I’ve been looking for a simple chocolate cake recipe, so that I could begin to avoid the convenience of box cake mixes without making my life too complicated, and something delightful happened. I found a simple chocolate cake recipe, yes, but even better: this cake is one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/simple-rich-chocolate-cake/feed/ Curry Chicken and Cauliflower in a Crock-Pot http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/curry-chicken-and-cauliflower-in-a-crock-pot/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/curry-chicken-and-cauliflower-in-a-crock-pot/#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:45:09 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1708

Curry Chicken and Cauliflower in a Crock-Pot This is a simple and delicious slow-cooker meal using prepared curry powder as the main spice. You could substitute other vegetables (potatoes would work well), and/or omit the chicken for a vegetarian meal, but keep the cauliflower as it tastes delicious bathed in curry. Chicken Breasts - 2-3 lbs, cut [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/curry-chicken-and-cauliflower-in-a-crock-pot/feed/ Simple But Not-Too-Sweet Pecan Pie http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/simple-but-not-too-sweet-pecan-pie/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/simple-but-not-too-sweet-pecan-pie/#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 04:00:23 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1692

I made this pecan pie for Thanksgiving, and for Christmas I am going to make 2! Sorry pumpkin pie, but you’re going to have to share the spotlight with my new favorite pie, which is almost more of a tart - and well, you know how I feel about tarts: cherry cream cheese, plum with [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/simple-but-not-too-sweet-pecan-pie/feed/ Cream Cheese Crust http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/cream-cheese-crust/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/cream-cheese-crust/#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 03:49:49 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1696

Despite its name, you really don’t taste the cream cheese in this crust. Instead, the cream cheese lends a richness to the flavor, and the crust is flaky and light. Butter - 8 Tblsp. (1 stick) - cold and cut into slices or cubes All-purpose flour - 1 cup plus 2 Tblsp. Salt - 1/4 tsp. Cream cheese - [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/cream-cheese-crust/feed/ Smooth and Crunchy Cheese Ball http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/smooth-and-crunchy-cheese-ball/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/smooth-and-crunchy-cheese-ball/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:30:14 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1685

This is an elegant, kind of retro, appetizer that’s easy to make and tastes delicious. It’s made of cream cheese and grated Parmesan, with horseradish for a bit of zip. Chopped up vegetables such as carrots, onions, celery or peppers add the crunch and a healthy twist. Cover it with nuts such as chopped walnuts [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/12/smooth-and-crunchy-cheese-ball/feed/ Easy Overnight Cinnamon Rolls http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/easy-overnight-cinnamon-rolls/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/easy-overnight-cinnamon-rolls/#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:38:48 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1668

I like recipes where you do just a little bit of preparation the night before and the ingredients do most of the work while you’re sleeping. This is one of those recipes, and the results are amazingly delicious for such a little bit of effort. All you have to do is put frozen rolls in [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/easy-overnight-cinnamon-rolls/feed/ Double Vanilla Mess Cake in a Crock-Pot http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/double-vanilla-mess-cake-in-a-crock-pot/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/double-vanilla-mess-cake-in-a-crock-pot/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:47:49 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1650

Even though I’ve made a few cakes and a bread in a Crock-Pot, it still seems like a gamble to me, and perhaps that is part of the excitement. The Triple Chocolate Mess Cake in a Crock-Pot is easily one of the most popular posts on this blog, and so I thought I’d follow up [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/double-vanilla-mess-cake-in-a-crock-pot/feed/ Chicken and Artichokes in a Crockpot http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/chicken-and-artichokes-in-a-crockpot/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/chicken-and-artichokes-in-a-crockpot/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:50:54 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1443

I really really wanted to add cheese to this delicious dish, but I resisted the urge because the original recipe from CrockTease, lamented the common American tendency to “strangle” artichokes in cheese and butter. Not wanting to be an ugly American, I abstained from my cheese urge and I am glad I did.

This is a simple straightforward pot roast - delicious, moist, and about as easy to prepare as falling off a chair. Did I mention it makes its own gravy? Just add a pot roast with some beef stock into a Crock-Pot and walk away for 8 hours. You can add various sliced vegetables for flavor [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/11/easy-slow-cooker-pot-roast/feed/ Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/10/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-bundt-cake/ http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/10/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-bundt-cake/#comments Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:03:00 +0000 Judy http://easyandtastyfood.com/?p=1624

Apparently pumpkin and chocolate have been carrying on for quite a while and I didn’t know about it. They make a great pair, and this cake offers a delicious combination of slightly spicy pumpkin with chips of chocolate interspersed throughout. It’s a simple bundt cake with no frosting, so the taste of the 2 main [...]]]> http://easyandtastyfood.com/2009/10/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-bundt-cake/feed/
