RECIPE: "Barbecue Sauce" MarinadeThis marinade I concocted myself. It is great with chicken, beef or pork. It is not Barbecue sauce, but has that flavor profile in a marinade. What you can do is make the marinade the night before and put it in a ziploc bag with your meat, and let it sit overnight and throughout the next day. When you get home that day, put the meat… |

RECIPE: Mandarin Turkey SaladI am a sucker for oriental chicken salads. I love getting them at restaurants. I have finally found a way to make a really good one at home. The following recipe is flexible as far as your meat. I have tried it with chicken breasts or turkey breasts and used a store-bought Teriyaki marinade on them for the grill. After cooled, I cut… |

GARDENING: Time to wind downPeople often compliment me on my green thumb. But I can tell you that it is only through many mistakes (most of them costly) and learning from them that I have become a good gardener. This has never been more true than during fall clean-up time.

RECIPE: Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese FrostingThis cake is a beauty when it is finished. My sister and I have debated what exactly red velvet cake is-she thinks the name is deceiving and doesn't get the almost cult following for this cake. I love the contrast of the deep red color of the cake with the white of the frosting. I also love the buttery, velvet texture of this cake.… |

RECIPE: Baking Contest Apple Pie ContenderA contender-but alas, not a winner. A crumb topping apple pie was crowned the winner of my parish's apple pie contest. But I gave it a good college try with this recipe. I still had rave reviews (and was a top seller at the auction as well...go figure). SO, if you want a good, punchy, apple pie recipe this fall with a unique twist to… |

RECIPE:Garden Tomato SauceMy recipe uses an old fashioned Italian food mill to puree the tomatoes. You can also use a food processor or blender, then strain it through a fine sieve. I do urge you to get a food mill-it is so much easier to deal with than hauling out the big machinery. I found mine at a thrift store that looked like it was never… |
