Chicken Cordon Bleu - Schnitzel Style!

Chicken Cordon Bleu - Schnitzel Style! by Salad Foodie

I fell in love with veal cordon bleu prepared schnitzel style in restaurants while living in Germany in the late 60's. But stateside, veal was hard to come by when I first began to replicate the recipe, so I subbed chicken breast. I have come fairly close to the 'authentic' versions my memories provide of this delicious main dish. I…

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…

German Meatballs and Sauerkraut

German Meatballs and Sauerkraut by Salad Foodie

I have never thought to serve meatballs on sauerkraut until I tasted this. Wow, forget about meatballs and spaghetti ~ this is delish! Perfect for anytime, and especially for Octoberfest. To serve several guests, I made the meatballs, cooked them and refrigerated a day ahead. About an hour before serving time, I spooned the…

Chicken With Three Peppers Skillet Meal

Chicken With Three Peppers Skillet Meal by Salad Foodie

Tri-colored bell peppers are the showy appeal in this fast-to-fix skillet chicken entrée. Add a side of brown or white rice and fresh green salad and it's a healthy weeknight comfort meal. This is based on my recollections of a recipe I tried several years ago but couldn't locate - it comes fairly close and we liked this version a…

Salmon Patties Like Mom’s - well sorta!

Salmon Patties Like Mom’s - well sorta! by Salad Foodie

My siblings and I just loved salmon patties in the “good old days.” Mom was in the workforce so the pantry was always stocked with canned salmon for this quick-to-fix meal. There were five of us, and the recipe using one can (then 16 ounces) made 5 patties. This version is close to Mom’s, but overtime I tweaked it to my liking. It’s…

Sunday Brunch Frittata

Sunday Brunch Frittata by Salad Foodie

I worked many years (in my prime!) at a mountain lodge that served a popular Sunday brunch, and the main attraction was a cooked-to-order frittata. There’s no particular measurements because remember, this is prepared to order. Do you want one egg, two or three? Do you want a sprinkle of cheese or a healthy hand of it? No onions - no…

Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

This tops my favorites of ways to prepare Tilapia. The recipe was one of the winners a few years ago in a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation. Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this snappy Spanish entree. (See "Useful Links" below for…

Porkchops with Brown Rice and Mozzarella

Porkchops with Brown Rice and Mozzarella by Salad Foodie

Resurrecting gastronomic memories of long ago, I created this take on an all-in-one-dish my aunt used to make. She used CANNED Spanish rice, which I don't think is available anymore. For my interpretation I prepared Spanish rice using brown rice (browning the raw rice with onions and garlic in EVOO and simmering with water, spices and…

Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros by Salad Foodie

Any excuse to eat Mexican for breakfast works for me, and this version of Huevos Rancheros is as crunchy and delicious as it is colorful. Tortilla chips replace traditional tortillas for the base, topped with black beans, egg, salsa, avocado and cheddar cheese. Now this dish will get the sleepy-heads to the table fast!

Turkey Apple Patties

Turkey Apple Patties by Salad Foodie

These breakfast or brunch sausage patties are moist and savory. No need for beef or pork here, the turkey is ideal for lighter meals. The apple and onion give each bite a little crunch and add the moistness turkey by itself can lack. This makes twenty 2" patties, and at 2 or 3 per serving as a side, there's enough to serve with a…

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

Starting with a recipe that won a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation, I took the liberty to substitute chicken for the original recipe’s fish (see “Useful Links” below for the Tilapia version.) Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this…

Yogurt Pancakes with Blueberries

Yogurt Pancakes with Blueberries by Salad Foodie

Light 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.
