Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon) by Salad FoodieIt's hard to improve on an American classic, but I think this recipe based on Cooking Light Magazine (9/09) does just that. I stayed fairly close to its version and am glad I did. We loved the smoky flavor bacon imparts to cheesy pasta, and the extra zing from hot sauce. You will need a broiler-safe baking dish or pan for this. I used… |

Coach's Favorite Baby Lima Beans by myra byankaI have a dog park buddy (former basketball coach) I cook for, and he brought me this recipe a lady in his school cafeteria gave him before retirement. If you can't find dried baby lima beans, use canned or frozen. This is a real southern comfort food dish, which you will see when you read the ingredients. |

Scalloped Potatoes ~ Microwave Quick! by Salad FoodieScalloped potatoes cooked in 12 minutes? Compare that to the hour-and-a-half baking time most scalloped potato recipes require, and this recipe may become a year round “fav” for you since the microwave keeps your kitchen cool. Another appeal is the unusual and subtle flavor Swiss cheese gives to this dish. The recipe is based on one… |

In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries by Salad FoodieI 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.… |

Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon) by Salad FoodieA 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. I like the subtle crunch and texture cabbage provides, and using red potatoes and leaving the skins on, adds extra color and nutrition. (An optional version… |

When you roast garlic it has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. They taste just like the rich decadent potatoes you get in a 5 star restaurant only skinnier. The skinny for 1 serving is only 94 calories, 3.6 grams… |

One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a… |

It is good to venture outside your comfort zone from time to time - and this is a good way to start!

Kale with Kalamata Olives by Salad FoodieKale 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! |
