	In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries by Salad Foodie I serve turkey year round but forget to keep canned cranberry sauce on hand; even when I do it's hard to use up the whole can because not everone eats it. Recently the craving for cranberries with roast turkey breast was too strong. I grabbed the Craisin bag from the pantry and experimented making a small amount of cranberry sauce.…	2 votes 1 review 5124 views
	Creole Pralines by Amos Miller Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy!

Lime is the predominant flavor, with a “hint of mint.” Serve it with crackers and cream cheese, or put it out when you serve lamb or other meats. Use it as you would marmalade, on toast or biscuits. If you like lime, you will love this lip-smacking sweet…	1 vote 2 comments 5622 views

	Sweet Zucchini Pickles by Salad Foodie Too many zucchini - what to do? A recipe by Chuck Allen (Palm Springs) caught my eye. Expectations are high from this retired chef, so he takes this recipe as a hostess gift. It is as colorful as it is delicious and lasts about 6 weeks refrigerated. The only thing I added was small cauliflowerettes. What an attractive conversation…	1 vote 3365 views

	Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon) by Salad Foodie A perfect way to boost nutrition in mashed potatoes, this is a favorite Irish side dish but can certainly appear at Oktoberfest in late September with bratwurst or sauerbraten.

	Kale with Kalamata Olives by Salad Foodie Kale is hearty and healthy, and often teams in winter soups with potatoes and beans. But in this recipe, based on Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, it takes center stage. Quick to prepare it is a pleasant change from other green sides. Don’t let the volume of a one pound bunch of kale scare you off - it cooks down!	1 vote 2147 views
