	Italian Meatballs by Salad Foodie Years ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of…	16 votes 5 reviews 8 comments 51358 views
	Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti by Salad Foodie Cheese-stuffed manicotti personifies comfort food anytime, but take it up a notch with a cheese four-some and Italian sausage and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. This was inspired by a few pasta manufacturer web site recipes, but I added my own spin here and there and was pleasantly surprised how well they worked. Oh Mama-Mia, this…	1 vote 3 comments 6910 views
	Arroz con Pollo - Yellow Rice and Chicken by Salad Foodie Spanish, Cuban, South American - a traditional and popular ethnic dish, this ranks among my all time favorites and is comfort food at its best! Most often accompanied by black beans (see link) and green peas. Rice takes on a yellow cast from that most expensive of all herbs - saffron. My mom-in-law used a flavoring packet called Vigo…	2 votes 1 review 13824 views

	Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs by Salad Foodie Italian-American in origin, this soup was really misnamed. “Wedding soup” is a mistranslation of the Italian language for 'minestra maritata', a reference to the fact that greens and meat go well together. (Well that’s a good marriage isn’t it?) I looked at several recipes of this popular soup, selected aspects of a few, added some…	2 votes 2 comments 15729 views
	French Bread by Bread Machine by Salad Foodie This recipe requires the French Bread setting on my bread machine, best suited for bread doughs low in fat and sugar; this results in a crisp crust and coarse, chewy exterior. (It is similar to the Whole Wheat setting though not identical.....but just might work.) However if neither are available on your machine you could use the…	1 vote 16395 views
	Yummy Nutritious and Sugar Free Dessert by Nathan Willow I was reading "Little Women" the other day where the family maid, Hannah, was preparing a cake recipe made from really obsolete ingredients. Afterwards, there was a scene where the four sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy were all tending their respective plots in their tiny garden of their small rented house. My train of thought switched…	1 vote 3 comments 16247 views

Serve with any number of entrees, salads, soups, use as sandwich bread or as a base for a variety of focaccia toppings. Recipe will serve 8 conservatively but who stops at one conservative serving of homemade focaccia? Better double the recipe and be sure you'll have enough! The dough setting of a…	1 vote 1 comment 8996 views
	Gino's Noodle Dough by J. Gino Genovesi Noodles, in many forms, have been a staple food in many parts of the world for centuries. China, Japan, Italy all take credit for creating the noodles. However, the earliest records appear in a book written between AD25 to 220 in China. No matter the origin, noodles have been a staple food, relatively cheap, quick to prepare and…	2 votes 1 comment 6734 views

	Vegetable Lasagna by Salad Foodie Lasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 13967 views
