	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.	1 vote 6141 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.

	Buttered Brussels Sprouts by Amanda Natividad Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Opponents of the vegetable swear it tastes like metal. Or worse, like feet. But when coated with the right vinaigrette, flash fried, or sautéed, Brussels sprouts have a complex richness, an earthy savoriness that fills your mouth. There’s nothing like it.	2 votes 4504 views

	Low Calorie and Delish, Coq au Vin by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox This is a wonderful low calorie and low fat version of the French classic chicken dish. The French pronunciation is kɔk o vɛ̃. It’s so easy and straightforward. I’ve served it many times and everyone loves it.

	Madeleines by Christine I had been longing to make madeleines or small French Sponge Cake for quite some time. All this while, I postponed the idea of making madeleines because I could not find the shell shaped molds typically designed for madeleines.

	Fondue - Gouda/Gruyere & Bacon by Michael Chen A really tasty (albeit decandent) fondue. I've done this for a cocktail party & for an X-mas appetizer. It always goes over well (though if only a few people, it will fill them up). The stirring in figure-eight is important, otherwise, the dipping foods are not (everything goes well dipped in cheese & bacon). How much flour to add…	1 vote 1 comment 8024 views
