Calzone di cipolla alla pugliese by Frank Fariello

This dish brings back some of my fondest childhood food memories. Calzone di cipolla, or onion pie, is one of the signature dishes of the cuisine of Puglia. My grandfather Lorenzo hailed from a small town outside of Bari, the capital of Puglia, called Grumo Appula. His sister, whom we called Zia Angelina (not to be confused with my…

Smoked Mozzarella Naan Bread Pizza by Nanette

My favorite homemade pizza is made on Garlic Naan Bread. It's made with fire-roasted garlic, cilantro and ghee (clarified butter). Since it's baked in a tandoor oven this flatbread has a smoky taste and a light char. It's a quick bake approx. 10 min. Any combination of veggies, meats and cheeses can be used. This is a delicious…

Pasta with Grape or Cherry Tomatoes by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a great pasta from an island off the coast of Italy that I adapted from Giada de Laurentiis. The roasting of the tomatoes and capers with the bread crumbs makes for flavorful and original pasta. I've served this with and without basil, and prefer it with basil though it is delicious either way.

Whole Grain Pita Bread by Salad Foodie

Out of pita bread one day and too lazy to go shop, I decided to haul out the bread machine and make pita bread dough. The recipe is whole grain, but not 100%. Still it's a notch up nutritionally from regular white pita bread. Makes 1 1/2 pounds, or ten pita breads. One serving is half of a pocket bread so theoretically the recipe…

Baked Carrot Frittata by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

First of all, this recipe isn’t vegan. As you know I am not totally vegan and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be. I love eggs and in my opinion there is absolutely nothing unhealthy about eggs as long as they’re from hens that were not given any growth hormones or that were not fed with chemicals. Fortunately, I have a family friend…

Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon) by Salad Foodie

A perfect way to boost nutrition in mashed potatoes, this is a favorite Irish side dish but can certainly appear at Oktoberfest in late September with bratwurst or sauerbraten. I like the subtle crunch and texture cabbage provides, and using red potatoes and leaving the skins on, adds extra color and nutrition. (An optional version…

Fresh Kale w/ garlic by Evil Fairy

This is so simple and taste wonderful. When you blanch it first it seems to have a sweeter flavor to it. It's even good cold. You can do this dish with any Fresh Greens. Spinach is amazing this way...just add a pinch of nutmeg to it. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese is a good touch Great as a side dish to Quiche

Spanakopita Dip by Denise Sherin

So yummy! Great for parties and get togethers. Original recipe is posted here but I leave out the dill because I am not a big fan of dill. Serve with fresh pita bread, toasted pita chips or your favorite dippers breads, crackers or veggies.
