	Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon) by Salad Foodie It'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…	1 vote 1718 views
	Three Cheese Macaroni & Cheese by Salad Foodie An unusual recipe ingredient caught my attention when I saw this on the Internet and after trying it out the recipe went straight to my rotation FAVS. Three cheeses make it irresistible - Cheddar, Parmesan - and (the surprise to me) - cottage cheese. Then a crunchy topping clinches the deal. I tweaked it very little and believe…	1 vote 2617 views
	Asparagus with Lemon Sauce by Salad Foodie This fulfilled my need to go beyond that same old, same old steamed asparagus. The lip-smacking sauce is just lemony-perfect. Inspired by allrecipes.com.	1 vote 1 comment 3744 views
	Roasted Butternut Squash by B Innes To roast butternut squash you can either roast cut in half, cut side down, in a pan with a little water for about 1-1½ hours and then scoop out of the skin or peel, seed, cube and roast for about 30 minutes on high heat. My version uses a light marinade to oil the cubed squash and add a little sweetness. I keep it simple, but feel…	1 vote 1 comment 3346 views

	Green Beans, New Potatoes and Bacon by Salad Foodie A delicious side to serve with meat, or as a main luncheon dish with salad. Honestly I could almost eat a whole plateful of this! It is so simple but so tasty. First run-through I followed the recipe exactly from Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook by Harvest House Publishers 2010. Having made it several times since I made only minor…	3 votes 4 comments 12506 views

	Mexican Rice Pilaf by myra byanka Generally, Mexican cooks make this rice with fresh tomatoes, but ever the corner-cutter, I use petite diced, drained.	1 vote 1 comment 5477 views

	Scalloped Potatoes ~ Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie Scalloped 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…	2 votes 1 comment 16679 views
	Succotash with Fresh Herbs & Smoked Meat by Amos Miller To a great extent, succotash was another of the many gifts to the table from Native Americans. Corn, beans and meat are a tasty and nourishing combination, whatever the type of bean or meat. In this recipe the real flavor play is brought forward by the addition of fresh herbs. After all, corn and beans have no real pronounced flavors…	2 votes 4 comments 6489 views

It's quick to make and can be the poultry stuffing, served as a side to holiday…	1 vote 3961 views

Made with such a rich barbecued flavor and a bit of a kick. Great to serve for barbecues or picnics with chicken, beef, pork, burgers or hot dogs. Many recipes for baked beans include bacon or chunks of pork. My…	1 vote 1 comment 5348 views
	Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon) by Salad Foodie A 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…	2 votes 1 review 5604 views
