Since we no longer have our recipe link, I thought maybe I'd try to create a thread where we could post our favorite recipes. We should probably try to keep them in categories, don't you think. And maybe only one recipe per reply?

1 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg , freshly grated

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Split the squash into thirds and remove the seeds.
Cut a slice off the bottom of each piece so that it sits evenly, skin-side down, in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish.
In the hollow of each piece, place 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Bake in the heated oven until fork tender, about 45 minutes.

16 ounce package frozen cauliflower *
8 ounce cream cheese with chives
8 ounce shredded cheddar
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pieces bacon, chopped and fried until crisp
Paprika, optional

Cook the cauliflower until soft, about 8-10 minutes; drain very well and break up florets a bit with a spoon (it's also very good if the cauliflower is still a little chunky). Put in a greased 8 x 8" baking pan or 2-quart casserole. Mix in the cream cheese, cheddar, green onion, salt, pepper and bacon. Dust top with paprika, if desired. Bake at 350º for 20-40 minutes, until browned and bubbly. Or, microwave, loosely covered, for about 40 minutes on 50% power, turning dish after 20 minutes.

Makes 6 servings (3.5 net carbs each)

Hi Gooch...long time no bother! You don't *have* to use corn if you're in a stricter mode, but it suuuure is good! Budget in a few extra carbs/calories and give it a whirl. Use a good oil for best results......

Q's Roasted Corn and Mushroom Salsa Mess:

This stuff is great with grilled chicken, pork, or fish or as an addition to any type of taco. It can also be served as a salad, topped with lobster or shrimp, or as an appetizer....or just eat it if you're in the mood!

You Will Need:

5 ears fresh corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup fresh shiitake or other wild mushrooms, cleaned and diced
2 large poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 teaspoon minced fresh marjoram
1 clove roasted garlic, peeled
1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

What to Do
1. Cut corn kernels from cobs. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add one layer of kernels and cook in cast-iron skillet without oil, tossing constantly, until corn is smoky and dark, about five minutes. Place in large bowl and repeat until all the corn is cooked.

2. Heat olive oil in sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about five minutes. Add corn. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Season with additional salt, if needed. Serve at room temperature. Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container, for up to two days.

Makes 3 cups

Have fun...

Sausage/Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

About 20 or so white mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned out.
1 lb. of your favorite sausage
4 oz. cream cheese
1/4 of a large onion, diced

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

I like to place my mushrooms upside down an a rack inside of a baking sheet with sides and bake them for about 10 minutes or so to let some of the juices out. That's just a personal preference.

In the mean time, fry up the sausage and onions til done. Put the cream cheese, sliced up, in there and let it get melty and stirred into the meat.

Put your mushrooms in a baking dish and fill 'em up! Bake them for around 15 minutes or so. Yum!

I make my green beans this way all the time, since I learned Linda's method years ago on this board (I call them "gooch beans")! I wanted to mention that I add a teaspoon of cider vinegar to the liquid mixture. It gives a delicious, sweet and sour German potato salad taste!

Green Bean Casserole

2 cans french cut green beans, drained.
4 oz can mushroom pieces and stems, drained
1/2 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced thin
2 T. butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 c. mayo
1 cup cubed cheese (your favorite kind: cheddar, jack, cream, or a mix)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder
(Opt.: crushed pork rinds or finely blended LC bread crumbs for top)

In skillet, saute onions and celery in butter. Stir in mushrooms. In large mixing bowl, mix mayo and cream with seasonings. Stir in green beans, cheese cubes and sauteed ingredients. Pour into greased large baking dish. Add topping, if desired. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake a few more minutes, until browned.

I've made this for several Thanksgiving dinners. It's far better than the soup/onion rings casserole!!

AMISH CABBAGE SLAW

Ingredients
1 medium head cabbage, cored and shredded
1 medium onion, finely chopped (I used a red one)
1 cup white sugar ( I used splenda)
1 cup vinegar ( I used 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed (used celery salt and decreased the amount of table salt)
1 teaspoon white sugar (omitted)
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

NOTE: I messed up when I made this. I mixed the spenda in wtih the vinegar etc and boiled it all for three minutes. It turned out fine. I don't really understand why you would want to sprinkle sugar on your cabbage and then add the dressing.

You really need to make this the first day and let it sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Also, it is way sloppy with dressing so it needs to be served with a slotted spoon.

1.In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, onion, and 1 cup sugar. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, salt, celery seed, 1 teaspoon white sugar, mustard and oil. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Cool completely, then pour over cabbage mixture, and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
