My background on this site is usually white. This morning it's gold and all the posts are on the right side of the screen. Weird!!

I just hit "Preview" and now it's back to normal.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CHEESECAKE (The Apple Crate)

CRUST

9 oz. chocolate wafer cookies

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

FILLING

1/2 lb. unsweetened chocolate

1 1/2 lb. cream cheese

3 large eggs

1 c. sugar

1/4 c. Amaretto liqueur

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 c. whipping cream

Whirl the chocolate cookies in a blender until they form crumbs. Mix with the melted butter. Press into the bottom and sides of a buttered 10-inch spring form pan and refrigerate until you're ready to fill and bake.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the top of a double boiler over boiling water, melt the chocolate. Set aside to cool. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and sugar and beat until well incorporated. Stir a small amount of this mixture into the chocolate to loosen. Add the chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir well. Stir in the Amaretto, vanilla and cream. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the cheesecake is slightly puffed and no longer jiggles in the center. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving for ease of slicing. Remove the sides of pan and cut with a sharp knife.

Hmm my GW looks right. Weird is right Patti!

Celery, Zucchini and Apple Salad (Dairy Farmers of Ontario)
I think broccoli would be awesome in this too, or instead of the zucchini. One reviewer put cauliflower in, and she loved it.

2 tbsp (30 ml) yogurt
2 tsp (10 ml) prepared sweet mustard
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 ml) grated lemon peel
1 tsp (5 ml) dried thyme
1 tsp (5 ml) dried parsley
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2 ml) pepper

Salad:
2 medium zucchini, cut into thin strips
4 stalks celery, sliced
1 red apple, cored and diced
1 green apple, cored and diced
2 cups (500 ml) finely chopped red leaf romaine
2 tbsp (30 ml) pinenuts, toasted

instructions
In measuring cup mix together cream, yogurt, mustard, lemon juice and peel, herbs, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 30 min.

Jas, I need help with the salad dressing recipe. How much honey do you think should be in it? And I would like broccoli in it much better than zucchini.

SALAD DRESSING

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
3-4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 k.g. honey (how much is this?)
1 tsp mustard

Mix well

The Amazing Race inspired me...lol Empanadas Shell: 4 cups all purpose flour 2/3 cup veg shortening 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vinegar 1 cup water or as needed Cut the shortening into the flour and salt with a fork or pastry blender. Add the vinegar and start with 1/2 cup of water, mixing with a spoon(I use a wooden spoon). Keep adding water until it has a dough consistency...not too wet, it should NOT be sticky. Roll out on a floured surface to a thin, pie crust consistency, about 1/8". Let it rest while you make the filling. Filling 1 1b. ground beef or chicken or pork or? 1 tsp. ground chili powder 1/2 tsp seasoning salt dash of cumin 1 med yellow onion diced 3 tsp minced garlic 4 oz can seeded/cooked diced green chiles 1 red bell pepper, seeded & diced Brown hamburger in a skillet until almost done, then add the onion & bell pepper, simmer till onion is glassy, then add rest of the ingredients. Note: I drain the oil off the hamburger and replace it with 1/2 cup of water to keep the filling moist. Cut the empanada shells into 4" rounds, I used a plastic can lid or use a small coffee can or other? Gather and left over dough, roll into a ball and roll out to cut another 4" shell out of. Spoon about 2TBL filling onto the middle and fold sides up pinching inward to each pinch to create a rolled edge effect "OR" use a fork to press the edges together. Preheat the oven to 375F. Cook on an ungreased baking sheet for 7 minutes, then turn, bake another 7 minutes. You can eat an empanada like a little meat sandwhich or smother in sauce like an enchilada, top with sour cream, cheese, lettuce and tomato. You can also fill with a cheese filling or your choice. Makes 24. Can be refrigerated or frozen for later use.

Thanks, Jasdip. I need that! I'm not totally against canned soup because they make life so darned easy, but your recipe sounds much better. Here's a low fat version of red beans and rice, which I love! I won't use a Scotch bonnet pepper though--way too hot! I'll try a little jalapeno instead. JAMACIAN RED BEANS AND RICE (Ginas Skinny Taste) Servings: 10 Serving Size: 3/4 cup Old Points: 4 pts Points+: 5 pts Calories: 192.4 Fat: 3 g Protein: 4.9 g Carb: 35.4 g Fiber: 2.6 g Sugar: 0.7 g Sodium: 133.4 mg (without salt) 1 tsp coconut oil (or canola) 1 garlic clove, crushed 1/4 cup onion, minced 1 scallion, chopped 1 sprig fresh thyme 15.5 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 2 cups uncooked long grain rice salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste 2 1/4 cups water 13.5 oz can (1 3/4 cups) light coconut milk 1 whole scotch bonnet hot pepper (not chopped) In a medium heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; add garlic, scallion, onion Add the coconut milk, water, salt and fresh pepper and place the whole scotch bonnet pepper in the pot, stir to combine and bring to a boil. Remove and discard the hot pepper and continue to cook the rice until almost all the liquid is absorbed and just skims the top. Cover; reduce heat to low; simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered for 10 additional minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice (do not be tempted to lift the lid before that). Makes 7-1/2 cups. Be careful handling the pepper--they are extremely hot.

I saw it on foodgawker. The original recipe was in Greek but it had a side translator. I did a search for kg and knew it was too much, but I was hoping you could decipher what amount it might be.

Oh, I wondered!
I would put no more than a tsp of honey in. With the ketchup, which is sweet, I wouldn't want too sweet of a dressing, probably.

Patti, you had me confused to! I got my phone, I have the Iphone with a free unit conversion app) and it was telling me the same thing!

I make a Honey Mustard salad dressing for DH. It calls for 1 1/2 T honey to 1 1/2 T. mustard so I would use 1 teaspoon honey to the 1 teaspoon mustard that it calls for.

Here is my Honey Mustard Dressing recipe

1/4 c. cider vinegar
1/2 c. oil - your choice
1 t. oregano
1 1/2 T honey
1 1/2 T mustard
1 T. parmesan cheese

Put all in a container with a tight lid and shake well. I also add a heaping t. of horseraddish that DH loves!
