SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook
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

Caramelized Onions
I'd put this under sides or Vegetarian stuff...I guess it depends on what you want to do. I just figured it'd be helpful because I never knew how to make these until recently and now I do it all the time!
Slice Onion into long relatively thin (but not too thin) strips. Put all ingredients in a pot. More sugar, olive oil, and/or vinegar may be needed depending on how big or how many onions you cook. Cook on high for 5 minutes (just until the onions start to look opaque like they're a little cooked) then look on low until they're looking brown and thin. Stir often.
*Tip- Turn the stove on the lowest setting and just forget about them. They take like 45 minutes to cook,.

Buffalo Chicken Bites 5 Points Per Serving
This is an easy to make dish - perfect for a buffet - has all the flavor of Buffalo Chicken wings without all the added calories and fat. For extra heat add more hot pepper sauce and a pinch or two of cayenne.
1/4 cup of Louisana-style hot sauce 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (tabasco) 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce 2 Tablespoons butter 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts , cut into 1-inch chunks 2 carrots, cut into sticks 3 celery stalks , cut into sticks 1/2 cup fat free blue cheese dressing
Combine the hot sauce, pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add 5 teaspoons of the butter stirring until melted. Melt the remaining 1 teaspoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over meduim-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until well browned 8-10 minutes. Add the pepper sauce mixture and cook for about 1 minute longer, tossing the chicken to coat. Serve with the celery, carrots and blue cheese dressing.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken pieces and tomatoes in baking dish. Pour chicken broth and balsamic vinegar over chicken. Sprinkle basil over the top.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Hey everyone, bumping this. We could use soup recipes if anyone has good ones. We are in really good shape otherwise and the book is really big, but there is still time to be a part of it.

I made this recently and if you dont like sauasge you can swap it out for whatever meat or poutly you like and it should still taste great!!!
Italian Sausage Soup with Tortellini
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed or any other meat 1 cup chopped onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 5 cups beef broth 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup red wine 1 can of diced tomatoes 1 cup thinly sliced carrots 1/2 tablespoon packed fresh basil leaves or dry basil 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce 1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini 8 ounces fresh tortellini pasta 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dry parsely
Brown the sausage. Remove, drain and reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings.
Saute onions and garlic in drippings. Stir in beef broth, water, wine, tomatoes, carrots, basil, oregano, tomato sauce, and sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Skim fat from the soup. Stir in zucchini and parsley. Simmer covered for 30 minutes. Add tortellini during the last 10 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
You don't have to use beef broth. You can use chicken broth or even water. Also if you dont like the veggies you can swap them for any other type like frozen corn or green beans.

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.
Buffalo Chicken Dip Take a rotisserie chicken and pull off every bit of meat you can -- cut it all up into small pieces. 2 blocks of cream cheese 1 cup chunky blue cheese dressing 1 cup Frank's hot sauce Shredded cheddar cheese
Put the cream cheese in a frying pan to melt - keep stirring. Add chicken until mixed thoroughly Add dressing and hot sauce
Place the mixture into a small casserole or baking dish -- top with the shredded cheddar. Let melt. Ready to serve. If the cheese does not melt right away you can always throw it in the oven so it melts to your liking.
