Raw Vegetable Salad for a CrowdLike many of my recipes, this one has been hanging around since the '70's, and it is always a huge hit. I have never tried to alter it in any way, as I've never felt it needed it; but if anyone has any suggestions, fire away! It takes a bit of planning, as it needs to marinate overnight, but it's well worth it. Because it makes such… |

Asian-style Deep Fried Chicken WingsI have been making this version of chicken wings for years now, and they are always a hit. This is just the basic marinade recipe, so depending on my mood, I spice them up some with extra Sriracha sauce, maybe some garlic. Do what makes you happy, but enjoy and have fun with it. *P.S. this will likely destroy your deep-fry oil, so… |

Pork and Shrimp Pot StickersThis is my version of a really delicious fried dumpling. I have found many recipes for pot stickers over the years, and it seems that no two are alike. I have made adaptations according to what I have on hand and what I like. Also, I use my handy dandy dumpling folder-upper-thingy that I have pictured here. It cost me 50 cents at a… |

Cayenne Toasts*These are a savory crostini, that go well with so many things. They can be served with soup, salads, or my personal favorite, the Sun-Dried Tomato Spread found here in my recipe collection. They are a perfect way to use up leftover French bread or baguettes, and are highly addictive! *Adapted from Terry Thompson's "Cajun-Creole… |

Sauerkraut SaladHonestly, when a friend told me he had found this recipe in an old cookbook, I was a bit skeptical. He was bound and determined to make it, in spite of my turned-up nose, so I put my best manners forward and tasted it. It was delicious, and helped greatly to wash down the crow I was forced to eat! |

Blue Cheese Dressing--Craig Claiborne's slightly adaptedI love this recipe. It is great as is to dip Buffalo Wings in, or thin it out a bit to make a nice dressing for salads. |

Russian PastiesSavory spiced ground meat nestled in fresh bread dough. I double or even triple this, then freeze to reheat later for a quick snack. You can really use just about any type of bread recipe for this, and the filling is only a suggestion. You can use just about anything, as long as it isn't too moist. Cheddar cheese, while delicious,… |

Blackberry VinegarI have been making this vinegar for years, and it can be used in such a variety of ways, that I really cannot imagine my pantry being without it. I use it as a salad dressing, with chicken, turkey, and fish dishes. You do not have to use blackberries, as raspberries work well in this too. I imagine that strawberries would be a… |

Ham (or Bacon) and Bean Chowder.My version of this hearty, soup, loaded with navy beans and vegetables. I like plenty of stock to boil the beans in, so they don't scorch so easily, and the stock generally reduces with the brisk simmering. I make a roux to thicken the chowder a bit, but you can certainly skip this step if you prefer, just start with less stock.… |

Baked BeansI found this recipe in an old recipe book from the 1940's when I was a young bride in the early 1970's. At the time, I thought, "wow this is ancient"! lol. Well, after my disastrous first meatloaf (came out the size of a hockey puck lol), I forged ahead and gave this a try. How brave, but I finally succeeded! This has never failed… |

Date Drop CookiesThese cookies are the very first my mom taught me to bake, when I was 8 years old. They were my favorite cookies then, and they still are today. I just love the soft, chewy goodness of them! |

Seriously Easy Lasagne with SpinachI was given a version of this recipe years ago, but it called for the use of commercial pasta sauce, which I don't usually care for. I have jars of homemade bolognese sauce that I prefer, but use whatever kind of sauce you like, and remember, this is supposed to be EASY on the cook. By using raw lasagne noodles, this comes together so… |

Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom and Apple StuffingThis is a fabulous recipe that I adapted from the Canadian Living Magazine's October 2000 edition. I have made it often, and it always turns out beautifully, and offers the cook lots of great ideas for presentation. I have used this stuffing in thick-cut pork chops, as well as a plain old boneless roast. |

Roasted Garlic SoupI am not sure where this recipe came from before my uncle shared it with me...most likely some magazine or newspaper article. It is delicious and is lovely served in small amounts as an elegant first course, as it is very rich. I have served this with some grated Gruyere cheese on top, and it was wonderful too. |
