good food...?

Question

I am having some friends over for project runway and I was wondering if anyone had any food recipies for tonight, not dinner just snacks.
thanks

Answer 1

Here's one I just saw Paula Dean do...I've been dying to try it!

Sausage Balls:
1 pound ground sausage
3 cups baking mix (Bisquick or your choice)
4 cups grated sharp cheddar
1/8 tablespoon pepper

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl. Mix well with your fingers. The mixture will be very crumbly.. Form into one-inch balls, squeezing the mixture so it holds together, and rolling it between the palms of your hands.

Place the balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Paula recommended dipping these in a sauce made from 1 cup mayo and 1 tablespoon mustard.

Answer 2

I'm making chicken cigars. Saw it on a show
Ground chicken
any spices you want to put in it.
fillo dough.

Mix the chicken with the spices and put it along the fillo dough edge. Make the chicken into a log and roll it in the fillo dough. Spread a tiny bit of melted butter on the top of it and pop it into the oven (425 degrees) for 12-18 minutes or until cooked.
Cut it into pieces and enjoy. It rocks with almost any sauce.
Personally I make my with taco seasonings and serve it with salsa dip.

Answer 5

Here are a couple recipes:


Spicy Nachos

Here's what you will need to make it:

* tortilla chips

* grated cheddar cheese

* refried beans

* salsa

* jalapeño pepper slices

* microwave-safe bowl

* butter knife

* microwave-safe plate

* can opener

* oven mitts


Here's what you have to do:

1. You should wash your hands before you start this.

2. To begin, put the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl and warm in the microwave for about 45 seconds.

3. Spread tortilla chips on a microwave-safe plate.

4. Spread the refried beans on the tortilla chips.

5. Spread some salsa on top of the chips.

6. Next, sprinkle shredded cheese over the salsa and refried beans.

7. If you like spicy food, you can add some small slices of jalapeño pepper for garnish.

8. Then, microwave everything for about 1 minute, until the cheese melts.

9. Using oven mitts, remove the plate from microwave. Be careful because the plate might be hot.

10. Serve your tasty nachos with extra salsa.

11. Dig in!



Homemade Salad Dressing and Veggie Parfaits

Here's what you will need to make it:

* 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

* 2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil

* 3 tablespoons red vinegar

* 1 teaspoon honey

* 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh basil

* 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

* dash of salt and pepper

* chopped celery

* chopped carrots

* chopped cucumber

* cherry tomatoes

* mixing bowl

* fork

* clear plastic cup


Here's what you have to do:

1. Parfaits are layered desserts. Salad parfaits are tasty, colorful snacks you can eat anytime.

2. Be sure to wash your hands and check with a grown-up before you begin.

3. Pour 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 1/2 tablespoons of canola oil into a mixing bowl.

4. Slowly dribble 3 tablespoons of red vinegar into the oil and mix with a fork.

5. Add 1 teaspoon of honey.

6. Add 1/4 teaspoon of chopped, fresh basil and 1/4 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme. You can use dried basil and thyme, but add a bit more because dried herbs don't have as strong a flavor as fresh herbs.

7. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Use your homemade dressing to dress a yummy veggie parfait, or a regular salad.

8. To make a veggie parfait, peel and wash some vegetables like celery, carrots, cucumber, and tomato. Then chop them into small pieces. Be sure to check with a grown-up before you do this.

9. Put a layer of each vegetable into a clear cup.

10. Pour some of your homemade dressing over the vegetables to add some punch to the crunch.



Salsa

Here's what you will need to make it:

* two 14-ounce cans of diced, spicy tomatoes

* 2 ounces diced green chilies

* 2 cloves of garlic, diced

* 3/4 cup chopped cilantro -- it's an herb that looks like parsley

* 1 medium onion, chopped

* pinch of salt

* tortilla chips

* bowl

* sharp knife


Here's what you have to do:

1. Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir around, adding the green chilies to taste. (This is what makes it spicy!)

2. Now take a chip and dig in!



Simple Fruit Kabobs

Here's what you will need to make it:

* various fruit (bananas, apples, strawberries, melon, pineapple)

* bamboo skewers

* spoon

* knife for slicing fruit

* bowls


Here's what you have to do:

1. Slice the fruit into large chunks and put in separate bowls.

2. Put chunks of the different fruits on a skewer.

3. Try dipping the skewers in yogurt if you like.

4. Dig in!



Lettuce Boats

Here's what you will need to make it:

* large romaine lettuce leaves

* your favorite salad veggies like chopped carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red peppers

* croutons

* your favorite salad dressing


Here's what you have to do:

1. First you need to wash and dry your lettuce really well.

2. Take your lettuce leaf and drizzle some of your favorite salad dressing down the middle. Thicker dressing, like ranch, works better because it won't run down your arm when you're eating your lettuce boat.

3. Now sprinkle on some of your favorite chopped veggies like carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, red peppers-whatever you like!

4. Add a few croutons.

5. Fold one side of lettuce over the add-ins and then fold the other side over like a salad burrito.

6. Now your lettuce boat is ready to eat. You'll need to eat it right away so the croutons don't get soggy. It can be a little messy so might want to eat it over a plate.



Hope this helps!!! Have an awesome day!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Sirniki (Russian Cheese Pancakes)
These Russian Fried Cheese Pancakes (Patties), prounounced SEER-ni-kee, are delicious served hot out of the pan – the outsides still crispy, the insides creamy… They are very easy, and the dough can be made ahead. Sirniki are usually served as a brunch or breakfast dish, or as a dessert, with sour cream or jam. Some like both!
1 lb farmer cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour, plus
extra flour, for dipping
2 tablespoons butter, approx
sour cream or jam, for serving
3-4 servings

1. In a food processor, pulse the farmer’s cheese until it is uniformly crumpled. Add the eggs, sugar, salt, and ½ cup of flour. Pulse or mix to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour, or even overnight. The dough will remain thick but sticky.
2. Put approximately 1/3 cup of flour into a bowl, and use this to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Using 2 teaspoons, drop 1½” balls of dough into the flour, roll them round, and flatten to about 3/8” thick. Place them on a plate in a single layer until all the patties are all formed.
3. Heat a frying pan with 1 T. butter, and fry the patties on each side until golden. You will need to add more butter as you go.
4. Serve hot with sour cream and/or jam. This recipe will make approximately 20 small patties.
5. NOTE: Farmer Cheese is usually found near the cream cheese; my store sells Friendship brand. These days, the packages are just under 1/2 pound (don't you hate this incremental downsizing?), and 2 packages will work fine.
6. About the Times, Prep time is mostly frying time, and Passive time is the chilling time.

1 onion (medium)
4 large eggs (hard boiled)
1 lb (or 500g) ground beef

Other spices

Crust:
-If you live in countries where a ready pie crust is sold in supermarkets, get 2 9-inch round crusts (any brand will work);
-If you have to make the crust yourself, here are the ingredients for the dough:
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of sugar (regular or powedered)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of solid vegetable shorteninng OR 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening and 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter OR 1 cup of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of ice cold water
*Note: If some of the units or abbreviations look unfamiliar to you, click here.

• Method
Filling:
Finely cut the cabbage and onion; heat up a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil; when it is hot add chopped onion; satee the onion until golden brown; then add cabbage and cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until golden in color and soft in consistency. Simulatenously, in a separate skillet satee the ground beef; cook it for 5-10 minutes or until the meat is of consistent brown color and there is no redness. Boil the eggs. When everything is ready, mix the cabbage, meat, and chopped eggs together; add salt and/or other spices. Your filling is ready!

Crust:
If you are making your own dough:
In a large bowl thoroughly mix together flour, salt, and sugar. Then add shortening (broken in large chunks) or butter (cut into small pieces). Begin chopping the fat/butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives. When you are done, the mixture should be of coarse consistency; dry and powdery. Then drizzle over the mixture 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon of ice cold water. Begin mixing the dough with a spatula until the mixture looks evenly moistened and begins to form small balls. Press down on the dough with the flat side spatula. If the balls of dough stick together, you have added enough water; if the do not, drizzle the dough with 1 to 2 tablespoons of ice cold water. Continue to mix the dough first with the spatula, then with your hands until it coheres. The dough should look rough, not smooth. Divide the dough in half; press each half into a round flat disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling. The dough can be frozen for up to 6 month in an airtight packaging (Thaw completely before rolling).

When your dough is ready to roll, roll out 2 9-inch (~22cm) rounds. Place one crust on the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan; press the dough over the bottom and into the corners of the pan. Transfer the filling into the pan; smoothen the top. Place the second crust on top and seal the sides. The dough should not hang over the sides of the pan too much, otherwise it will char; you can either cut the excess dough with a knife, or fold it inside the pan. Before baking, cut 4 ventilation holes on the top crust of your pie. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 350F (175C) for 20-30 minutes or untill golden. When done, let the pie sit out for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm. Great with milk. Enjoy!!!
