Get the latest recipes from Conner909 http://www.grouprecipes.com/people/conner909 This delicious salsa/salad recipe is courtesy of Southern Living Magazine. I serve it as a salsa with tortilla chips and it goes like crazy! You can make as much as you want, which is my way of saying I do not know the number of servings....ha! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104054/black-bean-and-corn-salsa-salad.html My girlfriend Connie shared this recipe with me when she served it at one of her Asian-inspired dinners. It's from the Hawaii Cookbook. In reading the ingredients, it looks rather blah, but trust me, these are delicious! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104053/sesame-seed-wafers.html I made this for a ladies' dinner last year and it was really a hit. The hard cider sauce is to die for! This is Emeril Lagasse's recipe and I did give him credit! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104052/apple-bread-pudding-with-hard-cider-sauce.html This recipe is a bit labor-intensive but it isn't hard to make and it's worth all the effort you put forth. Good to have on a cold winter's day!(I'm trying to remember what that was like...lol!) Once cooked and cooled you can freeze it in zip-loc bags for quick suppers. Sorry, I don't have the number of servings but it's more than 12! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104050/micheles-homemade-vegetable-beef-soup.html I think this was the first recipe Melissa d'Arabian made on her debut show on Food Network. It is simple, quick, but very good. Try it! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104048/rustic-lemon-onion-chicken.html This recipe, with a small revision, is courtesy of Alton Brown. I think the bread flour makes the cookie much more 'substantial" than the run-of -the- mill choc. chip cookie! I love the toasted walnuts in it, but toasted pecans would also be good a good choice. Watch the cookie carefully as it bakes and try not to overbake it. It's a great cookie, guys! http://www.grouprecipes.com/89815/the-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie.html This refreshingly classic drink recipe is courtesy of Ina Garten (one of my faves) and the Food Network. It's easy and so relaxing to have after a hard day's work....or not! http://www.grouprecipes.com/89754/fresh-whiskey-sours.html This rich, hearty soup is just perfect for a cold winter's night! Another Ina Garten special recipe from her Back to Basics cookbook. It's reall full of flavor, so try it! Suggestion: read the entire recipe before starting... if I had, I wouldn't have lined my baking sheet with foil. Also, Ina grinds the Parmesan cheese for the soup, but grates it for the garnish. Hopefully I can upload a couple of pix! I didn't make the crispy shallots garnish, but will do so the next time. http://www.grouprecipes.com/89217/roasted-potato-leek-soup.html I found this recipe in the April 2009 Bon Appetit magazine buried on page 55. It really caught my eye and nothing would do but I had to make it NOW! It is so light and refreshing ...so try it, you'll love it! http://www.grouprecipes.com/89192/lime-shortbread-cookies-with-white-chocolate-and-almonds.html Everyone needs a basic guacamole dip recipe , don't they? This one is delicious and makes about 2 1/2 cups. You can adjust the heat by tasting the serrano peppers, if your in doubt. Also, use fresh lime juice! http://www.grouprecipes.com/87315/good-guacamole.html
