Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John SpottiswoodThese are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too! |

Creole Pralines by Amos MillerBetter 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! It is time to play 'soft ball', and we're not talking the sport - we're talking Creole candy. When the recipe calls for your concoction on the stove to reach the… |

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British) by Marlin RinehartThis sauce is served over steamed puddings, fruit crisps (crumbles), and any dessert that would be enhanced by a creamy vanilla sauce. It's the perfect homemade replacement for Byrd's Custard powder. One warning, however: 1) use a small, "thick-bottom" saucepan, and 2) cook over low heat and don't allow the mixture to boil or it will… |

Warm Brussles Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Parmesan by Nancy MiyasakiI adapted this from a Oprah recipe. She makes the salad with raw brussel sprouts. I couldn't quite trust that, so I blanched them lightly before slicing. This produced a delcious and slightly warm salad. I should have tried some raw and some cooked to see which method is best. Maybe one of you can do that and let us know? |

Orange Chipotle Vinaigrette by Bob VincentThis recipe is adapted from one by Julie Campoy in her book Julienne. I made some changes to it. I added garlic, used more honey and reduced 50% more orange juice. I also added Mexican oregano and cut back on the cumin a bit. This produces a thin vinaigrette. If you want it thicker whisk in a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise.… |

mashed potatoes by david spottiswoodThese are special, and go well with the pan gravy recipe I am posting. Using Yukon Gold potatoes, you can either leave all the skins on, or, as I do, peel half the potatoes. This recipe is for four. I omit the salt if serving with the pan gravy (the bacon makes the gravy salty enough) |

Strawberry and Rhubarb Tapioca Pudding by Salad FoodieA delightful tapioca pudding for a special occasion. So ruby-red pretty, and with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, you'll think you died and went to heaven. If fresh rhubarb is not available substitute frozen, and mash or cut up after simmering if necessary. |

With the aid of a food processor and a few simple ingredients you can knock out these tasty, satisfying little Italian dumplings in… |
