Vegetable Broth

Vegetable Broth by Frank Fariello

With the increased interest in vegetarian and vegan diets in recent times, you will find more and more recipes calling for vegetable broth instead of, or as alternative to, the more traditional meat broths. Vegetable broth can be used in all of the same ways as meat broths, although I find that it is particularly apt for making…

Lemon-butter Linguini with Peppery Shirmp

Lemon-butter Linguini with Peppery Shirmp by John Spottiswood

It always surprises me when black pepper is used in such quantity that it makes a dish truly spicy, since we so often use it as a mild addititve. That's the case with this dish. The black pepper generates a welcome heat which is cut nicely by the lemony pasta. You'll enjoy this one! Adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light.

Basil Dipping Oil

Basil Dipping Oil by Bob Vincent

This is an easy and quick dipping oil. It is a nice dipping oil for freshly baked breads. I did not add salt, pepper or other ingredients that may seem appropriate. The oil is basically pesto sauce without, pine nuts, cheese and garlic. It makes a great base for a tasty bruschetta with tomatos and mozzarella when tomatos are at…

Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes

Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie

Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way. Remember: Never store your fresh tomatoes in the refrigerator, the cold ruins their taste and texture. Keep them right on the counter so they'll be sweeter and juicier.

Ham, Green Beans and Potatoes

Ham, Green Beans and Potatoes by Denise Sherin

Another simple and hearty Amish dish. My grandfather made this after we had a big ham dinner using the leftover ham, he called it "slop" but it was a favorite. If you are using leftover cooked ham reduce cooking time to about and hour or so then finish with vegetables for additional half hour

Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta

Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta by John Spottiswood

This is another excellent dish that takes advantage of delicious and healthy greens. This is a Sicilian dish that I absolutely love. Our kids all went back for seconds. It's also quite beautiful...the lousy picture I took does not do it justice. A healthy and yummy treat! This is also adapted from Red White and Greens by Faith…

Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer

Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer by John Spottiswood

This is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from Marcella Hazen. She recommends serving this at room temperature, but I've had a similar broccoli appetizer at a great local Italian restaurant and they chill it, so I thought I would too. I think it would be great either way. If it's hot out, and a chilled appetizer would be nice, then…

German Spaetzle

German Spaetzle by Foodiewife

Spaetzle (SPETZ-LAY) is a traditional, and very popular German noodle. It's excellent to use in place of egg noodles. In Bavaria, where my family comes from, we serve this with a generous healping of Austrian Goulash or as a side dish with Schnitzel (breaded cutlets). Please click on my URL link to see how I make this on my blog, "A…
