Mom's Pickled Beet and Egg SaladI've fond memories of my mother's salads but have few written recipes of hers. Relying on memory alone for ingredients and flavors, I've come fairly close to her pickled beet salad. Three ingredients - this recipe is way easy! Of course I might add and/or embellish with all kinds of ingredients and garnishes we use today, but for the… |

Pumpkin Pineapple Walnut CakeReminiscent of carrot cake, this recipe lends easily to sweetness modification or whole grain flour substitutions to your tastes. The first time around in making it I was tempted to tweak it using less sugar and oil. Good thing I didn't - Lou Seibert Pappas had it perfectly balanced for the masses in her "A Harvest of Pumpkins and… |

Homemade Ranch Dressing and DipThis delicious dressing and dip (e.g. crudités, chicken wings) takes some prep time, but is so much better than bottled dressing, which has, to me, and unpleasant preservative aftertaste. |

Skinny Matzo Ball Soup for Passover or AnytimeI bet you never thought matzo ball soup could be made skinny! The soup itself is usually low in calories and fat but matzo balls are loaded with chicken fat and made with several eggs. Not my skinny ones! Here I’m using just 1 tablespoon of canola oil and 2 healthy Eggland’s Best eggs. These mini matzo balls are so light and… |

Vinaigrette Coleslaw ILight with a nice balance of sweet/sour, Vinaigrette Coleslaw has become one of my favorites from BGH.COM, and makes a welcome change from creamy coleslaw recipes. Consider it especially for outings, barbecues and picnics because it does not contain mayonnaise. Suit your taste or time selection of cabbage with all green, a combo of… |

Zucchini Oatmeal CookiesIf you like a semi-soft, moist yet chewy cookie Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies should appeal to you. Overtime I have tried different zucchini cookie recipes. For this version I blended a few ideas from them and included some of my own. So far I like this best. |

Green Beans, New Potatoes and BaconA 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… |
