Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Mushroom Sauce by Salad Foodie

A great recipe for week nights because it uses purchased prepared spaghetti sauce - yet this dish tastes anything but blah. Be sure not to overcook the squash because part of the uniqueness is the crunchy texture of the "noodles". Of course you can substitute your own spaghetti sauce recipe using your garden fresh tomatoes and basil…

Poached Pears by Salad Foodie

A favorite fall dessert or breakfast fruit when pears are in season. This is a Better Homes and Garden Cookbook recipe, and the only liberty I take at times is to replace part or all of the sugar with Splenda (depending on guests and their diet requirements.) I often double the recipe (and 4 x the poaching liquid) and store pears in…

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…

Light Whole Wheat Sourdough Oatmeal Rolls by myra byanka

The recipe name says it all, except for a touch of honey and molasses in the dough. You can shape the rolls any way you want, but I like to roll them and place them close together, so they rise next to each other. Eat them with honey butter for a real treat. Makes 12 dinner rolls.

Fried Chicken and Gravy by myra byanka

More experiments in fried chicken recipes have yielded a really good one at last. A lot of recipes, especially southern ones, call for brining the chicken in buttermilk. I did soak the chicken briefly in half milk, half buttermilk. The crust was nice and crispy, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. This is my new go-to…

Double Corn & Green Chile Muffins by Salad Foodie

Whole kernel corn adds texture, flavor and moistness to ordinary cornmeal muffins. Add to that sharp cheddar cheese, green chiles plus your choice and amount of "heat" seasoning and you've a nice accompaniment to a bowl of beans, chili, or southwestern soup.

Lamb Chops with Mushroom & Cider-Mint Glaze by Salad Foodie

Lamb chops are treat enough on our table, but we especially enjoyed them with this mint-infused mushroom sauce. When I spotted O-bone lamb chops on sale and considered my bounty of fresh garden mint, I knew the two were destined to marry! This recipe was inspired by the Longhorn Steak House, though I reverted to packaged gravy mix…

Sour Cream Streusel Muffins by Salad Foodie

A personal-size coffee cake in a muffin - these are seriously addicting! Increase the streusel topping if you’re crazy about the heavenly crunch on top (1 ½ times streusel topping ingredients should do it.) Be prepared for these gems to disappear quickly.
