CORRECTION: I had mis-characterized Trudy’s contribution. Her Sweet Quickies is a method for setting up a make-it-yourself dessert bar.
This week’s Carnival of the Recipes has a whole passle of recipes from some of the best cooks in the blogosphere. Soup, salad, bread, fish, chicken, and lots, lots, more. This would also be a good time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and I’ve got a few tips about chestnuts for you.
For those of you who are new to The Glittering Eye, please prowl around. There’s stuff about politics, dogs, food, family, and whatever else interests me.
elgato of Swanky Conservative has contributed a pretty, well, swanky recipe for Swanky Fajitas.
Trudy of Food Basics has some Sweet Quickies for us. They’re not what you think—they’re dessert cake bars. Oh, that’s what you were thinking? Then they are what you think.
There’s a Chocolate Icing recipe from V of One Happy Dog Speaks.
bothenook of a geezer’s corner has a killer squash dish for us.
We’ve got a contributor from the Land of Oz! Amanda of Aussie Wife has a rather snazzy salad recipe for us—Snow Pea Salad with Hot Chilli Dressing. Welcome, Amanda!
Amy of Prochein Amy shows us how to make Lemon Broccoli Chicken.
Alpha Wolf of Laughing Wolf has a pair of fish recipes that I could really get into: Herb Poached Cod and Herb Poached Salmon. No word on how much Herb charges, however. 😉
ALa71 of Blond Sagacity has a recipe for Real & Easy Pot Pie that looks good enough to eat.
Cranberries are coming into the markets now as they get ready for Thanksgiving. Looking for something other than cranberry sauce to make with them? Try Cranberry Apple Pancakes from booklore.
Looking for a nice bread recipe? Wacky Hermit of Organic Baby Farm has a recipe for Herbed White/Wheat Bread for you.
Amish Friendship Bread sounds like just the thing from Mary Beth of Random thoughts from Mary Beth.
songstress7 of News from the Great Beyond has just the thing for the cold nights ahead: Potato Cheese Soup.
triticale has a recipe that takes me way back: Sweet Kraut aka Amish Sauerkraut Salad. It must be twenty years since I’ve had that. Now I’ve got a recipe.
sarahk of mountaineer musings tells us how to make the best guacamole not sold at Chipotle.
Brown Steak and Gravy is on the menu from Angela of Fresh as a Daisy.
Now I would probably serve a light red with this but Professor Bainbridge recommends Chardonnay with his .
Karen of Let’s Play Restaurant contributes Oven-Barbecued Chicken and Bean Casserole. This looks to me like a quick and very tasty down-home cassoulet.
There are lots of great recipes here. When you try them out, please report back so we know how things worked out.
UPDATE: And a late arrival from caltechgirl of Not Exactly Rocket Science we have Blasphemous NC barbecue (a.k.a. Crock-Pot Piggy).
Hey where’s my recipe?? I sent it in yesterday afternoon…. Did it not get there? Arrgh. It’s at:

Thanks, Dave!!! I think there’s a problem between Gmail and my netscape.net mail…. Sometimes it just doesn’t get there. But I appreciate the link 🙂
Cranberries… yum.
One of the greatest-hits at our wedding was the cranberry cookies.
Take your favorite chocolate-chip cooky recipe, and replace the toll-house chips with white chocolate.
Add a handful of fresh cranberries.
Add as much orange liqueur as you would vanilla.
Bake. Yum.
Looks like some yummy recipes to try again this week. I’d better start waiting until after the carnival is posted to go to the store. Good job. Thanks.
I made triticale’s Sweet Kraut recipe yesterday and served it for our dinner tonight along with some pork schnitzel and buttered steamed potatoes. I can report that it was delicious. The sweet-and-sour quality reminded me strongly of some of our family recipes from my Irish-French-German grandmother (who by all reports was an excellent cook). The one change that would make it more like our family recipes is to substitute celery seed for caraway. It’s an idiosyncracy of my family’s recipes.
I’ll duplicate this comment over at triticale’s place.
