Recipes from Previous Posters

I have some recipes from previous posters that I thought some of you who were not on the boards in the early days might enjoy. I will start with the CANNOLI CAKE submitted by Doxiedog and add a few more as I go through them later.

If anyone has any to add to this thread, it would be great.

And a special thanks to all of you who have been so generous in typing and sharing your recipes.

CANNOLI CAKE by Doxiedog

3 cups ricotta cheese

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

4 eggs

1 yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix

(plus ingredients to make the cake)

Mix cake as directed and pour into 9 x 13 pan.

Beat other 4 ingredients. Spoon over batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Dust cooled cake with powdered sugar.

HONEY ORANGE CHICKEN FOR THE CROCKPOT

((Elmerita Fudd)

8 frozen chicken thighs

1/2 cup honey

1 cup orange juice

2 cups chicken broth (homemade, carton or can) *

1/2 tsp salt

1 T dry mustard

1 tsp fresh ginger root, minced (1 to 2)

1 tsp fresh garlic, minced

2 tsp soy sauce

1 10-oz frozen broccoli florets, thawed (optional)

2 T cornstarch --

mixed with 1/4 cup water to form a cornstarch flurry

Cooked rice

2 T orange marmalade --

with the rind and/or add orange zest

*one can works well if you don't have homemade

Put frozen chicken in crockpot right out of freezer.

Whisk all other ingredients together - except rice, broccoli if using, cornstarch and water - and pour over the chicken.

Turn the crockpot on low and cook 4-5 hours. If desired, top with one 10-oz package broccoli flowerets one hour before chicken is finished.

Before serving, remove the chicken and broccoli and stir in cornstarch mixture. Turn crockpot on high until broth bubbles and thickens.

Turn crockpot off. Serve over rice or pasta.

Elmerita's Notes:

To this recipe, I have added the orange marmalade and orange zest for a bit more orange flavor. Also, IF I have a can of pineapple chunks open, I add with some of the juice. Recipe easy to adapt to your taste. Add snow peas, water chestnuts, even cashews.

Thank you @cherrywood

It's nice to see recipes I might have missed and it's not important to me what/who are their sources. I'm easy going about recipe posts. If someone 'needs' the source, they can google it 😁

@cherrywood

What a great thread! I will be reading for sure. I do not think I have any of the recipes from past years, but I will mention this site as it has many, many recipes and I enjoy searching it. I may have mentioned it before, so forgive me if I am repeating myself.

It is recipelinkdot com. They have older vintage recipes and newer ones too.

I made the Cannoli cake for Christmas and it was very good! I put actual cannoli on top for decoration.

@cherrywood - how are you supposed to know the 'source' of older forum recipes? It could be from someone's family, a hand written one from a friend, newspaper clipping. In most cases, it was from someone or somewhere -- not a recipe created by a poster

Please don't feel obligated or intimidated by anyone here to provide anything. The only rules that matter are the Community Standards.

I just find it creepy that someone follows me around the forums to post snark and demands...eewww!!!

I have lots of recipes from QVC when Hollee had the BB Recipes board with a lot of them posted over there. She posted she was taking the site down some years ago. Before she did that I copied all of them. I also have all the 2005 & 2006 Holiday recipes.

Enchilada Sauce

I have this printed out from 2015. Simple and delicious. Not sure who originally posted it.

1 T olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can Swanson less sodium chicken broth (14.5 oz)
1 can tomato sauce (15 oz)
1-2 T chopped chipotle chili in adobo sauce (to taste)
1 t chili powder
1 t ground cumin
1/2 t Kosher salt
1/8 t freshly ground black pepper
Heat saucepan over med heat. Add oil and garlic stirring about 1 minute. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 7-10 minutes

We don't like spicy things so I omit the Chipolte and it's still good.

@CoffeeNut, This was posted by @DiAnne . It freezes well too.

I'm not seeing L'il Bit Misty. I have many of her recipes imprisoned on a dead computer. Her recipes were always simple.

I agree with @kate2357 . If the info is available to you at the time you create a post, I think it's nice to acknowledge the source of the recipe. However, there is no need to research or stress oneself if you don't have it. I note at the end of recipes I copy, probably 99.8% of the time, from whom or where recipes were obtained .

Grrreat thread!!
