	Green Bean, Carrot and Mushroom Medley by Salad Foodie A quick-to-fix green bean side dish or vegetarian main dish.

The real trick is getting the seasoning right. Experiment with your favorite herb combinations,…	1 vote 1 comment 4662 views
	Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie I haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked.

	Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…	13 votes 5 reviews 10 comments 16536 views

	Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option) by Salad Foodie Inspired by a recipe from New Paradigm Cooking (Sandbach, Terranova and Ware), I chose to forego the cookbook’s recommended 30 minutes simmering time in a stockpot, for a pressure cooker rendition which cut the cooking time to well under 10 minutes…	3 votes 1 review 7719 views

	Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option) by Salad Foodie Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition. Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently. I freeze extra waffles for a quick into-the-toaster breakfast.…	1 vote 3515 views
	Pumpkin Praline Muffins by Salad Foodie A crunchy caramel-pecan topping crowns these moist and delicious muffins. Perfect for holiday breakfasts or snacks. I've made these several times but when I made them for this listing photo... I botched up bigtime! They were in the oven beginning to bake when I discovered I left the sugar out of the batter. Urgh------! Tell me if…	2 votes 1 review 3703 views
