We were talking about recipes in the chat room and thought a recipe thread would be good. I’ll start off by posting my recipe for Sweet Potato Balls.
Sweet Potato Balls
3 pounds Sweet potatoes cooked or 2-17 ounce cans drained
2 tablespoons Butter
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Egg
Miniature marshmallows
½ cup Ginger snap crumbsMash sweet potatoes while they are hot, then add sugar, butter, salt and spices. Add egg and continue to whip until thoroughly combined. Chill until firm. Form into golf ball sized balls and place 2-3 marshmallows in center of each ball. Roll in ginger snap crumbs. Place on non-stick or lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
Yield: 6 servings
I don’t think my original recipe had the egg, but the egg will probably help it stay together better as it’s baking. You can also roll in graham crackers, cornflakes or coconut instead of ginger snaps if you don’t care for them or just want a different flavor.

ROASTED RED PEPPER & OLIVE TAPENADE
Very easy and very good. Just don’t over process or the results will be mushy.
Calamata or California olives (pitted) to taste- I do not recommend black olives as a substitute!!
Green olives (pitted) to taste
1 jar roasted red peppers
1 package goat cheese
1 loaf of french or italian bread
olive oil
Dice olives and red peppers and toss together in oil. You can use a food processor but be careful not to overprocesss or the results will be watery and mushy. Serve with toasted baguette, and side of goat cheese as a very colorful and tasty build-it- yourself appetizer. Great colors for Christmas!

As I’m not a cooker (if that’s a word?) I don’t have any recipes….. But I can tell at least one delicious thing I know:
HONEY KETCHUP:
tis is similar to honey mustard. Except without the satanic ingredient of mustard. Basically if you go to a fast food restaurant that gives both ketchup and honey packets, get both, squeeze me together and voila. A delicious condiment for fries, chicken, etc. 😛

This is one of my most favorite dishes to serve (well, to anyone who likes spinach and artichoke!).
I haven’t made it in ages, but I think I just might need to pull this one out again soon…Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna from Taste of Home Magazine:
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing MAKES: 12 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) vegetable or chicken broth
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 jar (16 ounces) roasted garlic Parmesan or roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
ASSEMBLY:
12 no-cook lasagna noodles
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup crumbled tomato and basil feta cheese or feta cheese
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon each dried oregano, parsley flakes and basilI’ve never used the nutmeg, and even omitted the rosemary sometimes. It doesn’t make that much of a difference. The feta on the top of this really makes it though. It gets all golden and yummy. I just use plain feta.

On the healthier side, my mom used to make this all the time. It’s from Taste of Home as well. It’s a pineapple salsa for grilled tilapia, but I am sure it will go with just about any grilled fish. I’ve used it on mahi before. It’s SO simple but it’s so scrumptious!
Ingredients
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple (or canned rings/canned crushed)
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
Dash cayenne pepperwill top 8 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
And you basically just mix all the salsa ingredients together and chill before serving.
I never use the cayenne… and I always add a little bit of pineapple juice to the finished salsa.

Ingredients1 (8 oz.) package softened cream cheese (I used reduced fat)1/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 tubes of crescent roll dough
shredded mozzarella (optional, though in my opinion completely necessary)
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray mini muffin tins with baking spray.
Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well, set aside.
Roll your crescent roll dough out onto a work surface. Working with half of the dough at time (4 triangles), pinch all of the creases together so that you’re left with one big pie. Using a pizza slicer or a knife, cut the dough into 12 roughly even squares of dough.
Press each of the dough squares into a mini muffin tin and fill each cup with the spinach artichoke mixture. Heavily sprinkle each one with shredded mozzarella. Because cheese makes everything better. Then pop those babies in the oven for 12 minutes and wipe the drool from your mouth as you wait.

KILLER Spinach Dip
Ingredients:- 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temp
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, split into 2 1/2 cup portions (I prefer to grate it myself)
- 1 (8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
Directions:
Defrost the spinach.
Place it in a colander and press it until as much moisture as possible is removed.
Mix all ingredients (1/2 of the cheddar), and blend well.
Put it in a shallow baking dish (stoneware works best) in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F.
Remove from oven.
While still hot top it with remaining cheese, heat in oven again for 5 minutes.
Remove and cool below lava stage and serve.
Goes well with tortilla chips.***Always in search of a good flock***
I made Chocolate Dump Cake tonight. If you love chocolate you must make this.
Chocolate Dump Cake
- 1 chocolate boxed cake mix
- 1 small package chocolate pudding
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat over to 350 degrees.
Prepare the pudding with the milk according to package directions. Add the cake mix (just the dry mix–don’t add anything else) and stir well to combine. Batter will be thick.
Smooth batter into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Scatter chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until edges pull away from sides.
I used 2 cups of milk like the box of pudding said and it was the cook-and-serve, not the instant. I also used about half the chocolate chips called for. Turned out very chocolaty and fantastic. Great served with vanilla ice cream.
