Cooking & Recipes - November 2006

I just bought a Cucumber and I cut it up in Circle Slices so I can put them on my sandwhich, but I have a question.

1)Even though I just cut them up, how can I prevent them from turning brown?

2)How do you make a Baked Potatoe? I have severval large potatoes but I'm only fixing one. I wanted to rub Olive Oil on the Potatoe and wrap it in foil paper then place it in the oven. Can I do that?

I'm making a cookbook for a project in my food & nutrition class. I choose the theme for my cookbook desserts, but the cookbook is supposed to be divided into sections like: Appetizers, Salads & Veggies, Bread, Main Dish, Dessert, and so on.

But my cookbook is all about desserts, so how could I do it? Like what type of dessert food could be like an appetizer? I thought maybe cookies or brownies, and as like a main dish I thought cakes. I wouldn’t actually say "main dish", but just make the title cakes or whatever it is. And ideas?

I have lots of delicious recipes for Apple Crisp, pie, etc, but I found this one and thought it was different. But I cut it out without realizing I didn't cut out all of it. I don't remember where I got it, and I've searched the net, with no luck. I think it came from some magazine (it's not bhg) because it has Runner-Up across the picture. Hope ya'll can help me.
All I have are the ingredients: 1 lrg tart apple, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, Then for the Topping flour, sugar, butter, pecans, apricot jam. Also, have prep: 15 min Bake: 35 min.

I'm going to visit my grandma, mom, and little brother over christmas weekend and since my family aren't big cooks I thought it would be fun just to make snack foods. Any suggestions on what I could make? I've thought of Rotel, Sugar Christmas Cookies, and Little Smokies. I would love some more suggestions!! Thanks!!

I have never made any of these recipes before, but they sound and look delicious. I saw them in a family circle magazine and I would like to make one of them for Thanksgiving. Which do you think would be best?

Option 1: Harvest pie....it has Granny Smith apples, pears, dried cherries, almonds, sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg in it. It is a classic double pie crust.

Option 2: Cherry almond tart......it is in the shape of a rectangular cake. It has cinnamon, sugar, sliced almonds, and cherry preserves. It sounds pretty simple, but looks good and "fancy".

Option 3: Walnut spice cake.....the cake part has ground cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and brown sugar....and the frosting has maple extract, rum extract, and toasted walnuts (to be pressed on the sides).

Option 4: Pineapple crumb buns......this looks and sounds good except for the pineapple part, I don't really like them in cakes and things. What could I substitute? Since I asked what I could substitute for pineapple I'll be more precise in telling you the ingredients:

Dough:
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup pineapple spread able fruit

Topping:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar



So, what do you think? Not exactly the healthiest recipes but it is Thanksgiving after all. Thanks for the help!
