Quick Meatloaf & Potatoes

Quick Meatloaf & Potatoes by Salad Foodie

Start to finish this can be on the table in 30 minutes, which represents 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes cook time in the microwave. This meal-in-one recipe comes from the heyday of microwave cooking in the 80's and 90's, and is always a family pleaser. Of course it can be baked in a 350 degree F. conventional oven instead, for an…

Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard Sauce

Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard Sauce by Salad Foodie

Salmon can be dressed up for company or simply broiled or grilled plainly and be equally divine. This treatment features a crunchy crust of pecans atop the fillet, which is baked on a bed of spinach. *Next time I will steam the spinach separately to have more control of its doneness as on my first go-round it was overbaked (but the…

Chicken Potpie Soup

Chicken Potpie Soup by Salad Foodie

Chicken potpie is one of the all-time favorite comfort foods, but not too many of us labor making the pie crust version with the yummy creamy filling. Enter Chicken Potpie Soup! I used Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners' recipe as a starting point, where garlic buttered croutons made from lavash thin bread (not crackers) or flour…

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross Cookies

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross Cookies by Salad Foodie

Peanut butter cookie recipes abound, but none of them came close to rekindling memories of the favorite from my youth - until I came across this one in an Old Farmer's Almanac. The first batch I made convinced me the recipe was the one from my early baking years. Ah - answered prayers!

Think macaroon with a chocolate kiss - a match made in heaven. These will disappear fast on your valentine cookie tray. Be sure to have chocolate kisses unwrapped and ready to pop onto cookie tops when removed from oven.

This cake is great for the holiday season. It will not, however work in a bundt pan, as the caramel floats to the bottom.

Easy Cornbread Dressing

Easy Cornbread Dressing by myra byanka

Very tasty dressing that doesn't require making the cornbread first. You can prep it in advance and freeze it. Let thaw before baking. Also, you can mix it up and store it a couple of days in the fridge. Add 15 minutes to the bake time, if putting it cold into the oven. Note that some of these ingredients are probably not…

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon)

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon) by Salad Foodie

It's hard to improve on an American classic, but I think this recipe based on Cooking Light Magazine (9/09) does just that. I stayed fairly close to its version and am glad I did. We loved the smoky flavor bacon imparts to cheesy pasta, and the extra zing from hot sauce. You will need a broiler-safe baking dish or pan for this. I used…

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger by Patti Fisher

We got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only was there 2…

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

Moist and chewy, these will help satisfy your choco-holic inclinations. Baking chocolate rather than cocoa gives a richer color and flavor than cocoa, and coconut help keep them moist.
