1 1/2 scant tsp. salt
3 lg. eggs

Generously butter a 6-cup popover tin, set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir flour, milk & salt. Add eggs, 1 at a time, & stir to combine. Small lumps may remain. Do not overmix.

Using a 1/2 cup measure, gently pour batter into center of each prepared popover cup.

Bake for 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 20 more minutes.
Immediately invert pan to remove and serve hot.

Enjoy!

Instantly started salivating over this ... Going to try this receipe as I adore Popovers.

I'll be back later to post a couple easy soup recipes I recently tried. Those at my house also enjoyed them. I picked up a soup recipe magazine that has some wonderful recipes in it. With the changing of the weather, we'll be trying many of them at our house.

I made this the other night and my vegetable-hating Honey LOVED it!
She's asked me to make it again tonight.This time I'm going to substitute marinated artichoke hearts instead of the asparagus.
Also,I used very little of the breadcrumbs.

SERVES 4 (as an appetizer or else you're gonna want to eat 2 per person)


Ingredients
1-1 1/4 lb portabella mushroom (4 large)
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups fresh asparagus, cut (about 5 ounces spears)
1/3 cup shallot or sweet onion, chopped
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 large roma tomato, diced (1/2 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup fresh breadcrumb (Italian or multi-grain)
1/4 cup romano cheese or parmesan cheese, grated
parsley flakes

Directions
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2 Gently gut gills from mushroom caps with a spoon and cut off stems; rinse each cap thoroughly under cold water and pat tops dry with paper towel. Coarsely chop stems and set aside. Brush 2 teaspoons of the oil over mushroom caps; place oiled sides down on a 15"x10" jelly roll pan or baking sheet.

3 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, shallots, garlic and chopped mushroom stems. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
4Remove from heat; stir in tomato, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into mushroom caps. Combine bread crumbs and cheese; sprinkle evenly over mushrooms. Sprinkle parsley flakes over bread crumbs. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until hot and crumbs are golden brown.

This is already an AWESOME thread!!! Thanks so much to everyone who has posted recipe's so far...I wanna try them all (even the chick pea one Arwen)

More from my Tarot and food series. This is a super-easy crockpot recipe.

• 
  2 of Swords & Arwen’s Creole Chicken
  
  
• 2 LG chicken breasts; (I prefer with the bone)
• 1 cn Ro-tel Tomatoes, original recipe; (best brand I know of)
• 1 C rice, long grain white (if you use brown, increase water by half and cooking time by 15 minutes)
• 1 cn water (use the Ro-tel can so you can get the rest of the flavor!)
• 1/2 C honey
• 1-3 TBS Tony Cachere’s Cajun Seasoning (Don’t overdo. You can add more after cooking!)

Preheat the oven to 350.


Spray the bottom of a cast iron dutch oven with a cooking spray such as Pam.


Put the rice in and dump the Rotel on top. Fill the can with water and put that over the rice and Rotel. (Note, the water should stand approximately one knuckle above the rice so you may need to add water.) Season with Tony’s.


Put the chicken on top and liberally douse with honey (I use at least 1/2 a cup if not more.) Season with Tony’s again. Put the lid on and place in the oven at 350 degrees for at least an hour.


I like to serve this with a green salad and French bread. If you don’t use the cooking spray, clean up is a chore!

If you're inviting people to eat at your table, when the time comes, don't leave me out. I may need a break and a caring friend. Besides, I like road trips.

Mmmmmm, a food thread!!

Super easy baked chicken. The original version of this was called Lazy Lady's Chicken, I think. My version is not the same.


Chicken For One

1 frozen chicken breast (boneless skinless)
1 potato, cut into 1" cubes
2 TBS Olive Oil
1 TBS Lemon Juice
Garlic Powder (to taste...I use a lot..lol)
Honey
Tabasco
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 350.

Place the chicken breast (yes, still frozen) in an 8" square glass baking dish.

Now put the potatoes all around the chicken.

Drizzle the olive oil over all. Same with the garlic powder, honey, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Do this to taste.

Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. Test potatoes. If they aren't done, but the chicken is, throw them in the microwave for five minutes.

NOTE: As soon as you can, you are going to want to put water in this pan for clean up. Do NOT let it sit in the sink. You will regret it. LOL Yes, personal experience!

Alternative: Instead of potatoes, slice a yellow squash in half and bake it. Or a tomato. Mmmm

PS on the spinach....cook it (releases more of the iron) and pair it with something that has vitamin c. I have a great recipe for sauteed spinach that I love....and I hate cooked spinach. Let me find it and I will post it. Other iron rich foods: figs, almonds, hazelnuts, red meat esp organ meats (but I don't eat organ meat, bleh).

Today, I had a doctor's appointment and there is a deli in the same building. I popped in and talked up the counter guy. They make their food from scratch every day, including salads and soups. They even have a specialty sandwich called a 'damn' sandwich. Basically, the guy writes 'damn' on the order and, whichever chef gets the ticket, makes whatever DAMN sandwich s/he wants. I love the concept, allergies aside.

Anyway, he gave me a sample of their pasta salad for the day and it was phenomenal! Corkscrew wheat pasta, rosemary vinaigrette, black and Greek olives, orzo, artichokes, sweet red onions, and fresh Parmesan cheese. Yummmmy!
