Carnival of the Recipes Number 2
One of the fun things about putting this Recipe Carnival together is that I get to look at blogs I have missed before, and I have discovered some very interesting people out there. So I try to be sure I link to the Main page of each blog as well as the recipes themselves. Do yourself a favor and check out not only the recipes, but the blogs themselves - I am amazed and pleased at the wide variety of bloggers who are submitting recipes to me - from one side of the political spectrum to the other. If you would like to submit a recipe, please do - you don't have to have your own blog to do so, I'll post it for you. Submissions need to be in by Thursday night at midnight and sent to recipes@thedonovan.com.
We have some great recipes this week.
Calliope, a non-blogger but frequent commenter, sent me recipes and pictures for an entire Tex Mex feast. There was so much, that I put it all in a separate post. She doesn't know it, but she is a guest blogger for that one!
Here's a recipe from There's One, Only! that is full of fun - Fruitcake - even if you don't think you will like it, you must read it!
Steve has a recipe for low fat Squash Chili that is not only delicious, but healthy.
Nathan of The Argus, has as incredible recipe for Georgian Cheese Bread, Khachapuri.. This is one I will most definitely try this weekend.
Goobage sends this scientific Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for the true nerds out there. Because he is on Blogger, you will have to scroll down to find the recipe.
Inside Allan's Mind sent this recipe for Skillet Penne with Vegetables.
John from TexasBestGrok has a recipe for Roast Lamb and Vegetables - I've always been afraid to try roast lamb, this recipe might convince me to attempt it.
Wow, Wacky Hermit of Organic Baby Farm has a way to make Five Dinners out of One Chicken - and even get baby food out of it! And, they all look good. I love this blog, it's full of wholesome goodness. Read it.
The Glittering Eye gives us the Ultimate Guide to Meatloaf and
The beautiful Venomous Kate, who is back after taking most of the summer off has a recipe for Hawaiian Potato Salad.
From Katespot - Chocolate Cake!
Tom from The Nap Room loves to make bread. He is sharing with us his Pizza Dough Recipe.
Tritcale (the wheat and rye guy) sends his wee wifey's award winning recipe for Black Walnut Baklava.
The Esmay Family has two recipes this week - one from Jake Esmay, a cool kid if I've ever met one - his lasagna recipe, and Rosemary, the beautiful and pregnant Queen of All Evil has submitted The Queen's Cheesecake recipe.
Here is a Crunchy Tossed Salad from Angela of Fresh as a Daisy. It sounds like such a nice dish for a hot day (it's supposed to be in the high 90's today here in Kansas).
From Punctilius, an Italian Seafood Stew.
Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice is a good cook. You can trust that her recipes are excellent. Here is a recipe for her Steak with Garlic Blue Cheese Butter.
From Kin's Kouch, a recipe that I will most definitely try soon - Kin's Easy as Pie Chicken Pie.
BeeBee, who has a blog full of goodness that is a joy to read, is also a great cook. This week, she shares her recipe for Cornbread Casserole.
My husband, John of Arrggghhh! submits this recipe - he has made this for us and it is excellent -Emeril's remoulade recipe.
As we know, great with burgers.
Creole Remoulade Sauce:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped yellow onions
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons Creole or other whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a blender or food processor, combine all
ingredients and process until fairly smooth, about 30
seconds.Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for
at least 1 hour before using. (The sauce will keep for
up to 1 week in the refrigerator - but it won't last that long, it's so good.)
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I missed Tammi's recipe, she got it in on time, I'm a dolt - Fruit Cocktail Cake.
I claim old age.
Semi-important update - here are some great bread machine recipes from this blog is full of crap. Trust me, the recipes are not full of crap.
Last Update (at least I think so!) - King of Fools was a bad boy and was late sending me his recipe. But here it is because I'm really a nice person. Chicken Cordon Bleu!
Okay, really - this is the very last update: Stuffed Pork Roast and other garlic goodies(lotsa garlic, yummmy) from Mostly Cajun
Here is a list of All the Carnivals of the Recipes!

What about drink recipes? Last night I made a kind of osso-bucco chicken with olives and capers and tomatos - my wife works and so I "Chef," while I'm looking for work. Friday nights are mai-tai nights.

My my. "Steak with Garlic Blue Cheese Butter"? I'm always looking for something new to do for a steak sauce. That looks good.
