ingredients
1    pound   boneless center loin chops, cut into 1/4-inch slices, trimmed
1    cup   white rice, or brown rice
7 - 8      seedless tangerines*, OR 3 navel oranges, divided*
3    tablespoons   soy sauce
1    tablespoon   honey
1    tablespoon   cornstarch
4    teaspoons   canola oil
1/2     large red onion, halved and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2    teaspoons   fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
directions
Prepare rice according to package directions. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve.
While rice is cooking, halve and squeeze 5 or 6 tangerines or 2 oranges to yield 23 cup of juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch. Set aside. Remove peel off remaining 2 tangerines or 1 orange. Cut half of peel into 1/4-inch strips (discard remaining peel). Set aside. Cut fruit into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, warm oil. Add fruit peel and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add pork and stir-fry until pork is cooked through and onion is crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add juice mixture and fruit and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 1 minute. Serve stir-fry over rice sprinkled with cilantro, if desired.
Note:
*You can also use 23 cup tangerine or orange juice, plus 2 tangerines or 1 orange. In that case, skip the step that instructs you to juice the fruit.

2 1/2   cups   diced cooked chicken, or turkey
1    cup   frozen peas, thawed
1/4   cup   reduced-fat sour cream
1/4   teaspoon   salt
    Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Biscuit topping
3/4   cup   whole-wheat pastry flour, (see Ingredient Note)
3/4   cup   all-purpose flour
2    teaspoons   sugar
1 1/4   teaspoons   baking powder
1/2   teaspoon   baking soda
1/2   teaspoon   salt
1    teaspoon   dried thyme
1 1/2   tablespoons   cold butter, cut into small pieces
1    cup   nonfat buttermilk, (see Tip)
1    tablespoon   canola oil
directions
To prepare filling: Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots; cook, stirring, until golden brown and tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until browned and their liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Return the onions and carrots to the pan. Add 2 cups broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with the remaining 1/2 cup broth; add to the pan and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Stir in chicken (or turkey), peas, sour cream, salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 2-quart baking dish.
To prepare biscuit topping & bake potpie: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and thyme in a large bowl. Using your fingertips or 2 knives, cut butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Add buttermilk and oil; stir until just combined. Drop the dough onto the filling in 6 even portions. Set the baking dish on a baking sheet.
Bake the potpie until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
Ingredient Note: Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Available in large supermarkets and in natural-foods stores. Store in the freezer.
Tip: No buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared according to package directions. Or make "sour milk": mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.

1 1/2   teaspoons   baking powder
1/4   teaspoon   baking soda
1/4   teaspoon   salt
    Creme fraiche or dairy sour cream
    Snipped fresh chives (optional)
directions
If husks have not been removed from corn, remove and discard. Use a vegetable brush to remove silks; rinse corn. Holding the ear at an angle, use a sharp knife to cut down across the tips of the kernels at two-thirds depth; do not scrape. Measure 2 cups fresh corn kernels.
In a very large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet; reserving bacon drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble finely; set aside.
Cook corn and onion in the reserved drippings over medium heat about 5 minutes or until corn and onion are tender. Cool slightly. Place half of the corn mixture (about 3/4 cup) in a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until nearly smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in buttermilk, egg and the 1 tablespoon chives.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add buttermilk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy). Stir in the remaining corn mixture and bacon. Let batter stand for 5 minutes.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy large skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across the surface. For each griddle cake, spoon about 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Spread batter, if necessary, into a circle about 3 inches in diameter. Cook about 2 minutes on each side, turning when griddle cakes are golden brown and edges are slightly dry.
Serve warm with creme fraiche or sour cream. If you like, sprinkle with additional chives. Makes 12 griddle cakes (6 side-dish servings).

ingredients
1    pound   peeled cooked shrimp, (see Ingredient Note), tails removed, diced
1    cup   frozen corn, thawed
2    4 ounce cans  chopped green chiles, (not drained)
2    cups   canned green enchilada sauce, or green salsa, divided
12      corn tortillas
1    15 ounce can  nonfat refried beans
1    cup   reduced-fat shredded cheese, such as Mexican-style cheese blend, Monterey Jack or Cheddar
1/2   cup   chopped fresh cilantro
1      lime, cut into wedges
directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine shrimp, corn, chiles and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce (or salsa) in a microwave-safe medium bowl. Cover and microwave on High until heated through, about 2 1/2 minutes.
Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce (or salsa) in the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of 6 overlapping tortillas. Spread refried beans evenly over the tortillas. Top the beans with the shrimp mixture, followed by the remaining 6 tortillas. Pour the remaining sauce (or salsa) over the tortillas. Cover with foil.
Bake the casserole until it begins to bubble on the sides, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil; sprinkle cheese on top. Continue baking until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
Ingredient note: Shrimp is usually sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, "21-25 count" means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as "large" or "extra large," are not standardized, so to be sure you're getting the size you want, order by the count (or number) per pound. Both wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp can damage the surrounding ecosystems when not managed properly. Fortunately, it is possible to buy shrimp that have been raised or caught with sound environmental practices. Look for fresh or frozen shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as Wild American Shrimp or Marine Stewardship Council. If you can't find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp from North America - it's more likely to be sustainably caught.
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare through Step 3, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Allow the cold baking dish to warm slightly before placing in a hot oven.

Rub oil over meat. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup spice mixture evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers. Make six 1x1/2-inch knife slits into the fat side (the slits allow the seasoning to penetrate into the meat).* Place meat, fat side up, in a large roasting pan. Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into center, being careful that it doesn't touch the bones.
Roast beef in a 350 degrees oven for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours for medium-rare (135 degrees ) or 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours for medium (150 degrees ).
Transfer meat to a cutting board. Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The temperature of the meat will rise 5 to 10 degrees during standing.)
Tip
*
At this point, you can cover the meat loosely with plastic wrap and chill up to 24 hours before roasting.

ingredients
1/3   cup   butter, cut into small pieces
3/4   cup   pecans, toasted*
1/4   cup   packed brown sugar
1 1/4   cups   all-purpose flour
1/2   teaspoon   salt
2      egg yolks
2    tablespoons   ice water
5      assorted firm-tart apples (such as Rome Beauty, Stayman Winesap, Granny Smith, Idared, Northern Spy), cored
3    tablespoons   butter
1/4   cup   granulated sugar
1/4   cup   boiled cider (see recipe http://www.midwestliving.com/recipe/boiled-cider/), applejack, apple brandy or dry sherry
2    tablespoons   lemon juice
1/3   cup   apple jelly
2    tablespoons   boiled cider (see recipe, http://www.midwestliving.com/recipe/boiled-cider/), applejack, apple brandy, dry sherry or Grand Marnier
1/2   cup   coarsely chopped pecans, toasted*
    Sweetened whipped cream
directions
For pastry: Freeze the 1/3 cup butter pieces on a small plate for at least 30 minutes. In a food processor, process the 3/4 cup pecans and brown sugar until nuts are very finely chopped. Add flour and salt; pulse about 10 times until mixture is combined. Add frozen butter; pulse about 30 times until pieces are pea size or smaller. Add egg yolks and ice water; pulse about 10 times or until the pastry just comes together, but is still crumbly looking with visible pebbles of butter.
Transfer dough to a large bowl. Gently knead just until a ball forms. Gently pat into a 6-inch disk. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 to 60 minutes or until dough is easy to handle.
Lightly butter an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough from center to edges into a 13-inch circle. Wrap pastry around the rolling pin. Unroll it into the prepared tart pan. Press into fluted sides of tart pan; trim edges. (If pastry breaks when it is transferred to the pan, press together to seal.) Using a fork, prick the bottom and side of the pastry shell, being especially sure to prick where bottom and sides meet. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
Bake in a 425 degrees F oven about 12 minutes or until pastry is golden. Remove from oven; cool in pan on a wire rack. Set aside.
For apple filling: Cut cored unpeeled apples crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rings.
In an extra-large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, melt the 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in granulated sugar, the 1/4 cup Boiled Cider and lemon juice. Add apple slices to the hot butter mixture. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 8 minutes or until apples are tender and most of the liquid is evaporated, gently rearranging apples and occasionally spooning butter mixture over apples during cooking. As apples become tender, carefully transfer apple slices with tongs or slotted spoon to the baked pastry shell, overlapping slices slightly. After all apples are removed, gently boil mixture in skillet until thick. Pour evenly over the apples.
In the same skillet, combine apple jelly and the 2 tablespoons Boiled Cider; melt jelly over low heat. Brush melted jelly mixture over apples. Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup pecans.
To serve, remove sides from tart pan. Serve warm or at room temperature with sweetened whipped cream, if you like. Cover and chill within 2 hours.
Tip
*TEST KITCHEN TIP: To toast pecans, spread nuts in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown, watching carefully and stirring once or twice.

3    cups   powdered sugar
2    tablespoons   milk
1    teaspoon   vanilla

Cream Cheese Frosting

2    3 ounce packages  cream cheese, softened
1/3   cup   butter, softened
1 1/2   teaspoons   vanilla
4 1/2 - 5    cups   powdered sugar

directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cloves. Stir in eggs, pumpkin, and oil until combined. Pour batter into an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan, spreading evenly.
In a small bowl stir together the pecans and caramel topping. Spoon nut mixture over batter in pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
Use only half of the Browned Butter Frosting recipe (chill or freeze the remaining frosting and use it to frost cupcakes). Stir enough milk into the frosting to make it a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled bars.
Browned Butter Frosting
In a small saucepan heat butter over low heat until melted. Continue heating until butter turns a light golden brown. Remove from heat. In a large bowl combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Add browned butter. Beat on medium speed until spreading consistency, adding additional milk if necessary.
Cream Cheese Frosting
In a large bowl combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar to make a frosting of spreading consistency.

Storage

To store, place bars in a single layer in an airtight container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

ingredients

1    12 - 14 pound   turkey
1/2   cup   packed fresh arugula leaves
2    tablespoons   snipped fresh basil
1 - 2    tablespoons   grated Romano cheese or Parmesan cheese
1    tablespoon   finely chopped toasted walnuts
1    tablespoon   olive oil
1      clove garlic
1/2   teaspoon   salt
1/4   teaspoon   black pepper

directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove neck and giblets from turkey; discard. Rinse body cavity of turkey; pat dry with paper towels.
To prepare rub, in a blender or food processor combine arugula, basil, cheese, walnuts, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and blend or process with several on/off turns until a paste forms, stopping several times to scrape the side of the blender or food processor.
To apply rub, slip your fingers between the skin and meat on the breast of the turkey to loosen skin. Lift skin and spread the rub under the skin from front to back of the turkey. If desired, rub any remaining mixture on the outside skin of the turkey or rub with vegetable oil. Skewer neck skin to back. Tie drumsticks together or to the tail with clean 100-percent-cotton kitchen string. Twist wing tips under back. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into the center of an inside thigh muscle. Thermometer should not touch bone. Cover turkey loosely with foil. Roast turkey for 2 1/2 hours. Remove foil; cut band of skin or kitchen string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Continue roasting for 30 to 75 minutes more or until the meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F and turkey is no longer pink (the juices should run clear and drumsticks should move easily in their sockets). Remove turkey from oven. Cover with foil; let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Transfer turkey to a cutting board. Carve turkey.

Sprinkle 1/3 cup flour over the vegetables; stir to coat. Add milk and sherry and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Stir in green beans and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in sour cream and buttermilk powder. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Whisk the remaining 1/3 cup flour, paprika, garlic powder and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Add sliced onion; toss to coat. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion along with any remaining flour mixture and cook, turning once or twice, until golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Spread the onion topping over the casserole.
Bake the casserole until bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
Ingredient notes:
Don't use the high-sodium "cooking sherry" sold in many supermarkets. Instead, purchase dry sherry sold with other fortified wines.
Look for buttermilk powder, such as Saco Buttermilk Blend, in the baking section or with the powdered milk in most supermarkets.
