I make spicy pretzles for special events. I got the recipe through allrecipes.com but people never ask about that. They are addictive after a few brews.Hi all. Angie is away from the CF-keyboard for a short time, so she asked me to provide a Friday OT for this week. Of course, I’m happy to serve as backup-QB. I hope I can do the series justice in her absence.
This week’s question: Do you have a “special recipe” you’ve perfected to the point that people expect/anticipate you making it for seasonal or special occasions? Did you encounter the recipe through family or friends, then customized as you went along? Or did you start with a cookbook source and tinker with it from there?
Feel free to list multiple recipes, if it applies.
... It's the cream cheese ... Get the ricotta out of here.
I'm going to try that w/ my next lasagna event.
I didn't know you smoked weed...I used to make a super sandwich consisting of ham, cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, dill relish and peanut butter that my son always requested. I guess I should note that he's the only one who has ever requested it.
I doctored up my mom's lasagna recipe and get lots of positives for that. It's the cream cheese and Italian sausage. Get the ricotta out of here.
I'm making lasagna for me-sig-other birthday meal right now. I offered to use cream cheese, but everyone likes my lasagna the way I make it, and they like ricotta, so they don't want me to mess with it.
Yeah, I could've substituted it secretly, but it could've backfired if it wasn't up to snuff.
--> I already use Italian sausage instead of beef (or sometimes 50-50), so I'm halfway there.
next time try one on one half and one on the other
Cream cheese and cottage cheese.
On the cheese-choice topic, what do you think is most noticeable advantage of cream over ricotta?
