Crunchy Chicken Rice Casserole by Salad Foodie

Putting leftovers together with pantry and fridge basics one evening I came up with this family pleaser. Water chestnuts and almonds provide the crunch. A green veggie side and/or tossed salad round out this weeknight dinner perfectly.

Deviled Ham & Cheese Sandwich Spread for a Crowd by Salad Foodie

Back in the mid 60's my roommate Joan made this deviled ham sandwich filling and what's different about it than any I've tried since is the addition of shredded cheese. A quick call to Joan recently helped better approximate ingredients and amounts. Save this recipe so you can bring new life to leftover Easter ham! It makes 2 party…

Cornbread Waffles by Salad Foodie

Necessity is the mother of invention. In this instance I am going into the second month of home remodeling life without a kitchen. We either eat cereal, eat out or use small kitchen appliances to cook or heat up food. When given a container of homemade chili recently, I decided to try cooking my favorite cornbread recipe in the…

Saucepan Chocolate Sheet Cake by Salad Foodie

A large saucepan can be used to prepare both the batter and the frosting of this sheet cake. Sour cream adds moisture and a more tender texture. This recipe makes enough for a large group or potluck.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars by Salad Foodie

An oatmeal streusel mixture serves as both crust and topping in this delightfully chewy cookie bar. The secret ingredient in the filling is purchased caramel topping. These bars are very sweet so cutting them in smaller portion sizes is appropriate. It just extends the sublime enjoyment of the treats - unless you just keep snitching…

Oven Roasted Vegetables by Salad Foodie

I enjoy roasted vegetables and have tried several ways of preparing them, but this is the version I keep coming back to. Love the garlic and the way the veggies begin to caramelize.

Buttermilk Banana Bread by Salad Foodie

Does the world need another banana bread recipe? I thought not, until one day I had not only ripe bananas to use up but also buttermilk. It was a culinary match made in heaven. I love the sublime texture and moistness that buttermilk imbues. This is a more tender grain than most nutbreads so I highly recommend making it ahead and…

Chicken Noodle Soup by Salad Foodie

Comfort food at its best! Hearty, flavorful and chock full of chicken - what more need a soup offer? This is a perfect amount for a small family with leftovers, but adjust the recipe to your needs.

Cream of Vegetable Soup by Salad Foodie

A good base comfort soup for the winter season. Cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic predominate, but you can rifle through the veggie bin and sub out others like spinach, zucchini, parsnips, etc. and you can increase or decrease the ratios of vegetables to your preference. About 9 cups of raw vegetables are needed. When…

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies - HIGH ALTITUDE STYLE by Salad Foodie

Think you can't improve on the Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe? You can if you live at a high altitude (3500 to 6000 feet) and you make the recommended adjustments by the Nestle Company. I have made these cookies since I was young…

Chocolate Oatmeal Nut Muffins by Salad Foodie

Get your chocolate fix in an oatmeal nut muffin - and call it health food! Moist and tasty. Use your preferred nut in place of walnuts - pecans, chopped almonds, cashew, etc.

Chicken Tender Rollups with Bacon Wrap by Salad Foodie

The basic version of this recipe abounds on the Internet, using boneless chicken breasts and gouda cheese. I tweaked it to use what I had on hand, and that was chicken tenders. The resulting rollups are smaller, almost luncheon size, and you can use the cheese you prefer if no gouda's available - Swiss, cheddar, jack, mozzarella.…

Banana Bran Muffins by Salad Foodie

These muffins are delicious, and so healthy! Over time I have tweaked the original recipe until I got it just right and this version is the keeper!
