Ed's Chicago Cocoa Chili ( aka Chocolate Chili ) by Edward HellerI like cooking and I love chili and chocolate, so if there was any way I could combine the three, I was gonna do it. So here is my quite excellent balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy, which I hope you will enjoy as well. (This recipe has been on recipezaar-dot-com since 2002, where 50 people have posted reviews of my chili… |

Sweet basil tomato salad by Lynn YamamotoI adapted this recipe from a tomato salad my mom's friend, Michi, made us years ago. She marinates the tomatoes in the dressing. We use this as salad dressing. You need to use a pretty sturdy lettuce such as Romaine--it's a substantial dressing. It's got wonderful flavor either way you use it. |

Even though Ellie is a registered dietician and a very dedicated health nut, I still like her recipes!

For those of us that like it hot...I add 3 pureed… |

Apricot Walnut Squares (A Bar Cookie) by Salad FoodieCRUNCHY, CHEWY and MOIST. That sums up this pleasing amber-color bar cookie. The bottom crust gets extra crunch from bran cereal, while the top layer combines apricots and walnuts. This one-bowl recipe will be quick on cleanup, and that will give you more time to savor this unusual treat. |

Mex-Italian Chili by Chef WannabeeOne day I threw this together and everyone loved it sooooo much that now I have to make it all the time! It’s a little spicy, a little Tex-Mex, and a little Italian too! After I started calling it Mex-Italian Chili, the name stuck. Now I crave it all the time - whatever the season, it’s Mex-Italian Chili time! I like chicken… |

Having made it several times since I made only minor… |

Beef Fajita Best Marinade by Amos MillerThis is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This… |

Blueberry-Peach Cobbler by Nancy MiyasakiThis makes a wonderful mid-late summer treat when fresh peaches and nectarines are in abundance. You can substitute nectarines, apricots, Pluots, and other fruits for the peaches if they look better. I've made a number of cobbler recipes and this is the best. You won't be disappointed! |
