Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Recipe

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00:25 +0000

Don't save this for Thanksgiving alone. It's an easy but impressive dessert year-round. Rich cheesecake has the spiced flavor of pumpkin pie swirled throughout, and it couldn't be easier to make. Use fresh mashed pumpkin or canned pumpkin. If you don't want to bother with a springform pan, simply use pre-made graham cracker crusts to get two cheesecake pies instead of one. Whipped cream on top is an extra-special decadent touch, but this cheesecake stands on its own.

Walmart and Melissa�d'Arabian, winner of 2009's�The Next Food Network Star�and host of the new Food Network show�Ten Dollar Dinners, have teamed up to create recipes on a budget for the holidays. Here we have turkey roasted with a compound herb butter flavored with rosemary and sage. The bird is stuffed with more herbs and a full head of whole garlic cloves, then roasted to perfection in a wine bath. Do not be concerned about the amount of garlic. Whole roasted garlic cloves are mellow and almost nutty in flavor.

How to Debone a Turkey

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:00:06 +0000

Can you tell this turkey has been almost entirely deboned? Your guests will never guess it is deboned until you cut it. Frozen turkeys are available year-round. They are quite good roasted with the bones in, but the bones can make carving difficult. Some butchers will debone the turkey for you, usually at a higher price. It is easy to do it yourself in about 15 minutes. Learn how to remove the breast, back, and thigh bones, and you'll end up with a boneless turkey suitable for stuffing.

Walmart and Melissa d'Arabian, winner of 2009's The Next Food Network Star and host of the new Food Network show Ten Dollar Dinners, have teamed up to create recipes on a budget for the holidays. Canned creamed corn is enhanced with bacon, sweet onions, thyme, and Parmesan cheese. It is cooked primarily on the stovetop, then quickly browned under the broiler. Try this as a substitute for traditional corn pudding. It is a perfect side dish for any time of the year.

Maple Orange Chicken Recipe

Maple syrup and fresh orange give an amazing flavor to this simple recipe for baked chicken. It is easy to prepare and just toss in the oven for less than an hour. Although using a whole chicken that you cut up yourself is more economical, you can use your favorite pre-cut chicken cuts with equal success. Great as a glaze for chicken wings, too.

Boneless Stuffed Turkey Recipe

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000

You can fit more stuffing in a boneless turkey and have an easier time carving it to boot. Your guests will never know by looking at it that the turkey has been deboned (here's how to debone it). Visually, it looks just like a standard stuffed turkey. This recipe was designed for use in a counter-top roaster oven but may be prepared in a standard oven as well.

Cranberry Pepper Pork Loin Roast Recipe

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:00:05 +0000

The sweet and spicy combination of cranberries and chipotle chile pepper make this pork loin roast irresistable. Need to cook pork to death these days. A faint pink center will ensure that this roast will be moist and tender. Adjust your cooking time to suit your own taste, but it will be more dry and tough if you cook it well-done. Plan ahead for marination time. Do not confuse pork loin with pork tenderloin. The tenderloin is the small strip, which compares to the filet mignon tenderloin on a cow. You want the loin, not the tenderloin, for this recipe. Luckily the loin is much less expensive than the tenderloin.

This recipe uses a packaged brownie mix, peanut butter chips, and sweetened condensed milk. The secret crispy ingredient is potato chips in the frosting. The end result is as rich as a candy bar with a fudgy brownie layer, peanut butter caramel, and crispy chocolate frosting. Cut these small because they are sure to cause sugar shock!
