Asian-Style Grilled Black Bass by John Spottiswood

This fish is simply delicious. The flesh is like butter and the flavor is from heaven. I know that sounds extreme, but it's true. I was in Costco and the fresh fish counter had whole black bass. I'd never made it before, but the woman behind the counter said it is similar to yellowtail (hamachi) which is one of my favorites, so I…

Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan by myra byanka

Easy to prepare, lower calorie version of this dish. For maximum tenderness, I recommend brining the breasts in 2 qts. water and 1/2 C table salt for 1 to 1 1/2 hours and rinsing them in cold water for several minutes. Or, take a kitchen mallet or rolling pin and put the whammy on 'em.

Southwestern Sweet Potato Casserole by John Spottiswood

I adapted this from a Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe that sounded great. My kids aren't big fans of squash...but they do love yams and sweet potatoes. I thought this was wonderful served with warm rice. I sprinkled cayenne on mine to spice it up a bit. It was even better as leftovers the next couple of days. The photo did not come…

Perfect to make with leftover eggs...There are dozens of ways to make egg salad but this one is my favorite!

Don’t be scared off by the curry powder. It’s…

Pumpkin Alfredo by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a pumpkin variation of a traditional Italian dish that could easily go with a Holiday meal. We enjoy this with shrimp since the flavors complement each other well, but I believe it would go very well with turkey or ham too!
