Recipe Sifter

I was looking for a recipe which would show off the colors of M&Ms. I exchanged the margarine for butter. At first bite, the cookie was a bit dry. Then the butter kicked in and it just melted in my mouth. What a flavor experience! I will definitely be making this cookie again!

These lentil burgers are packed with flavor and goodness.They can be served on top of hamburger bun, with some chutney or whatever your favorite toppings; or just have these tasty burgers with some fresh vegetable salad to complete a meal.

Luck of the Irish quiche with a corned beef hash crust, Swiss cheese, and a creamy egg custard. A crustless-style quiche that skips the pastry for something heartier.

Homemade Jos Louis cakes (gateaux Jos Louis): French Canadian chocolate sandwich cakes with fluffy marshmallow-style vanilla filling and a rich chocolate icing coat. A Quebec childhood classic.

Very tasty and you can definitely notice the great flavor from all these spices.

Loaded baked potato soup turns the steakhouse appetizer into a creamy roux-thickened soup with russet potatoes, sharp cheddar, sour cream, crisp bacon, and green onions. Hearty, restaurant-style comfort in a bowl.

Salad dressing cranberry muffins use Miracle Whip in place of butter or oil for a strikingly tender crumb. Tart cranberries, bright orange zest, and orange juice concentrate make these holiday-ready.

Lots of flavor, and the recipe is easy to follow. My family loves this dish. Will be making it again for sure.

Buttery and crunchy, they are great for making holiday cookies.

These scones were so easy to make, and they can be kept in a well-sealed bag or container in the freezer for up to at least one month. Not only good for breakfast, but also an easy snack. Just pop one or two in the microwave, and spread with some butter, or apple butter, or any jam. Delicious.

These can be served warm or at room temperature with a pat of unsalted butter. Because there’s so much sweetness inside—from the cranberries, chocolate and orange zest—preserves would be overkill. This holiday recipe is so festive, why not gather some friends to enjoy them with some good coffee or tea before the season gets too busy. Find more recipes on TheNibble.com.
