New England Scalloped Potatoes I need some help locating a recipe called, New England Scalloped Potatoes. I have found many recipes on the net that have the same name, but haven't found the correct one. I have only had ONE bite of this dish. It tasted as though it was a baked potato, scooped out, and mashed with only sour cream. The person that made it didn't offer the recipe. Thanks!

Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With the processor or blender running, drop the garlic cloves into the machine and process until finely chopped. Add the parsley, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, basil and salt; blend or process until the parsley and walnuts are finely chopped. With the blender or food processor running, gradually add the oil; blend or process until the mixture is smooth, scraping down sides if necessary. With a serrated knife, cut the bread in half horizontally. Spread the garlic-parsley mixture over the cut sides of the bread. Wrap each half loosely in aluminum foil. Bake the bread until heated through, about 15 minutes. Unwrap the top of the bread and heat about 3 minutes longer. Cut each half into 2-inches slices. Serve warm.

Rate It: When I make pastry crust for quiches, I use an egg yolk in the recipe. I store the unwanted egg white in the freezer and when I have six egg whites, I make Lemon Friands. The egg whites never seem to deteriorate and whip up beautifully. Ingredients
Directions Preheat oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F). Grease 10 friand tins or muffin tins. Place butter, almond meal, lemon rind, sifted icing sugar and flour together in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. In a separate bowl lightly whip egg whites until frothy. Fold egg whites into almond meal mixture until just combined. Do not over mix. Spoon into prepared tins and place on baking tray. Bake at 200 deg C for 20 to 25 minutes or until skewer comes out clean when tested. Remove from oven and allow to stand for five minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. When cool dust with the extra icing sugar and sprinkle a little shredded lemon rind over top to decorate. Source: The tip about the egg whites I worked out for myself over years. The recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens, a magazine printed in Australia. Don't know if it's available in the US. I never saw it when visited but it could be there. It's good value. If I am fortunate enough to win, please donate any winnings to one of your children's hospitals.

Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Add in half of the flour and toss the beef to coat. In a Dutch oven or flameproof casserole dish, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides. Add the chopped onion; cook, stirring for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and the remaining flour; mix well. Stir in the broth, wine, bay leaf and thyme; bring to a boil. Cover the dish; transfer to oven. Bake 1 hour. Remove the dish from oven; add the carrots. Return to oven and bake for 35 minutes longer. Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and pearl onions; cook, stirring until onions begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven. Add the mushrooms and onions to the stew. Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve. Tip: to make cutting meat easier and even cubes, slightly freeze meat. If steak is already frozen, cut it before completely thawed. By Connie from Cotter, AR Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf77978592.tip.html
