  1. Baked Bean Canapes

    February 28, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio

    I know it is midweek, but sometimes you just need to think of fun social events and canapés…right? So how about Baked Bean Canapés? Besides, what WERE you planning to do with the leftover baked beans from last night? And-why bother with those expensive frozen rolled canapés…when you can have retro ones!

    Season ½ cup baked beans with 1 tablespoon chili sauce. Pile on thin slices of bread, roll, fasten with toothpicks, wrap in slices of bacon and toast under broiler until bacon is crisp.

    So, vintage dresses were in for the Oscars. Did anyone have some good retro party food at an Oscar party? What did you have? Did you watch the Oscars?

    Just in case you don’t get enough food stuff in your life…I just discovered (like 10 min ago) GroupRecipes

    It is a sort of combo between StumbleUpon and AllRecipes. Anyhow, I had to share.

    Sorry about the quietness, been sort of off my feed lately. Any special requests for recipes or some such?


  4. Cottage Cheese Salad

    February 18, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio

    I don’t know. Something about mayo just seems wrong with cottage cheese, so I am skipping it. Onions and olives certainly change up the cottage cheese in a fun new retro way. What do you think?

    1 lb. cottage cheese
    1 teaspoon grated onion or 1 tablespoon chopped stuffed olives
    Crisp lettuce or endive
    ¼ cup mayonnaise

    Combine cottage cheese with grated onion or olives. Cover and let stand in refrigerator at least 3o minutes to blend flavors. Heap lightly into lettuce cups on individual salad plates and serve with mayonnaise, if desired. 5 servings. Onion may be omitted, or chopped chives may be substituted. The Modern Family Cookbook
