	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…	16 votes 5 reviews 8 comments 51358 views
	Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti by Salad Foodie Cheese-stuffed manicotti personifies comfort food anytime, but take it up a notch with a cheese four-some and Italian sausage and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. This was inspired by a few pasta manufacturer web site recipes, but I added my own spin here and there and was pleasantly surprised how well they worked. Oh Mama-Mia, this…	1 vote 3 comments 6910 views
	Focaccia with Olives and Rosemary (Bread Machine or Conventional Method) by Salad Foodie Hot, fresh and homemade Focaccia with olives and herbs - what could be better? A hearty and versatile bread to serve with salads, a side to Italian meals, a base for pizza or used as a sandwich bread. If a bread machine is handy, use it to mix, knead…	3 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 21007 views
	Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs by Salad Foodie Italian-American in origin, this soup was really misnamed. “Wedding soup” is a mistranslation of the Italian language for 'minestra maritata', a reference to the fact that greens and meat go well together. (Well that’s a good marriage isn’t it?) I looked at several recipes of this popular soup, selected aspects of a few, added some…	2 votes 2 comments 15729 views

	Focaccia (Italian Flat Bread) by Salad Foodie A basic focaccia recipe easy to make. Serve with any number of entrees, salads, soups, use as sandwich bread or as a base for a variety of focaccia toppings. Recipe will serve 8 conservatively but who stops at one conservative serving of homemade focaccia? Better double the recipe and be sure you'll have enough! The dough setting of a…	1 vote 1 comment 8996 views
	Beef & Bacon Meatballs with Mushroom Pasta Sauce by Salad Foodie Sometimes my food experiments go right and this one certainly did: an every day meatball kicked up a notch with bacon! Preparation time is reduced by using pre-sliced mushrooms and prepared sauce.	3 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 4786 views
	Vegetable Lasagna by Salad Foodie Lasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 13967 views
	Chicken Cacciatore by Salad Foodie Cacciatore in cuisine refers to a meal prepared “hunter style” with meat, tomatoes, onions, herbs, wine (and depending on region and availability other vegetables.) Time-saving conveniences like boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs, presliced mushrooms and onions simplify preparation. While the chicken braises in the tomato…	2 votes 2 comments 11851 views
	Italian Herb Bread (Bread Machine or Conventional Yeast Bread Method) by Salad Foodie Garlic and Italian herbs infuse this homemade bread which can be made in a bread machine or by conventional yeast bread method.

	Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes by Salad Foodie I am enamored with pasta, tomatoes and basil recipes and have tried out several. This one is from Cook's Country (April/May 2015) and indeed has robust tomato flavors by roasting them! See Useful Links below for an earlier posted and similar recipe that we liked well too.	1 vote 2946 views
	Baked Penne with Vegetables by Salad Foodie Reminiscent of lasagna but loaded with veggies, this dish will take center stage at group gatherings. It makes good use of summer's zucchini surplus, so file the recipe away in your stash of squash faves. Don't let the cauliflower put you off - it is so well camouflaged that while many noticed the zucchini, no one detected cauliflower…	1 vote 1 comment 3782 views
	Pesto Swirl Bread by Salad Foodie Swirl breads are the “lookers” of the yeast bread world! In this recipe traditional cinnamon filling is replaced with basil pesto as the star attraction rolled into a light whole wheat dough. The homemade savory filling makes this bread a perfect accompaniment to pastas, salads, soups, and grilled meats and fish. Use the pesto…	1 vote 3477 views
	Tuscan Chicken with Peppers and Pasta by Salad Foodie This skillet meal makes a healthy stovetop supper and won't heat up the kitchen doing so.	1 vote 1 comment 3260 views
	Eggplant Parmesan (Slow Cooker or Crockpot version) by Salad Foodie This recipe based on one from Allrecipes.com served 8 and was cooked in a 5-quart slow cooker. I cut the recipe in half for 4 servings (which is the recipe below.) It cooks well in a 2 1/2 to 3-quart slow cooker. Whichever size you make, I think you’ll like this easy-does it version of yummy Eggplant Parmesan! (Note:…	2 votes 4396 views
