Chuckwagon Cornbread by myra byankaBake this recipe in a baking pan or skillet. Add a bit more sugar, if you have a sweet tooth. If presentation isn't important, I usually pour the batter into an aluminum-lined pan for easy cleanup. To store leftovers, wrap in plastic, then foil, and refrigerate. This cornbread is very moist, so let cool a bit before slicing. |

Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad by Salad FoodieOriginally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over. Adding a few new veggies and seasonings, and subbing an oil-based dressing, made it lighter and brighter. The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed. |
