French appetizers/5 recipes

Enjoy the decadence of this rich classic lightened up. This simple and easy French onion soup lets you enjoy without the guilt. Use any leftover bread you might have, it's extra filling using some toasty whole-wheat grain filled bread and it gives a nutritional boost.

Slightly sweet and sour. Ginger and garlic Asian dressing was super flavourful. The napa cabbage, carrots, and radishes gave the salad a nice crunch. Definitely will be making it again with my leftover turkey. I'm sure that it works great with chicken as well.

Butter fluffy and light as a feather. Hundreds (700+ actually) layers of butter and flour create this classic and very useful French pastry

This was outstanding. A huge amount of flavor was developed in the slow and low technique using my slow cooker. A classic mostly hands-free make ahead main dish that filled the house with aroma.

This recipe is based on the one from Jean Christoph Novelli's grandmother Louise's recipe. He call's it "The Most Amazing Tomato Sauce on the planet" I agree. This is not the exact recipe (I tweaked it very slightly and made some educated guesses on the amounts of various ingredients but based upon the taste I believe it is probably very close.

With fresh seasonal vegetables and phyllo pastry, these tarts come out beautiful and delicious. We like asparagus and green onions, feel free to use any fresh green vegetables that you have on hand.

Made these quiche tarts for Sean last week, and he absolutely loved these mini savoury tarts. I made my own biscuit baking mix (see the link below), and followed the recipe exactly. These tarts are good to freeze as well. Whenever feeling hungry, pop one or two into microwave. Definitely a keeper!

Low-fat ricotta cheese and goat cheese on top of the phyllo, mixed mushrooms with leeks cooked in white wine, on top of the cheese, delicious...

Easy French Pancakes recipe

"Prime rib is one of the most delectable dinners there is. We order it in our favorite upscale restaurant on special occasions, but few consider they have the skill to make it at home. Yes, you do and here's how. It will compare to the finest you've ever eaten and you'll be be amazed at how easy it is to do. It's not a budget dinner, so go to a reputable butcher and buy the best quality 'Prime' Rib roast available.

Even if you dont like Ricotta cheese. DO NOT pass up this great recipe. I would have to give it a 5 star plus rating! Those who tasted these yummy treats all agree to the five star rating. So easy to make, but so hard to keep the cookie monster away! You will not be sorry with these great little treats!
