Anyone Can Pickle! Cherries, Sweet, Spicy and Fast! by kathy gori

I've always been interested in pickles, preserving and canning. I guess it's my inner squirrel speaking. The little squeaky voice in my head in the middle of summer that says "save all those wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables you see now, its going to be a long cold winter". I love looking into my larder when the rain is…

Spinach Balls by Glenn

Found this on the web at mydailymoment.com and decided to give it a try since I love spinach. It was easy to prepare but I don't think I got the spinach fully defrosted and "squeezed dry." I overcooked them by at least 10 minutes and they never did get bound together tight. I think it was the water so I have not yet modified the…

Roasted & Herbed Potato Carrot Shallot Medley by Now We're Cooking!

This is my own mash-up (pardon the pun) inspired initially by a recipe from Giada De Laurentis. G's recipe involved parsnips and brussels sprouts, not my combination of potatoes or shallots.

Cucumber & Tomato Condiment by Amos Miller

This is a very finely-minced salad-condiment commonly found in the northern mountains of Morocco. It is eaten with roast meats and substantial meat dishes. Most Moroccan salads benefit from a bit of quiet time so the flavors can integrate and the aromas build. This is very tasty as a topping for hamburgers, and can even be a dip,…

Mexican Corn and Potatoes by Robyn Savoie

In the Summer roast the fresh corn and while doing that roast those Serrano's. The additional smoky flavor will only enhance this. I like to serve this as side during a picnic because you can prepare this the day before. First, leave the onions raw. Spray a disposable aluminum pan with non-stick cooking spray. Toss all the…
