Four C Coleslaw

Four C Coleslaw by Salad Foodie

This is my version of a coleslaw I tasted many years ago at a catered event. It's close but not precisely the same. However it's a refreshing change from those familiar too-creamy coleslaws. The salad base is made up of 4 vegetables that start with the letter C, hence the recipe name. Cabbage, corn, cucumber, and cilantro team up…

Irish Spuds (St. Patrick's Day Cookie)

Irish Spuds (St. Patrick's Day Cookie) by Salad Foodie

Chocolate and chewy, Irish Spuds are a unique cookie for St. Patrick's Day. The stiff chocolate-oatmeal dough is rolled into short ropes that flatten as they bake into oblong shapes resembling potatoes. Don't mind what these little rolls look like before baking, but they are sure to make the kids laugh, or to gross them out, as the…

Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs by Salad Foodie

Years ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of…

Neapolitan Bundt Cake

Neapolitan Bundt Cake by Salad Foodie

I have seen this cake on the Internet using one white cake mix divided into 3 parts and using chocolate syrup, and either strawberry syrup or red food coloring for the 3 layers. However most reviews complained about the lack of flavors of the chocolate and strawberry layers. So my solution was to use 3 different cake mixes! I attend…

Apfelkuchen (German Apple Cake) with Almond Apple Cake Variation

Apfelkuchen (German Apple Cake) with Almond Apple Cake Variation by Salad Foodie

This recipe takes me back over 50 years when I lived in Germany. My landlady Mathilda would treat me to this pastry and one day I asked her for the recipe. She agreed to show me how to make it, if I taught her how to make American lemon meringue pie!…

Quick and Tasty Greek Cauliflower

Quick and Tasty Greek Cauliflower by Salad Foodie

There are times I've put the bulk of time preparing a middle east main dish and just need a quick side of vegetables. When cauliflower is on hand, I get the wok out and prepare this Greek flavored dish. I have tried my own mixtures of Greek seasonings (there's clone recipes out there) but when the commercial seasoning's handy, why not…

Make-Ahead Chicken Burrito

Make-Ahead Chicken Burrito by Salad Foodie

Leftover chicken, beans and rice can be put to good use making burritos for tomorrow's lunch, or frozen for a quick meal later. The recipe below makes one burrito, but I like to make several from leftovers on hand, and freeze them for busy days. Use leftover refried beans spread on the tortilla, or if using whole black beans, fold…

Lime Gelatin with Pears and Cherries

Lime Gelatin with Pears and Cherries by Salad Foodie

My aunt made this gelatin frequently in winter especially during the holidays, and with its predominant green and red colors, it makes an appealing luncheon dessert. The recipe posted is as close as my memories allowed. However today with the variety of health issues guests may have, I frequently offer 2 versions, the one below and a…

Good Luck Black-Eyed Pea Crockpot Chili

Good Luck Black-Eyed Pea Crockpot Chili by Salad Foodie

Ensuring good luck for the New Year means including black-eyed peas on your menu. This chili makes for a hearty crockpot dish with "attitude" for New Year's Eve. I based it on a recipe from Phyllis Good's Fix-it and Forget It Christmas Cookbook, and liked the results so much I won't limit making this just at New Year's. Add corn…
