Pickled Beets I (fresh cooked, with a sugar-free & salt-free option)

Pickled Beets I (fresh cooked, with a sugar-free & salt-free option) by Salad Foodie

OMGosh - these were a hit the first time I made them for a dinner party. They can stand alone as a side to the meal, or be chilled and served as a garnish with a fresh tossed salad. Those with special diets will appreciate the sugar-free, salt-free…

Scalloped Potatoes ~ Microwave Quick!

Scalloped Potatoes ~ Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie

Scalloped potatoes cooked in 12 minutes? Compare that to the hour-and-a-half baking time most scalloped potato recipes require, and this recipe may become a year round “fav” for you since the microwave keeps your kitchen cool. Another appeal is the unusual and subtle flavor Swiss cheese gives to this dish. The recipe is based on one…

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Apples in Honey-Bourbon Sauce

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Apples in Honey-Bourbon Sauce by Amos Miller

I am always looking for new ways to present the omnipresent sweet potato. This recipe is pure Southland, with it praliney, bourbon-touched, subtly-spiced luciousness. There is a good amount of prep time for this, but do not be frightened away - you can get the sweet potato/apple part rolling a day before you need to serve it.…

Turkey Stuffing or Side: Brown & Wild Rice w/Apples, Cranberries & Pecans by Salad Foodie

In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries

In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries by Salad Foodie

I serve turkey year round but forget to keep canned cranberry sauce on hand; even when I do it's hard to use up the whole can because not everone eats it. Recently the craving for cranberries with roast turkey breast was too strong. I grabbed the Craisin bag from the pantry and experimented making a small amount of cranberry sauce.…

Chili Sauce

Chili Sauce by Salad Foodie

Chili sauce is one answer to that bumper tomato harvest. The perky piquant sauce can compliment many classic recipes like meatballs, meatloaf, cutlets, chops, tenders, eggs, potatoes, etc. This recipe is from Ball Blue Book of Canning (2010) and is what I’d deem a standard chili sauce for a wide variety of family uses. It is not…

Meyer Lemon Honey Vanilla Marmalade

Meyer Lemon Honey Vanilla Marmalade by Amos Miller

If you llike a real marmalade, you will love this fragrantly sensual, sweet, yet tart, pure fruit product on a toasted and buttered English muffin, or as a glaze on a roast bird - cornish, rock, or squab - even chicken! I have broken my recipe down to a basic, low investment, high return process. A minimum of prep time and slow…
