Here are mine:

Excellent
Miso Walnut Sauce (Enchanted Broccoli Forest)
---This was so excellent. Next time I might make it with apple juice, because the mirin was a little alcohol-y. Served it over plain pasta and steamed broccoli rabe...YUM!
Steamed Salmon with Black Bean Sauce (CL 1/01)
---I can't say enough about this dish. See the reviews here
Egg Rolls (me)
---the surpirse hit of Thanksgiving. BF thought I was crazy for serving egg rolls as Thanksgiving appetizers, but I needed something that was easy to prepare and didn't require using the oven (because the turkey was in there!). I wanted to make spring rolls but could only find egg roll wrappers, so I improvised: I filled the wrappers with thinly sliced savoy cabbage, carrots, scallions, rice noodles, sauteed onions and garlic, and soy-sauce-marinated tofu, sealed the edges with egg wash, and fried in cooking spray. Virtually fat-free, and they all disappeared!
Cornbread Stuffing with Sausage (CI's Complete Book of Poultry)
---found the recipe on the BB, and it was oh so good! My new staple at the Thanksgiving table. I added dried cranberries.

Very Good
Hot and Sour Soup (Nigella Bites)
---tastes pretty much like the restaurant version, without all the fat.
Semolina Country Bread (The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook)
Herb Bread (The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook)
Oatmeal Toffee Cookies (marthastewart.com)
Rosemary and Lemon Pinto Beans
--these were a really easy dinner one night. I upped the Tabasco quite a bit. Very yummy. (Bon Appetit 7/98)
Sweet and Sour Crockpot Meatballs (CL BB)
--my other oven-free Thanksgiving appetizer, would have been the hit of the appetizers if it hadn't be so totally overshadowed by the egg rolls (can you tell I'm proud? ). This was the oft-mentioned chili-sauce and cranberry jelly recipe, and it was very good. Nothing fancy, but perfect finger food.

Good, but didn't stand out

Here are the Beef Triangles:

Beef Triangles with Chutney Sauce
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup mango chutney
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup dried currants
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
15 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
Butter-flavored vegetable cooking spray

Combine yogurt and mango chutney in a bowl; stir well, and set chutney sauce aside.

Cook meat and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain meat mixture in a colander; wipe drippings from skillet with a paper towel.

Return meat mixture to skillet. Add currants and next 6 ingredients (currants through black pepper); stir well. Combine water and cornstarch; stir well, and add to the meat mixture. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; set aside.

Working with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, cut each sheet lengthwise into 4 (3 1/2-inch-wide) strips; lightly coat strips with cooking spray (cover remaining phyllo dough to keep it from drying out). Stack 2 strips, and spoon about 1 tablespoon meat mixture onto one end of each stack. Fold the left bottom corner over mixture, forming a triangle; keep folding back and forth into a triangle to end of strip.

Place triangles, seam sides down, on a baking sheet; lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with chutney sauce.

Yield: 30 appetizers (serving size: 1 triangle and 1 1/2 teaspoons sauce)

Kristin--

Any chance I could get the Sausage Stew with Polenta recipe?

I tried a good number of new recipes in November, but I don't keep track unless they are absolute keepers. One standout success for the month was Apple Butter from Art Smith's Back to the Table. First time I've ever made it and wow is it yummy. Maybe I'll try keeping track this month!

[LonghornGal]

Here you go Erin. I used all-white-meat Chicken Sausage that I found at the grocery store (160 cal/4 oz). note that the nutrition info excludes the 1/4 cup olive oil. There's tons of sausage in each serving. The sausage mix would be great over pasta or rice as well as the polenta. I wish I had made more - it was so tasty!

Polenta with Sausage Stew

Recipe By c)2003 Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:10
Categories : Beef Main dish
Soup / Chili / Stew Tried it - great!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup olive oil -- I left out and used spray.
2 pounds chicken jalapeno sausage -- or any kind you like, sliced
1 large red onion -- skin removed and cut in 1/2 and cut into slices
3 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic -- skins removed, and roughly chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups crushed tomatoes -- in tomato puree
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
Polenta:
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 cups water

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the sausages and cook, piercing the sausages with a fork to release the fat. Cook until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully drain off the excess fat.

Add to the cooked sausages the remaining olive oil, onion, and bay leaves. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the white wine and continue cooking until reduced, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes, cover, and cook, stirring often, until thick, about 30 minutes. Make polenta in the meantime.

Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if the sauce starts to stick. Serve with polenta.

Polenta:
Line a large shallow dish, such as a pie plate, with a tea towel. Set aside.

In a medium pot place 4 cups of water and salt. In a slow steady stream, add the cornmeal, whisking until incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the polenta is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Pour the polenta onto the towel-lined dish.

Christine, I think this is from the Nov. '98 issue...I have it cut out and in a binder. It was a reader recipe, it is so easy and very good! Sometimes I change the beans around based on what I have. And sometimes we throw in corn.

Vegetarian Chili

I've made this chili so often I don't even use the recipe anymore. It used to call for ground turkey, but I left the meat out one time, and my sister and my parents didn't seem to mind. Even people who eat meat like it this way.

Laura Donovan, Horseheads, NY

Cooking spray
2 cups chopped red bell pepper
3/4 chopped green bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 (16oz) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15oz) can tomato sauce
1 (15oz) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

I did a lot of cooking this month, but didn't try that many new recipes. Here's the rundown.

Great! Will Make Again
Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding -- FoodTV.com (Paula Dean). This was an easy, very tasty dessert. The Chessmen make all the difference.
Red Roasted Chicken Weight Watchers TOT and BB. Excellent recipe! Added a lot of flavor to roast chicken.
Sesame Flank Steak -- BB Best flank steak marinade yet. Recipe is buried on the bb somewhere.
Chocolate-Topped PB Mousse Cake -- October BA/BB. Decadent. Gets lots of attention at parties.
Kentucky Bourbon Fruitcake Cookies -- All American Cookie Book, Nancy Baggett. Very yummy! Just don't double the candied cherries like I did -- makes them a bit too sweet.
Nabisco Famous Wafer Cake --Back of the Box or here Wow! This was good! Even with Fat Free Cool Whip, this easy dessert was much better than it sounded. I'm going to try making it again with various flavors of whipped cream. Another good thing about this recipe is you can make each cake as large or as small as you'd like. For instance, you can make a single serving "cake" with 5 wafers and a 1/2 cup of so of Cool Whip. I may try this with French Vanilla flavor.
Baked Garlic Cheese Grits -- CL May 2003. Didn't know I liked grits so much!

Good, But Probably Won't Make Again
Pork Loin With Corn Bread Stuffing -- October CL. Not bad, not great. I liked the idea of this, but the sum of it's parts was just not that great tasting.
Moomie's Chocolate Chip Cookies -- Good, but too many other recipes to try.

Horrible. Yuck
Nothing for November -- Didn't take too many risks
