Recipes

[sfnative]

Thank you, Moderators, for this thread!

My activity on the forum commenced in 2004, but was primarily focused on Viewpoints, Wellness and Beauty, when I could sneak in a bit of time in my life-consumming job from which I am now retired.

Having "discovered" the Recipe and Kitchen forums several years ago, I'm having fun adding many wonderful recipes that bring great entres to the dinner table and way too many desserts out of the oven!  LOL!  This last my obvious weakness.

I've discovered "Zoodles" here (such a healthy way to eat) and also several candy recipes which I use during the days leading up to Christmas.  Also, numerous Mediterranian culture recipes, which have brought great tastes into our home.

One of my favorites from 2014, I believe, was LoLa's "Strawberry Sour Cream Cake."  This is a great cake to make and take to the office,  group picnic, church function, family reunion, you name it.  It's a keeper for sure.  Thanks, again, LoLa!

Strawberry Sour Cream Cake

1 cup salted butter, softened

1-1/2 cups cane sugar

3 large eggs

4 Tbs lemon juice dvided

Zest of 1 lemon

2-1/2 cups flour, divided

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

8 oz. sour cream

1-1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

1 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees . Grease and flour a 10 inch tube (Bundt) pan. Stir together 2-1/4 cups flour, baking soda, salt. Add in lemon zest and set aside. With a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in 2 Tbs lemon juice. Alternate mixing the flour mixture and the sour cream until all is incorporated (starting with flour and ending with four). Mix strawberries in remaining 1/4 cup of flour. Gently fold into the batter. Pour mixture into bundt pan and reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Mix together powdered sugar and up to 2 Tbs of lemon juice to make glaze. Drizzle over top of cake.

Sorry, not the way it copied

I'm just glad you had it.  I thought I had copied it but I guess I didn't.  Thank you for being more thorough than I am and thanks to the QVC moderators for this thread!

@ChynnaBlue

Hi ChynnaBlue,

This is so way off topic, but I did want to let you know that contrary to what I indicated yesterday regarding getting my avatar back using your kind intructions, I was unable to do so, as something has changed: there is no "Browse" to click on any longer.  When I did this initialy after the forum change and using your instructions, no problem. 

So, I remain an amorphous male person...Arrrgh.

Thanks, again, for all of the instructions you have so kindly provided.  You've removed so much angst from so many lives by doing this and are clearly a talented expository writer.

Hi Rebecca / @sfnative, 

Once you're on My Settings and Avatars, you should see something like this:

Make sure you click on Upload an Avatar. That will open a new window with the BROWSE button. I just tested it and got this:

Make sure that you have the From My Computer tab selected. (The tabs in this image are shown above the words Choose Avatar From My Computer.) If you are not on the right tab, you will not have the BROWSE button.

I hope that helps! Thank you for the kind words. Creating training and step-by-step guides is part of my day job, so it's a good thing when people think I'm good at it.

@ChynnaBlue

Thanks so much for the additional information.  When I click on "Upload an Avatar," I get a blank white box with an "X"  outside the upper right hand corner, so this ends up being a dead end for me.  Will insure "From My Computer" is chosen.  Have no clue what was previously chosen or was a default. (Must make an IKEA trip, so will get back to this a bit later.  Need hanging lamps badly in new place.)  Thanks ever so much for your kind assistance.

please find the huli huli chicken recipe - made something like that years ago and my family would so enjoy it. Can't remember the particulars now....maybe someone has a recipe to assist my memory as well?

@Beth-QVC

Beth, I'm still mourning for the group of recipes that were lost when QVC updated the Boards -- and still hoping someone at Q will find time to restore the missing posts from Recipe Swap, Kitchen and Food Talk, and Book Club.  Old posts may not be of prime importance to a lot of the Forums, but they certainly are here. Put in a good word for restoration if you can.

I remember seeing the Huli Huli Chicken post, but sadly I didn't copy any of the then current threads.  I was busy copying old posts because I was afraid they would be dropped, and I was in the middle of a copying session at the time the changeover happened.  It never occurred to me that it would be the most current threads that would drop.

I searched my "computer stash" and these are the only two Huli Huli recipes I have.  Maybe they will help.

Hawaii Island Huli Huli Chicken

(From an old shareware program called "Edna's Cookbook") 

2 (1 1/2 lb) broiler/fryer chickens

1 piece crushed ginger root

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 clove crushed garlic

1/4 cup catsup

1 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoon sherry to taste

Put chicken on rotisserie spit and tie securely. Combine remaining ingredients and brush chicken, basting every 20 minutes. Cook at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until done.

Huli Huli Chicken at Home

(From Cook’s Country / Cook’s Illustrated)

Serves 4 to 6

Split chicken halves are whole chickens that have been split in two through the breastbone. You can buy them at the market or prepare them yourself. Lee Kum Kee Tabletop Soy Sauce is our favorite supermarket brand.

Chicken

2 quarts water

2 cups soy sauce

1 tablespoon vegetable oill

6 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

4 chicken, split halves (about 8 pounds total) (see note)

Glaze

3 (6-ounce) cans pineapple juice

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup rice vinegar

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce

2 cups wood chips (we like mesquite), soaked for 15 minutes

1. BRINE CHICKEN Combine water and soy sauce in large bowl. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir into soy sauce mixture. Add chicken and refrigerate, covered, for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
2. MAKE GLAZE Combine pineapple juice, sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and chili-garlic sauce in empty saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thick and syrupy (you should have about 1 cup), 20 to 25 minutes.
3. PREP GRILL Seal wood chips in foil packet and cut vent holes in top. Open bottom vents on grill. Light about 75 coals. When coals are covered with fine gray ash, spread evenly over bottom of grill. Arrange foil packet directly on coals. Set cooking grate in place and heat, covered with lid vent open halfway, until wood chips begin to smoke heavily, about 5 minutes. (For gas grill, place foil packet directly on primary burner. Heat all burners on high, covered, until wood chips begin to smoke heavily, about 15 minutes. Turn all burners to medium-low.) Scrape and oil cooking grate.
4. GRILL CHICKEN Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange chicken skin-side up on grill (do not place chicken directly above foil packet). Grill, covered, until chicken is well browned on bottom and meat registers 120 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Flip chicken skin-side down and continue to grill, covered, until skin is well browned and crisp and thigh meat registers 170 to 175 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to platter, brush with half of glaze, and let rest 5 minutes. Serve, passing remaining glaze at table.

MAKE AHEAD: Both the brine and the glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Do not brine the chicken for longer than 8 hours or it will become too salty.

To all the moderators:

Thanks for joining in and I'm glad you like moderating this particular forum. 

Once all of we customers get used to the transitions of the format we will be happier, but I still so enjoy this particular venue within QVC as well as the kitchen and some others (Gardening , Home, etc.). 

I read more often than post but in general many of the forums have great "QVC'ers" that do share ideas.

I agree with the person that posted a few days ago that it would be nice to have a "baked goods" or something like that thread, especially with Chanukah and Christmas comiing up so that cookies, cakes, etc. could be gone to directly.  There was a very short "cookies" tab on the old forum site.

Cheers, and keep up the good (almost typed "food" by accident) work.

This thread is so precious, just love reading it.

Thanks Q. Moderators

Hello Moderators! 

Thanks for participating on our  forum!  We all have a good time here and are happy you decided to join in! 

Yes, we lost a lot of recipes when the Q went to the new forums and if there is someway to restore them, that would be wonderful!  Were you aware that until August of this year that one of the past posters, Hollee, maintained a website full  of recipes from QVC participants to these boards?   I can still access it here

http://bb-recipes.com/

and the recipes still appear.  I did not see the huli huli chicken listed, sadly.  Many of these recipes are from past posters, most of whom no longer participate on a regular basis but occassionally one will "drop in".
