1-8: Delicious Cocktail Snacks

I recently attended a birthday party, and was tasked with making some of the dishes for the party (as is usually the case). Seeing as some of the guests were “old-school” about their dining preferences, I decided to use up some of the more “old-school” recipes. 1-8: Delicious Cocktail Snacks looks exactly like something a waiter would be carrying around at a fancy cocktail party in an old movie.

So retro. These were pretty easy to make, and actually held really well in the fridge before the party. I reheated them at the party and it worked great–just a thought if you need something for a party that you can make earlier, transport and/or reheat later.

2-26: Corn & Wild Rice Salad

In the mood for more corn after 3-14: Creamy Corn Chowder? It’s still not quite corn season yet, but if you’ve got some frozen corn hanging out in the freezer, you can feel like it’s summer with 2-26: Corn & Wild Rice Salad.

This would be a great recipe to make for a summer BBQ or picnic–it’s healthy, pretty, and as they say above, easy to make. It feels incredibly out of season now (February), but therein lies the magic of the Internet–you might find this in June or July and it’ll be perfect then.

5-11: Country Omelette

Jamie Martin Group 05: Eggs & Cheese, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters January 17, 2016October 14, 2020bacon, black pepper, breakfast, butter, carrots, cast-iron, cheese, cooked chicken, diced, dinner, easy, eggs, French, green bell peppers, ground meat, ham, inexpensive, lunch, omelette, parsley, potatoes, red bell peppers, salt, sausage, sautéed, untested, yellow onions

This is another backlogged one from November 2015 like 14-12: Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce. You’ve probably already seen the results of 5-11: Country Omelette, but I maintain that I CAN make a good omelette–this was just not one of them.

Country omelettes are a thing, usually referred to country French omelettes. As is my problem a lot of times, I had pan difficulties which led to this one not turning out well. Maybe it’s time to do some pan shopping.

12-22: Nasi Goreng

Jamie Martin Group 12: Pasta & Rice, Section 2: Main Courses December 1, 2015July 28, 2020amchur powder, Asian, bean sprouts, canola oil, cashews, chili powder, chutney, coconut, condiments, crushed red pepper, curry powder, dairy-free, dinner, eggs, fairly easy, fish sauce, fried, galangal, garlic, garlic powder, ginger, granulated sugar, ham, Indian, Indonesian, inexpensive, julienned, lunch, omelette, pan-fried, paprika, pineapple, rice, salt, sautéed, scrambled, shredded, sliced, soy sauce, spice blends, spicy, Tabasco sauce, Thai, untested, yellow onions

Here’s something a bit different from the Pasta and Rice chapter. Simply Delicious has a lot of international recipes, some more authentic than others. 12-22: Nasi Goreng is a take on a popular Indonesian fried rice dish, a sweeter and spicier variation of the ubiquitous Chinese take-out version.

This recipe doesn’t give you much in the way of creating Nasi Goreng spices if you don’t have access to or want to use a premixed blend. After the jump, I’ll include a Nasi Goreng spice blend I used and a link to the book from which I pulled it.

12-11: Italian Macaroni and Cheese

Jamie Martin Group 12: Pasta & Rice, Section 2: Main Courses November 21, 2015July 27, 2020al dente, black pepper, boiled, carrots, Cheddar, cheese, chicken bouillon, chicken broth, cooked chicken, dinner, fairly easy, grated, half-and-half, ham, inexpensive, Italian, julienned, layers, lunch, macaroni, Parmesan, party food, pasta/noodles, quiche lorraine, salt, shredded, smoked ham, untested

Before you make up your mind on 12-11: Italian Macaroni & Cheese, I must let you know that it is not what you are expecting. If you are envisioning just another creamy cheesy béchamel-based sauce, this is NOT that.

This has ham in it and NO cheese in the sauce. All the cheese is on top. The noodles are suspended in a cream and egg base similar to a quiche filling. Jump behind the cut and see what this wacky mac & cheese is all about.

5-12: Deviled Eggs

Jamie Martin Group 05: Eggs & Cheese, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters October 12, 2014October 14, 2020appetizers, black olives, boiled, capers, chopped, deviled, diced, easy, eggs, gluten-free, ham, hard-boiled, hors d'oeuvres, inexpensive, lettuce, party food, smoked ham, snacks, sour cream, stuffed, untested

5-12: Deviled Eggs is somewhat different take on a pretty traditional dish. Deviled eggs are very commonplace in American cuisine, and there are varying reasons for the name.

Deviled eggs (to me) usually have mustard and mayo mixed with the yolks, and some paprika sprinkled on top. These eggs have NONE of those things (except the egg parts).

7-50: Parma Schnitzel

Jamie Martin Group 07: Pork, Section 2: Main Courses October 7, 2014June 19, 2020all-purpose flour, basil, black pepper, bread crumbs, breaded, butter, coated, crushed tomatoes, dinner, dredged, dried herbs, easy, eggs, fairly inexpensive, fried, ham, Italian, lunch, oregano, pan-fried, paprika, Parmesan, pork, pork loin, pork shoulder, reduced, salt, schnitzel, tenderized, tomato sauce, tomatoes, untested, white bread, yellow onions

Schnitzel has been a favorite of mine ever since I went on a trip with my family to Israel when I was 13 (I chose that instead of the party–I never say no to a chance to travel, especially abroad). Obviously, they didn’t serve a lot of pork schnitzel there, but 7-50: Parma Schnitzel is a good version all the same.

This is a quasi-Italian-style schnitzel, which according to Wikipedia, is one of the few countries that schnitzel is not a cuisine of. Well, this one’s good anyway.

12-6: Seasoned Pasta Toss

Jamie Martin Group 12: Pasta & Rice, Section 2: Main Courses May 30, 2014July 27, 2020basil, boiled, breasts, cheese, chicken, cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, crab, dairy-free, dinner, easy, fettuccini, garlic, ham, healthy, herbs and spices, inexpensive, Italian, linguine, low heat, lunch, minced, olive oil, Parmesan, parsley, party food, pasta/noodles, salt, seafood, side dish, spaghetti, tagliatelle, tossed, untested, vegan, vegetarian

I jumped several sections ahead a few weeks ago when I needed to make a pasta side dish for something (I don’t even remember what at this point). I don’t have this group scanned yet and I procrastinated on scanning the card–oh well. 🌿

We find 12-6: Seasoned Pasta Toss in Book 2, Group 2 (Main Courses), Subgroup 12 (Pasta & Rice). I still have a ton of parsley in my freezer and gluten-free rice pasta in my pantry, and it’s time to clean house.

Too bad it turned out to be less than impressive. It’s my fault, but still.

5-7: Quiche Lorraine

Jamie Martin Group 05: Eggs & Cheese, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters April 23, 2014April 29, 20201970s, all-purpose flour, black pepper, butter, Cheddar, cheese, chicken fat, chilled, cut in, diced, dinner, dough, dried herbs, eggs, fairly hard, fairly inexpensive, filling, French, grated, green onions, ham, herbs and spices, housewarming party, Hutton house, Jarlsberg, leeks, lunch, paprika, pie crust, quiche lorraine, quiches, rendered, revisited, salt, sautéed, smoked ham, Swiss, tart pan, Tarzana apt, whipping cream

This was supposed to be 5-24: Meat-Filled Crêpes, but ingredient shortages persist. A trip to the market tomorrow should resolve it, but for now, we’ll have to make do with an old classic, 5-7: Quiche Lorraine.

This one I have made in the past, several times. Two past memorable occasions:

– When my boyfriend (now husband) and I officially moved into our first apartment together a few years ago, we threw a 1970s-themed housewarming party. This along with another quiche, some rumaki, fondue, and other 1970s goodness made up the menu.

– When I was in 7th grade, I had to do some sort of project on France/French culture in my English class (I have no idea why). My project partner and I made this recipe at her house and also bought a Celine Dion CD (where she sings in French) to play while the class ate our quiche. I think her mom returned the CD to Target the next day. That was our lazy, late-90s attempt at French culture. 🇫🇷
