	Buttermilk Coconut Cake by Kathleen Scott My father remembered the coconut cake I made him for Father's Day and asked for a coconut cake for his birthday. I don't make desserts when it's just me and Denny but Dad knew I'd make one for him. I'm happy he's still here. And I believe this: Eat your cake while you can, especially at 87. The Father's Day cake was the FIRST…	1 vote 1 comment 13748 views
	St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake by Nancy Miyasaki I made this cake in advance of St. Patick's Day to test if it would be worthy of that occassion. I was a little bit skeptical given the packaged ingredients, but it turned out wonderfully. Our dinner guests and our kids both loved it! When sliced, the inside of the cake has a nice green tint to it which is not visible in the photos…	3 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 7997 views
	Thousand Dollar Cake by Mary Winborn Legend has it that in the 1950's, a Texas milliionaire paid the chef at the Shamrock Hilton Hotel in Houston( a big deal at that time) a grand for this recipe. Makes a nice story.	1 vote 5555 views

	Blue Cornmeal Cornbread by Salad Foodie Blue cornmeal imparts a blue-violet cast to the bread, a coarser consistency and a sweeter, nuttier taste than yellow or white cornmeal. It is 20% higher in protein and has a lower glycemic index, good news for those with elevated blood sugar. However it can be difficult to find! Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill make it and some health…	2 votes 1 review 13081 views

	The Very Best Glazed Meatloaf Recipe by Foodiewife This my family's favorite meatloaf recipe, of all time-- and my #1 most viewed and printed recipe on my food blog! What makes this taste so good is a combination of beef, veal and pork-- pricier, but it doesn't taste like a giant hamburger! Fresh marjoram and spices, hot sauce and herbs, and a fantastic glaze makes this so good-- you…	7 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 18548 views
	Half & Half Whole Wheat Bread (Machine or Hand-made) by Salad Foodie Well it's NEARLY half and half (whole wheat flour and white bread flour.) This makes a 2-pound loaf of bread though you can bake it in two 1-pound loaf pans and freeze one..or smaller pans as you wish. At high altitudes, decrease yeast a little (1/2 teaspoon) and increase water (1 to 2 tablespoons.)	2 votes 711 views
	Stuffed Mushrooms with Feta & Spinach by david spottiswood I adapted these mushrooms from a bon appetit recipe. They are delicious and always a crowd pleaser. They have a little zing from the crushed red pepper flakes. Great served as a passed hors d'oeuvre. We've taken these to other people's houses as an appetizer (just baking the last 10 minutes there) and they always get rave reviews.	8 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 39688 views
	Million Dollar Cake by Now We're Cooking! This is a light and refreshing summery cake. Makes use of mandarin oranges which is a deviation from many cake recipes.	2 votes 8837 views
	Zucchini Chocolate Cake by Salad Foodie If there's a most-requested recipe for my year this would be it. Mini-chocolate chips and chopped pecans serve as the "frosting" for this cake. I like to make this a day or night ahead, because I like the mini-chips to harden but if you like them soft and a little gooey, serve the same day.	3 votes 2 reviews 6819 views
	Multi-Grain Bread (Bread Machine or Conventional) by Salad Foodie An all-around favorite in our family. Serve with homemade soup, use for grilled sandwiches and as toast. The variety of grains provides a nutty texture. But if you don’t have all the grains on hand, just sub whole wheat for the same amounts. Can be made conventional yeast method, but I always START with my Toshiba Bread Machine on…	2 votes 1 comment 17165 views

	Louisiana Cornbread Stuffing by John Spottiswood This is a pretty spicy stuffing for those looking to add a little kick to their Thanksgiving dinner. It is delicious. I would recommend trying it out with Turkey sometime before Thanksgiving to decide if everyone in your family will like it. It's definitely not your grandmother's stuffing (unless you grew up in Baton Rouge)!	4 votes 1 review 11409 views
