Roasted Butternut SquashTo roast butternut squash you can either roast cut in half, cut side down, in a pan with a little water for about 1-1½ hours and then scoop out of the skin or peel, seed, cube and roast for about 30 minutes on high heat.

Chewy Crunchy Double Chocolate BrowniesThese brownies are my all-time favorite. They have two unusual ingredients: brown sugar and coconut, which add interesting taste variations and make them more moist than run-of-the-mill brownies. Be sure not to over-bake. They will be done in 20-25 minutes if using a bright aluminum pan; adjust time or temperature appropriately if… |

First run-through I followed the recipe exactly from Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook by Harvest House Publishers 2010. Having made it several times since I made only minor… |

Southwestern WafflesWhat happens when salsa meets waffles? Fusion cuisine - a marriage of unexpected culinary elements! I was skeptical of how good this might be and was prepared to grab the agave nectar or honey and some butter just in case. But it was very good just as it is.

Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins (with bread machine dough option)Whole wheat, bran and honey - a perfect threesome! Regular hamburger buns and even bread slices at times have too much bread volume for me, so I often turn to commercial sandwich thins. When I tried this recipe from breadworld.com it enabled me to have… |

Make these with walnuts, almonds or pecans; select raisins, dried cranberries or coconut, and use your favorite granola flavor. If you wish to substitute buttermilk in place of regular, as I often do in baked products, see Useful Link below that I will be posting. |

Baked Stuffed ClamsThese make a great appetizer, or serving a couple they make a nice dinner, and occasionally to make them truly elegant I top them with Hollandaise sauce for a decadent treat. You can get fresh clams and open them yourself and save the shells to reuse, or use large scallop shells which are easier to find, or even place in ramekins,… |
