Everything Goes Oatmeal Coookies by J. Gino GenovesiThis is an original recipe. I was making them, years ago, because my children wanted a "loaded" oatmeal cookie that was good, soft and plump. Now my grand children like them and I thought I would pass it on so others can enjoy them. They are easy to prepare and delicious. Chef J. Gino Genovesi |

Old-Fashioned Raisin Walnut Spice Bars by Salad FoodieThis vintage bar cookie recipe should be included in the Oldie-But-Goodie Cookie Hall of Fame. Great for a brunch treat, snack or coffee break, it is dated 1960 but is timeless in appeal. Easily tweaked to reduce fat (swap out half the oil with equivalent amount of applesauce) or reduce sugar (sub non-nutritive sweetener… |

Apfelkuchen (German Apple Cake) with Almond Apple Cake Variation by Salad FoodieThis recipe takes me back over 50 years when I lived in Germany. My landlady Mathilda would treat me to this pastry and one day I asked her for the recipe. She agreed to show me how to make it, if I taught her how to make American lemon meringue pie!… |

Mon Gateau Au Chocolat by Ali El SafyAn absolutely wonderful cake; most traditionally served without icing. If you're including kids, might want to add your favorite, but I love it the "old school" way! |

“Bear Sign” (Or… a more polite name: “Nut & Berry Shortbread Bars”) by Kevin OlomonDuring the off-season, when salmon aren’t readily available up north, Alaskan bears eat mainly nuts and berries. So to track a bear in the woods, you simply look to the forest floor and watch for “bear sign”. Need I say more? Ha! These are SO easy… |

Blue Cornmeal Cornbread by Salad FoodieBlue cornmeal imparts a blue-violet cast to the bread, a coarser consistency and a sweeter, nuttier taste than yellow or white cornmeal. It is 20% higher in protein and has a lower glycemic index, good news for those with elevated blood sugar. However it can be difficult to find! Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill make it and some health… |

Half & Half Whole Wheat Bread (Machine or Hand-made) by Salad FoodieWell it's NEARLY half and half (whole wheat flour and white bread flour.) This makes a 2-pound loaf of bread though you can bake it in two 1-pound loaf pans and freeze one..or smaller pans as you wish. At high altitudes, decrease yeast a little (1/2 teaspoon) and increase water (1 to 2 tablespoons.) |

Zucchini Chocolate Cake by Salad FoodieIf 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. |

Multi-Grain Bread (Bread Machine or Conventional) by Salad FoodieAn all-around favorite in our family. Serve with homemade soup, use for grilled sandwiches and as toast. The variety of grains provides a nutty texture. But if you don’t have all the grains on hand, just sub whole wheat for the same amounts. Can be made conventional yeast method, but I always START with my Toshiba Bread Machine on… |

Double Butter Bundt Cake by Salad FoodieMoist and rich, this unfrosted Bundt cake is versatile as a stand-alone snack with tea or coffee, or as a pastry base for ice cream or strawberry shortcake. The “double butter” name comes from butter as the shortening, along with buttermilk as the liquid (see NOTE below for using regular milk instead.) The cake travels well to… |

Fresh Spinach Quiche by Salad FoodiePerfect for brunch or company, and one way to use up leftover fresh spinach. Use half Swiss cheese and half mozzarella if preferred. Do not bake pie shell well ahead of time as it needs to be hot or at least very warm when filling is poured in it. |

Favorite Whole Wheat Bread (Bread Machine or Conventional) by Salad FoodieMy whole wheat bread of choice. Can be made conventional yeast method, but I always START with my Toshiba Bread Machine on the whole wheat setting, then INTERRUPT the cycle just before baking begins; that way I have a built-in bread mixer, kneader and proof oven, but I get to shape and control the baking to perfection, and have bread… |

Easy Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken With Quick Slaw by Salad FoodieA new twist on an old favorite - chicken and coleslaw - from Delmarva Poultry Industries Inc. I tried it using 2 different crumb coatings (corn flakes and panko) and found the corn flake crumbs gave better color and overall results. The buttermilk marinade makes the chicken moist and tender. |
