Perfect Bread and Butter Pickles by Farrell May Podgorsek

Not too sweet and not too sour, these old-fashioned pickles are crisp and crunchy. " Better than Grandma's" is the comment I most often hear. They are great for snacking on and perfect on a hamburger or hot dog. Refrigerator pickles are quick to make and will last in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks. I use a mandolin style slicer…

Bugs Bunny Guacamole by Smokinhotchef

Holy Guacamole! Run of the mill guacamole is taken over the top with a little spicy reinforcement from salsa. Tomatoes add garden fresh flavor and are rich in lycopene. Grated carrot adds an element of crunch and texture, not to mention beta-carotene and fiber, while Sriracha seals the deal. If you love guacamole, you'll be hoppin'…

Cream cheesie corn by Glenn

I was given the chore of coming up with a new side dish for Thanksgiving. I like corn--particularly when I am eating. I like cream cheese--only when I am eating. Voila, an idea is born.

Netta Belle's Choice Beets with Balsamic Vinegar by Julia Ann Souders

Beets are often not a favorite vegetable, most often eaten as Harvard Beets or pickled beets, sweet and tangy. Here is a beet recipe which is tasty served hot or cold in a lettuce salad. Steaming prevents loss of vitamin B, manganese, potassium and vitamin C. This recipe is from the Harvard University Dining Services.…

Chipotle Chickpea Dip by K. Garner

This is based on the same-titled recipe on Fat Free Vegan.com. I used heaping tablespoons of chipotle peppers, white onion, and a mixture of fresh and bottled lime juice. This dip is FANtastic.
