Original post by MLAngelo
Submissions are now closed for the Newlywed Cookbook. I will be working over the next month to assemble the book. We have some wonderful recipes and I can't wait to see it all put together.
Book Contributors:Thank you for contributing to the book. You may receive an FM with a pdf file of a page from the book. This page (or pages) will contain your recipe(s). Please proof them and make sure that in the reformatting of the recipe I did not mess it up.
A special thank you to TomLaur0808 who has agreed to be the editor and proof the book.
While submissions are officially closed, I know what it is like to forget to post and want to be a part of the book. If you still want to post a recipe I will be happy to accept them until that section of the book has been roughed out. So far sections of the book that are finished include: Breakfast, Breads

Heres my linzer tart recipe that everyone loves
LINZER TARTS Ingredients 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened 2/3 cup white sugar 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups ground almonds 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 5 tablespoons raspberry seedless jam 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
Directions Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, the almonds and cinnamon, and continue beating until the mixture becomes a slightly stiff dough. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in wax paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about one hour. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the 1/2 of the dough into a sheet 1/8 inch thick. With a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter, cut as many circles from the sheet as you can. Knead the leftover scraps of dough into a ball and roll it out again into a 1/8 inch sheet. Cut out more circles. You should now have about 12 circles. Arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet leaving about and inch of space between them. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the other half of the dough, but before placing the second batch on the baking sheet, cut out the center of each circle with a 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Bake both batches for 10 - 15 minutes or until light brown. Cool on cake rake for 20 minutes. Spread tops of the solid circles with a thin coating of jam, lay a cutout cookie on top of each, pressing the two together so they make a sandwich. Spoon a dab of jam into the opening of each tart and sprinkle the tops with confectioners' sugar before serving. NOTE: Keep dough as cold as possible for easier handling. You may have to chill it after rolling it out so that it will be easier to cut. Also you can use any cookie cutter you want it doesnt have to be a circle. Sometimes I make them in the shape of christmas trees

Directions In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat a grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side. Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Season with 2 teaspoons cumin, paprika, and 3 teaspoons salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add grilled chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Simple, delicious flourless peanut butter cookies (with optional chocolate chips -- I use vegan ones to keep this dairy free).
Ingredients:
2 c. peanut butter 2 c. sugar (brown, white, or any combo) 2 eggs 2 tsps baking soda pinch salt 1 tsp vanilla extract chocolate chips (to taste)
(recipe can easily be halved!)
Prehead oven to 350. Stir peanut butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time (by hand is fine). Stir in baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Roll into 1' balls. Place on parchment-covered baking sheet. Press chips into balls if desired. Otherwise, press a fork into the tops of each cookie in a criss-cross shape. Bake 8 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing to cooling rack.

Does flourless mean they are gluten free? My friend is looking for gluten free recipes for Christmas (her sister found out she has the allergy) and I want to share your recipes with her if they are.

We could use some vegetarian dishes and some pasta dishes. Or some fish dishes that does not include pasta. Appetizers are surprisingly low for such a popular category.
Also we only have two alcoholic drinks, one of which I am adding now.

An appetizer that is always a HUGE hit at all of our parties.
Zucchini & Cheese Crostini
2 zucchini grated 1 2/3 cups of Gruyere Cheese 1 small egg a dash of worcestershire sauce (or any really high quality smokey meat sauce, plain old BBQ won't do, needs to be really thick and smokey) a loaf of bread
Cook in a preheated broiler (or just turn the oven on really high and cook on the top shelf)
Put the grated zucchini in a clear dry kitchen towel and twist tightly, squeezing out all the excess juices. Put in with the rest of the ingredients. Slice up bread and spread on top. Then put on a cookie sheet until the tops get brown (watch very closely it will be different for every oven, mine is usually 5-10 minutes depending on how high I turn it).

Best Macaroni and Cheese (for Grown-Ups)
Can be optional vegetarian dish if you don't put the bacon in.
* 1 pound cavatappi or elbow macaroni * 1 quart milk * 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided * 1/2 cup all-purpose flour * 12 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (4 cups) (I usually only do 2 1/2 cups) * 8 ounces Smoked Gouda, grated (2 cups) (I usually grate the whole block of Smoked Gouda, sometimes it's a little bit more or a little bit less) * 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg * 1 1/2 cups fresh white or potato bread crumbs (4 slices) (this tastes horrible if it's any other bread) * Optional - 5 slices of bacon cut up in tiny pieces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain well.
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. In a large pot, melt 6 tablespoons of butter and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Still whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Add the Gruyere, Gouda, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and bacon and sauce into a big caserole dish and stir well.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (you may need another one, but 4 is usually too much), combine them with the fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

Does flourless mean they are gluten free? My friend is looking for gluten free recipes for Christmas (her sister found out she has the allergy) and I want to share your recipes with her if they are.
She just has to make sure the peanut butter is GF (it almost always is) and if so, then yes, this is a totally GF recipe.
