For the freshest taste and earthy rye flavor, make your own cocktail rye bread to pair with appetizers at your next party.

Ciabatta Bread I

Ciabatta Bread I by Salad Foodie

The first of two ciabatta bread recipes I am trying out - this first one is from Fleischmann's Yeast. It is rated "Advanced" in difficulty and I agree! It was challenging and involved - plan to be around much of the time of day you make it, as there are four 45 minute risings to supervise. The dough is tricky and sticky. I did like…

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…

Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon)

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…
