CORNED BEEF and CABBAGE RECIPES: St. Patrick's Day Irish Boiled Dinner, Food Network Videos

Wondering what the Irish eat for St. Patrick's Day? My favorite recipes are for Irish Soda Bread, Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake and Corned Beef and Cabbage. But anyone that wants to be Irish for the day is either buying corned beef brisket, making it, ordering it, and eventually eating corned beef and cabbage on March 17th!

The grocery stores usually have corned beef brisket on sale around St Patrick's Day, and along with potatoes, cabbage, onions and carrots, it makes a real cheap meal. I use the pressure cooker for my corned beef and cabbage dinner because it's quick and easy. But you can also bake it, slow cook it in a crock pot, or slow roast it.

St. Patrick's Day isn't all about corned beef and cabbage though. There's a whole list of yummy Irish recipes that go along with the entree! Irish Soda Bread, Bailey's Irish Cream, Irish Cream Mousse Pie and Irish Cream Cheesecake and lots more! Here are some of my favorite Irish recipes and videos. Enjoy, and Happy St. Patrick's Day 2012!

BASIC WHITE BREAD LOAVES RECIPE: TWD Baking with Julia — Julia Child That is!

This easy WHITE BREAD RECIPE comes from the cookbook "Baking with Julia" (Child) by Dorie Greenspan, and is the very first Tuesday's with Dorie recipe... the second edition!

Some of you may remember me baking along with this group a few years ago way back in March 2008. WOW! Has it really been that long? I had to take some time out to write a cookbook for Penguin Publishing—an Idiot's Guide at that! (Yes, I know. It was a shamelss plug!)

I figured I was ready to get back to baking with the Tuesday's with Dorie group again, until I found out they were done with the book "Baking: From My Home to Yours." They spent the last 4 years baking through that cookbook!

That's OK though. They were starting up a brand new group baking out of the new cookbook, "Baking with Julia." If you don't already have the cookbook, I strongly urge you to buy one for yourself. It's a huge, heavy, and pricey hardcover cookbook, but totally worth it! See all the TWD recipes I made in the past here.

White Rolls and Nutella Buns

Since I didn't need two large loaves of bread right now, I decided to make nice soft white rolls out of the dough instead of big loaves this time around. This worked out perfectly as I made them on Super Bowl Sunday and we used them for little sandwiches. Check out the Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Sticky Buns we made with the other half of the dough!

OK, I should confess here. John helped me make the dough. We have a shiny new KitchenAid mixer, and he wanted to be the first one to try it out by making bread dough. Besides our son John, BIG John has always been the best bread maker in the family, so I let him have his fun! I should also tell you something else while I'm at it. I'm using my cell phone camera for these shots. I apologize for the way they came out. Although I've had the phone since August, I'm still getting used to the camera. I should go back to taking photos with my good camera! Anyhoo...

The dough came together nicely, rose nicely, and baked nicely. John was totally impressed with his buns! The finished rolls were soft and tasted good, and although I'd rather have a little more taste, I think it's a good choice for an everyday bread. (I might add a pinch more salt the next time.)

Thanks to Laurie and Jules for hosting the first TWD: Baking with Julia recipe! Because Dorie would never sell any cookbooks if we ALL posted the recipe each time, the honor of posting that week's recipe will fall to the host. You can find the recipe on Jules' blog, Someone's in the Kitchen.

WORLD NUTELLA DAY 2012: Chocolate Hazelnut Sticky Buns Recipe

Celebrate World Nutella Day with Nutella Chocolate Fudge Brownies, Nutella S'mores, Nutella Hot Fudge Pudding Cake, and Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Sticky Buns—my latest concoction!

World Nutella Day 2012 fell on Super Bowl Sunday, February 5th. Since I wasn't able to participate last year, I decided to try and whip something up this time. The timing couldn't have been better as it also fell on the day I was baking the first recipe with  Tuesday's with Dorie, so I was in the baking mode! The cookbook the group is using for the first recipe is "Baking with Julia" by Dorie Greenspan, but that's another story coming tomorrow!

 What is World Nutella Day?

World Nutella Day is a day set aside every year to celebrate and enjoy eating Nutella. You know the stuff! The silky smooth and sinfully sweet chocolate hazelnut spread that's a narcotic to some people—something that can't be stopped!

According to NutellaDay.com, "World Nutella Day was created in 2007 when Sara Rosso, an American blogger living in Italy, thought that there were many days in the year but no day set aside to appreciate Nutella." Sara then recruited a few friends to join in the fun, and Nutella Day was born.

This is from their site, "Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso solemnly declare Sunday, February 5th “World Nutella Day 2012? – a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella."

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Sticky Buns Recipe

I used the remaining dough for White Loaves (page 81-82) in the Tuesday's with Dorie recipe yesterday. They came out very good for an everyday sweet treat. I would definitely use the dough again for these Nutella Sticky Buns, although I would rather use my own sweet dough for these delicious gems.

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Sticky Buns Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 Tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup pure Vermont syrup
• 1 Tablespoon liquid or granular soy lecithin, optional
• 1 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons vital wheat gluten
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 Tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup Nutella
  

Directions:

Using the ingredients listed above, continue to follow the directions for my Maple Cinnamon Rolls: Soft Homemade Sticky Buns with Icing on Suite101. Unfortunately, Suite's one year copyright prevents me from including the entire recipe right now.

Leave out the cinnamon in the Suite101 recipe and also in the Sticky Goo ingredients... unless of course you love cinnamon, in which case you should definitely try it! Follow the rest of the directions and you'll have about 10-12 of the best and sweetest Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Sticky Buns ever!

BEST GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE: Easy Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipe

Thanksgiving Recipe: Classic Green Bean Casserole for holiday menus. Made with French's French Fried Onions and Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, this is the casserole your Mom used to make for a Thanksgiving side dish alongside the Sweet Potato Casserole and Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce. With holiday side dishes like these, you can forget the roast turkey and sausage stuffing!

Green Bean Casserole Recipe

• 2 cans (14 ounce) French cut green beans, drained (frozen cut grean beans can also be used)
• 1 can (10.75 ounce) condensed Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 cup sour cream

• 1/3 cup shredded cheese blend (mild cheddar, Monteray Jack and low moisture mozzarella cheese are good choices)

How To Make Green Bean Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large 9 X 13 inch rectangular, or similar size round or oval baking dish with vegetable spray (Pyrex or Pampered Chef stoneware is good).
2. In a large bowl with a rubber spatula, mix green beans, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk and Worcestershire sauce together. Fold in 3/4 cup of French's French Fried Onions, and pour into the prepared pan.
3. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, remove from oven, and sprinkle the remaining French's Onions and cheese evenly on top.

4. Serves 10-12. This Green Bean Casserole recipe can be divided in half and baked in an 8 X 8 inch pan to serve 6. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Make this easy holiday casserole even tastier by adding cooked bacon, mushrooms and red peppers. Simply cook 4-6 ounces of bacon in a small frying pan, remove and set aside, reserving 2 Tablespoons bacon fat. Slice 4-6 white button mushrooms and dice 1/2 red pepper, and saute in the reserved bacon fat until tender. Mix in and continue with the recipe as directed.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE RECIPE with Molasses Cookie Crust: A Thanksgiving Favorite

The holidays are right around the corner, and this decadently rich Pumpkin Cheesecake will make a perfect addition to any Thanksgiving or Christmas buffet table. Not surprising, Pumpkin Cheesecake is one of the most requested Thanksgiving desserts.

This Pumpkin Cheesecake is m and is very similar to Junior's Pumpkin Mousse Cheesecake recipe. It has a sour cream topping that makes the cheesecake irresistible, but you can leave it off if you wish. You've probably been the victim of cracked cheesecakes or overbaked and dry cheesecakes once or twice in your baking life. Make sure to read "How to Make the Perfect Cheesecake" before turning your oven on!

Ingredients: Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe with a Molasses Cookie Crust

• 1/4 recipe of Soft Molasses Cookie dough
  
• 1 pound 8 ounces (three 8 ounces packages) cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
• 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk

Sour Cream Topping

• 1 pound (2 cups) sour cream
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

 

If you make the entire batch of Molasses Cookie Dough, you can scoop and bake the rest into the scrumptious Molasses Cookies you see below!

Directions: How to Make a Perfect Pumpkin Cheesecake

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Take a 9 inch springform pan apart, line the bottom plate with aluminum foil, then reassemble the pan. Pull the excess foil up and around the pan to prevent any batter from leaking into the oven. Spray sides and bottom with vegetable spray.
3. Make 1/4 batch of Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe. Or better yet, make the whole batch and bake cookies with the rest of the dough!
4. Pat the molasses cookie dough on the bottom only of the springform pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes for a soft cookie crust. Bake a few minutes longer for a crispier gingersnap crust. Remove from oven, set aside, and let cool while making the cheesecake batter.
5. Leave oven on 350 degrees. Place a pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven and close the door.
6. In a mixing bowl on medium speed, beat cream cheese until smooth ~ about 3 minutes. Scrape down sides half way through.
7. Add sugars and cornstarch and beat again, scraping a few times. The mixture should be smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat until creamy.
8. Fold the pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg into the mixture and beat again.
9. Slowly add the evaporated milk and beat only enough so there are no lumps and the filling is nice and fluffy. Scrape as needed.
10. Pour batter into prepared pan on top of previously baked molasses cookie crust, and bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
11. About 15 minutes before the pumpkin cheesecake is done, mix all sour cream topping ingredients (see below) until smooth and sugar is dissolved.
12. When cheesecake comes out of the oven, carefully pour sour cream batter on top of cheesecake. Immediately return cheesecake to oven, and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until set.
13. See the link above for further baking, cooling, serving and freezing instructions.
14. Makes one 9 inch cheesecake. Serves 14. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers.
