Theadore but he's always been called "the Beav".
Rhubarb Custard Cake
1 yellow cake mix
4 cups of chopped rhubarb
1 cup of white sugar
1 pint of whipping cream
Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Pour in a greased 9" X 13" cake pan.
Cover with the rhubarb and sprinkle with the sugar.
Pour the whipping cream over the entire cake pan.
Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Cream and rhubarb sink to the bottom and form a luscious custard layer. This stuff is yummy.
The "Beav"
I could e-mail a heap if you like, PM me and I'll send a lot your way.
The file would be quite large, I have loads.:D
I'll have to put my mom's 24hour salad here. I'm at work so in the next few days, I'll try and find it. It is so good. It's got marshmallows and pineapples in it.
I'll take some! :DQuote:

Risotto ai Funghi
Chicken broth (can be made with
bouillon cubes)
Rice
parsley, chopped
Fresh mushrooms (I use dried porcini
mushrooms too)
Parmesan cheese
If using dried mushrooms, you only need a few ounces, but make sure
you soak them in warm water and rinse well, saving the water you
soaked them in and putting it through a cheesecloth to rid it of sand
and dirt. In a casserole, saute the mushrooms in the butter and
chopped parsley for few minutes. Add desired amount of rice and stir.
At this time you will add the water you soaked the mushrooms in.
To the rice you will alternate adding ladles of the gently boiling broth,
stirring until it is absorbed, more broth, stir, etc. until rice is cooked
to your liking. This is a delicate dish that needs your attention
(so rice won't burn) and needs to be served immediately with Parmesan
on the side for those who want it.

I promised those at the Dog Park gathering I'd post this, so here it is for you AND them! I always make them for that gathring as they're "doggie safe" as well as people yummy!
Here it is - I usually make a double batch to have plenty to share, but this is the single batch recipe - how many it makes depends on what kind of cookie cutter you use! (I always use my bunny-shaped one in honor of Miss Hoppy)
Brown Sugar Bunnies:
Sift together:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon of salt
Set that aside.
Cream together (you can mix this all together by hand if you don't have a mixer):
2 sticks (1 cup) of butter, softened a bit works easiest
1/2 cup plus 1/8 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar (3 tablespoons = 1/8 cup)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom (or ginger, or clove - whatever you like!)
until well-mixed and "fluffy"
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, if you're using a mixer, set it at low speed.
If you want, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Now, if you just want to make round cookies, you can form the dough into a "log" and refrigerate for two hours or so (or overnight, or whatever), then slice 1/3" inch thick ... or ...
Put the dough in a plastic bag, or between sheets of waxed paper and roll out 1/3" inch thick, refrigerate for two hours or so.
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F
Use ungreased cookie sheets (lined with foil or baking parchment if you want)
To make them "sparkly":
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar or raw sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, when mixed dump it onto a plate.
Use cookie cutters or a knife to shape the cookies from the cold dough.
Using a spatula if they have delicate bits like tails, transfer the cookie shape over to the sugar mix, and press it down.
Then put it, sugar-side up on the cookie sheets. (Now is when you can draw on smiles and eyes, if you want!) You can put the cookies pretty close together, they don't spread much.
Bake for 40 minutes. Leave the cookies on the sheet to cool, or transfer to racks using a spatula - they're fairly breakable at this point.
Mmm...I'm gonna have to start a recipe book. ;)
