Easy Sour Cream Biscuits by Salad Foodie

Quick to the table because there's no cutting of shortening into flour mixture. Just stir in sour cream, knead lightly, pat out, cut and bake. Couldn't be simpler to get homemade biscuits on the table. I like to use up the tail end of the sour cream this way.

Cornbread, Jalapeno Maple Bacon by Amos Miller

When the daytime temperature hits around 50 degrees and the evening plunges to 30 or lower, it is time to begin the annual maple syrup processing in our neck of the woods. We use it for many things and one of them is this cornbread. I first had a jalapeno cornbread in Texas, made by my sister's cowboy husband's aunt Netha, and…

Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread by Amos Miller

My paternal grandfather emigrated to the US in 1912 bringing with him his mother's family recipe for the incredibly delicious - almost cake-like - limpa of the southern Swedish countryside. I looked at every recipe for Swedish Limpa Bread on the C-E-S site. None of them are family recipes, although there is a rye bread recipe, it's…

Chocolate Chip Date Nut Loaf by Salad Foodie

In my upper tier of nut bread recipe FAVS, Chocolate Chip Date Nut Loaf is one I reserve for special occasions, usually during the Christmas season and wrapped as token gifts for others. Bake as large loaves to slice and share at holiday potlucks, or in mini-loaves or jumbo cupcakes for gifting. A distinct alternative to the typical…

Buttermilk Cornbread with Green Chilies and Cheese by Salad Foodie

It’s hard to stop at just one serving of this, so if you have a hungry crowd coming, double the recipe! I love to bake cornbread in a cast iron skillet to get that crispy crust, but a 9" square baking pan will make good cornbread too.

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…

Favorite Date Nut Bread by Salad Foodie

This recipe is chock full of nuts and dates, and never fails to deliver in flavor and moistness. It stores well for several days refrigerated, and freezes well too.

Moroccan Bread by Amos Miller

It is interesting to me that one of my grandfathers, a West Virginian who lived at the end of Horsemill Hollow, always referred to bread as 'the staff of life'. As anyone who has traveled to North Africa knows, bread is a special food, treated with the utmost respect and central to every meal. My Mountaineer gramps would have much…

Butternut Squash Dinner Rolls by Joann Mathias

Runza (Meat & Cabbage Pies) by Bob Vincent

This is a modifed old German recipe. These are great served with a hearty soup. They make a substantial appetizer when cut into pieces. Yes, they are high in fat. Don't substitute the vegetable shortening as it is what really makes for soft and delicate dough. The sugar provides a sweetness to the dough. For a bit of color add…

Pumpkin Praline Muffins by Salad Foodie

A crunchy caramel-pecan topping crowns these moist and delicious muffins. Perfect for holiday breakfasts or snacks. I've made these several times but when I made them for this listing photo... I botched up bigtime! They were in the oven beginning to bake when I discovered I left the sugar out of the batter. Urgh------! Tell me if…

Beer Bread (by Bread Machine or Conventional Bread Method) by Salad Foodie

This recipe for Beer Bread has a fine grain, firm crust, light volume, nice moist quality plus a slight taste similar to sourdough. I use the bread machine as a convenience - to make the dough and proof it. Then I interrupt the cycle just prior to the baking function so I can shape to a regular loaf pan, give it an extra and final…

Blue Cornmeal Cornbread by Salad Foodie

Blue 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…

Double Corn & Green Chile Muffins by Salad Foodie

Whole kernel corn adds texture, flavor and moistness to ordinary cornmeal muffins. Add to that sharp cheddar cheese, green chiles plus your choice and amount of "heat" seasoning and you've a nice accompaniment to a bowl of beans, chili, or southwestern soup.

Favorite Oatmeal Muffins by Salad Foodie

No, not just my favorite oatmeal muffin, these are actually my Number 1 Favorite Muffin ~ period! I love that they are comparatively low-fat and won’t make your fingers greasy as you eat them. I love the chewy texture of oatmeal, the sweetness of raisins and cinnamon, and the spongy texture buttermilk imparts to baked products. I…
