Fresh, black truffle mushroom recipe ideas

www.enjoyfoiegras.com Recipe ideas for black truffle mushrooms/black winter truffles. Several cookbooks are shown with best truffle recipes for Perigord black truffles. Perigord black truffles from France are in season late November through mid March, and usually reach their peak of maturity in January and February.

How to Cook Soup, Vegetarian Style

Go to www.caryellis.com now for free recipes and free ebook on healthy lifestyle. Hi, Cary Ellis here, author of "Super Immunity Secrets." Many people wonder how to cook healthy soup. It's such a simple food when you think about it. Soup, historically, has been one of the key foods that nourished people, because the only cooking option they had was to put a pot over a fire. They would add a little bit of what they had available to eat, let it simmer together, and it would make a healthy nutritious broth that could actually feed many mouths. Hot soup is a really wonderful food for winter. Start out with a pot of water. You can sauté onions and garlic first in a little bit of olive oil, or just put them directly into the pot of water. Then add 1-3 teaspoons of favorite herbs (essential). Add a half cup of your favorite grain, such as barley, quinoa, rice or amaranth. Depending on the grain, it may take a half an hour up to a couple of hours to cook the soup. During the last 30-60 minutes of cooking chop any vegetables; add to the broth. Remember grain is going to swell by three or four times, so start with a small amount of grain; half to three-quarters cup is about right for a big pot of soup. Let the grain cook for whatever time is needed a half an hour for quinoa, about an hour for brown rice, and up to a couple of hours for barley. Each one is going to be a little bit different. Amaranth takes about an hour to cook and it's a very tiny grain which is a really nice ...

Betty's Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe. This is one of several versions of Macaroni and Cheese that you will find in bettyskitchen. This version is especially tasty, with the sauce made of cottage cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, eggs, and seasonings. It is my son-in-law's favorite of all of my Macaroni and Cheese recipes! Ingredients: 8-oz. package elbow macaroni, uncooked 2 cups cottage cheese (small curd) 8-oz. carton sour cream 1 egg, well beaten ½ to ¾ teaspoon salt (I used ¾ teaspoon salt in the video, and thought it would have been better with a little less.) dash of ground black pepper 2cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese cooking oil spray (for baking dish) paprika, optional (for topping) Cook 8-oz. macaroni, according to package instructions. (I added 1 teaspoon salt to the boiling water.) Drain macaroni when done. In the meantime, combine 2 cups cottage cheese, an 8-oz. carton sour cream, 1 well-beaten egg, ½ to ¾ teaspoon salt, a dash of black pepper, and 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Add cooked and drained macaroni to cheese sauce and stir mixture until well-combined. Spoon macaroni mixture into a 9-inch by 12-inch by 2-inch baking dish, which has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly and beginning to brown. Serve immediately! Yum! I hope you enjoy this recipe! --Betty 
