Cooler CornLarge gatherings of people who like corn on the cob requires a couple of lobster pots or a wash tub and a lot of boiling water and patience. Not anymore. Thanks to tailgating technology there is a simple way to make dozens of ears of corn for the hungry revelers. |

Sauteed Swiss Chard with OnionsThis is Yummy and makes your Swiss Chard taste the best it can. This is a four-star recipe from Epicurious. The picture shows brown bits that might be mistaken for bacon; those are the caramelized onion pieces. By the way, I fixed a baked potato with butter and sour cream and put a mound of this on top; it pretty much rocked. |

Cranberry Cole SlawAre you craving crunchy freshness right about now? When meltingly tender slow-cooked stews and soups predominate. They are welcome, but sometimes you want some bite-y food. And make that simple, quick, healthy, and low cal too, please. I like this lightly dressed and fat free. But you can easily add oil if you want to increase… |

Honey-Ginger Glazed CarrotsThis is a standard side dish for us when we're serving an asian-inspired meal. It's also great with any grilled meat. The honey brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and the ginger gives a bit of spice to balance the sweetness. Orange zest and juice gives a nice acidity to the dish. If you make this, it will likely become… |

Incredible, Skinny Roasted Garlic MashersThis recipe is it! These are one of my favorite ways to make mashed potatoes. And for garlic lovers, a dream come true. 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… |

Homemade Refried BeansI'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that… |

AvgolemonoThis week the international destination that I am travelling to is Greece! Oh to go to Greece for real! Definitely one of my top 5 wishes. Luckily though I am just walking distance from a wonderful restaurant that has served our town since 1973. It was at The Continental Corner that I was first introduced to this sauce –… |

Hawaiian Crest SalsaI came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken. I had just visited the supermarket, so I had lots of fresh ingredients on hand. My sister Gayle said this recipe reminded her of Hawaii and crisp freshness… |

Taco Sauce #2This is inexpensive to make, stays in the fridge for weeks, and is a nice, basic sauce to drizzle on tacos or over tortilla dishes for decoration, i.e., it is not a cooking sauce. It's very mild, so kids might like it. |
