Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking

It is mushroom season, and I wrote a lot about (button) crimini mushrooms lately. Button mushrooms have an excellent amount of selenium, zinc and manganese; all three are great antioxidant minerals. Also daily intake of crimini mushrooms for 1-2 months can reduce levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and TGs. And if you are…

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.

Mashed Potatoes by Candice Goodyear

I don't like instant mashed potatoes at all. I make mine from scratch like many cooks out there. I like them either with butter and sour cream or butter and milk in them both are delicious. But, if you don't have milk or sour cream on hand you can substitute 1/4 cup real mayo, still taste great.
