Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread

Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread by Amos Miller

My paternal grandfather emigrated to the US in 1912 bringing with him his mother's family recipe for the incredibly delicious - almost cake-like - limpa of the southern Swedish countryside. I looked at every recipe for Swedish Limpa Bread on the C-E-S site. None of them are family recipes, although there is a rye bread recipe, it's…

Cocktail Rye Bread (with Bread Machine Dough-Making Option)

Cocktail Rye Bread (with Bread Machine Dough-Making Option) by Salad Foodie

For the freshest taste and earthy rye flavor, make your own cocktail rye bread to pair with appetizers at your next party. Redstaryeast.com gave me the inspiration, but I took liberties with their cocktail rye bread recipe by using my bread machine dough-making feature to save kneading energy and time. Baked in mini loaf pans, the…

Ciamelli ( Italian Bagels) pronounced chum-ell)

Ciamelli ( Italian Bagels) pronounced chum-ell) by J. Gino Genovesi

Ciamelli are like bagels and have a pleasant taste of anise with a burst of orange. They are of Italian origin, a solid bread, and a great favorite at holidays, especially at Christmas & New Years. In our family they were used as "dunkers"; dunk in wine, cocoa, or coffee. They brought smiles to our faces. Many of those who…

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…

Arroz con Pollo - Yellow Rice and Chicken

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…

Cheddar scalloped POTATO gratin simile DAUPHINOIS by Foodessa

Very high in flavour...very high on calorie reduction too! I’ve been trying desperately to replicate a 'Potato Dauphinois gratin'...The king of gratinées! After having made these scalloped potatoes...I think I’ve come darn close to realizing my simile version of this great dish. If I may...I'll call her the 'Queen' to her King…

Fresh Spinach Quiche

Fresh Spinach Quiche by Salad Foodie

Perfect for brunch or company, and one way to use up leftover fresh spinach. Use half Swiss cheese and half mozzarella if preferred. Do not bake pie shell well ahead of time as it needs to be hot or at least very warm when filling is poured in it.
