Potatoes With Parsley and Garlic - Pommes Parsillade

Potatoes With Parsley and Garlic - Pommes Parsillade by John Spottiswood

The combination was…

Tarragon Grilled Chicken Fillets over Salad by John Spottiswood

This recipe is adapted from one in Steven Raichlen's BBQ USA, which he in turn borrowed from a restaurant in SOHO, Manhattan. The flattened and then grilled chicken was absolutely delicious. Almost unbeatable. The salad was a also very tasty, though we had to add a lot of extra greens to prevent the dressing from being too heavy. I've…

Crepes

Crepes by Jann from PA

Better than pancakes. Fewer carbs and a little more protein. Fill with berries or any fruit (thicken with a little cornstarch, if desired). Or, use savory fillings, like bean dip or salsa. Very easy and versatile. Can be frozen.

Fried Yellow Plantains

Fried Yellow Plantains by Yolanda Fernandez

Tostones Amarillos are fried yellow or (ripened) plantains. Yellow plantains are used in Latin cuisine as a side dish. Yellow plantains are often mistaken for bananas. They are not to be eaten raw--they must be cooked. Unlike green plantains, when used for Tostones Amarillos, yellow plantains do not need to be mashed and re-fried.

Creamy Italian Dressing

Creamy Italian Dressing by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe in Cuisine At Home. The original used much more sugar which I cut back on. I increased the amount of granulated garlic and added garlic pepper. I also added finely minced parsley for some color. The addition of sugar makes for a slightly sweet dressing. I used it on a main dish salad which had…
