Easy Go Poppy Seed Cake by J. Gino GenovesiSo many forget how good this cake is. It is easy to prepare and makes a great presentation. It is also great to dunk into coffee, wine etc. It is a cake that one can add any type of fruit, nuts or flavorings and it still is good.. However, this one is a very traditional cake. |

Gnocchi by J. Gino GenovesiIf you have never had gnocchi, you are in for a great dish. I refer to my dish as Gnocchi even though the dough contains no potatoes..

Zucchini Turkey Burgers by Kyra MartinWhen I've made turkey burgers in the past, they've always seemed to turn out dry. The zucchini adds tons of moisture without adding flavor. This is my new go-to way of making turkey burgers. If you don't like the flavors in the recipes, it's so easy to sub in you're own. I can't wait to experiment more!! |

Basil Chicken by Kyra MartinI used some wild rice I had to serve this chicken over, but you can use rice noodles or any type of rice you would like. And don't be afraid of the fish sauce!! You really do need it. It adds a depth of flavor that can't be found otherwise. |

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon) by Salad FoodieIt's hard to improve on an American classic, but I think this recipe based on Cooking Light Magazine (9/09) does just that. I stayed fairly close to its version and am glad I did. We loved the smoky flavor bacon imparts to cheesy pasta, and the extra zing from hot sauce. You will need a broiler-safe baking dish or pan for this. I used… |

Roasted Banana Bars with Browned Butter Pecan Frosting by Salad FoodieThis recipe was a finalist in Cooking Light Magazine's "Twenty-five Favorite Dessert Recipes" several years ago. The notion of roasting a banana intrigued me so I was up to the challenge of trying it out. MY VERDICT: THEY ARE VERY TASTY AND I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN. However, they are more cake-like than bar-like, and the extra steps,… |

Almond Biscotti by Salad FoodieCrunchy biscotti are my go-to coffee dunkers. The sweet toasts make a perfect hostess or holiday gift besides. This recipe features almonds but pecans or hazelnuts would be fine, with vanilla extract in place of almond. |

Yogurt Pancakes with Blueberries by Salad FoodieLight and sublime, these pancakes are perfect for summer’s bounty of blueberries. Whole wheat pastry flour is recommended and gives the most tender results, but all purpose flour works fine too. I used Greek plain yogurt but regular yogurt or sour cream can be subbed. |
