Pineapple shrimp

By Anonymous
Ernie and I joked that yesterday was a Pioneer Woman cooking day. I can't help it, I don't have much time to cook during the week (that should change when I'm home all the time) and a lot of PW's recipes have a lot of butter in them -- which makes me automatically think of "special occasions.
This shrimp isn't really a special occasion type food, it just took a bit to thread all the shrimp through the skewers. Ree's original recipe is here, but here's how I did it. We ate it with my new favorite way to eat potatoes -- smashed -- and corn on the cob. And Ernie was a happy man.

Peeled, Deveined Jumbo Shrimp
Teriyaki Sauce
Chopped Garlic
1 Tbsp. Sugar
Salt
Canned Pineapple Chunks, juice reserved
Lemon juice
Fresh ginger

Make a marinade by combining Teriyaki sauce with remaining ingredients and reserved pineapple juice. Feel free to add whatever ingredients sound good! Stir in peeled/deveined jumbo shrimp and marinate at least a couple of hours. Skewer pineapple chunks with the shrimp and grill until done.

    See, that sounds good and not insane. Her butter usage is usually so prohibitive that I never seriously think about making her recipes.

    And I clicked on a green bean recipe today that begins with melting bacon fat. I'm sure it's delicious, but bacon fat, really?

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

Moosewood macaroni and cheese

By gwen
From the Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites cookbook, which I suggest you check out in person because it is very awesome. I also threw some fresh spinach in here, just into the mixture before the breadcrumb step, and it turned out really well. 1 1/2 c 1% cottage cheese 1 1/2 c skim milk or buttermilk 1 t dried mustard or 1 T prepared mustard pinch of cayenne (or more) 1/4 t nutmeg 1/2 t salt 1/4 t ground black pepper 1/4 c grated onions 1 c grated sharp cheddar (4 oz.) 1/2 lb. uncooked elbow macaroni (or other tubular pasta) 2 T finely grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese 1/4 c bread crumbs Preheat oven to 375. Prepare square baking pan with a light spray of oil. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, milk, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. In a large bowl (actually, I did this right in the baking dish), combine pureed mixture with the onions, cheddar and uncooked macaroni. Stir well. Pour macaroni and cheese mixture into the baking pan. Combine the gra...
