	Savory Meatloaf with Zucchini by Salad Foodie In planning a birthday dinner for a mutual friend, a fellow-foodie and I devised this juicy meatloaf with prominent herb flavors. We started with 3 different mostly lean ground meats we had on hand (a good quality turkey, deer meat and pork sausage - but you can use any combination you like.) We like the layers of flavor 3 different…	3 votes 15922 views
	Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie I haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen.	3 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 22431 views
	Crowd-wowing Flat Apple Pie! by Salad Foodie In my all time top FAVS of pie recipes, this pastry is like a Texas-size turnover! Baked in a jelly roll pan, it’s a cinch to transport to meetings or parties, and even easier to serve. Be forewarned that there are some extra steps to this colossal pie, but don't special occasions merit them? A great addition to holiday dessert…	3 votes 2 reviews 12102 views
	Beef Fajita Best Marinade by Amos Miller This is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This…	3 votes 2 reviews 7 comments 11496 views
	Chocolate Chip Date Nut Loaf by Salad Foodie In my upper tier of nut bread recipe FAVS, Chocolate Chip Date Nut Loaf is one I reserve for special occasions, usually during the Christmas season and wrapped as token gifts for others. Bake as large loaves to slice and share at holiday potlucks, or in mini-loaves or jumbo cupcakes for gifting. A distinct alternative to the typical…	3 votes 1 review 3650 views
	Weeknight Minestrone by Salad Foodie This is a speedy version of the classic Italian minestrone. The food processor does the chopping and bottled marinara saves additional time, without compromising flavorful results. Based on Laura Vitale’s recipe in her cookbook Laura In The Kitchen (2015).	3 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 4535 views
	Lemon Poppyseed Pound Cake by Rose Levy Beranbaum This cake not only has a silky-smooth dissolving texture similar to the famous Sara Lee pound cake but also the incomparable moist, buttery flavor of a home-baked cake. Its excellent keeping qualities make it ideal for slicing ahead and bringing on picnics.	3 votes 10145 views
	Guest post at Peasant Chef – Minestrone soup by Citronetvanille Dachary Carey of The Peasant Chef, asked me if I would be interested in a guest post discussing healthy food, organic and local raised products and why I decided to be a chef. I thought that Peasant Chef was really in line with my values and beliefs and without hesitation accepted the invitation. I wanted to feature a traditional and…	3 votes 2 reviews 2281 views

	Shrimp & Shell Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie A light summer luncheon salad with a yogurt dill dressing. Serve as the main attraction or as a side dish. Substitute light sour cream for the yogurt if you wish, and/or tuna or chicken for the shrimp.	3 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 6956 views
	Zucchini Chocolate Cake by Salad Foodie If there's a most-requested recipe for my year this would be it. Mini-chocolate chips and chopped pecans serve as the "frosting" for this cake. I like to make this a day or night ahead, because I like the mini-chips to harden but if you like them soft and a little gooey, serve the same day.	3 votes 2 reviews 6819 views
	Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way by Amos Miller I have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat. You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf…	3 votes 2 reviews 10 comments 35613 views
	Christmas Apple Salad by Salad Foodie Red and green color apples make a Christmas statement for this fresh, healthy and simple fruit salad. Select apples for the deepest color you can get, but not too tart, as there is no added sugar or sweetener in this recipe. Suggestions: Apples with predominant red and/or green skins might include: Red Delicious, Red Jonathan,…	3 votes 1 review 2 comments 11490 views
	Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option) by Salad Foodie Inspired by a recipe from New Paradigm Cooking (Sandbach, Terranova and Ware), I chose to forego the cookbook’s recommended 30 minutes simmering time in a stockpot, for a pressure cooker rendition which cut the cooking time to well under 10 minutes…	3 votes 1 review 7719 views
