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…

Homemade Manicotti by Nancy Miyasaki

This recipe is simple and absolutely delicious. It is a reasonable amount of work, so good to cook for a large party or family gathering. It is fun to prepare with a friend or relative, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand! I adapted this from a recipe cookoff I saw on the Food Network.

Jalapeno Pizza Bread by Karen Harris

I first discovered this recipe on one of our family trips to Maui. Longhi's on Front Street in Lahaina, is always our first and last restaurant stop while we are there. I purchased their cookbook and have enjoyed their famous appetizer every since. This is a great recipe to accompany soup, salad or a glass of wine and a gentle…

Shrimp and Spinach Gratin by Patrick Travis

This recipe is one I created when I could not find the main ingredient for a main dish I planed. I had most of the other ingredients so I improvised, changed a bit of this and substituted a bit of that.... The result was this delicious casserole. It's a one dish meal and very easy to prepare. If you like spicier food, add some…

The first time I made this dish, I was told "You can make this dish for me anytime!" This dish is even better warmed up the next day!

Pepperoni & Cashew Pizza by Peter Miller

This combination may sound strange, but it tastes wonderful! For that reason, because it's unusual and flavorful, this is always a hit at my pizza parties.

Ricotta Pie by molly11

We took the traditional Italian holiday dessert and brought the health benefits up a notch by adding blueberries. We also think the pie tastes better and looks more inviting. Drain the ricotta cheese if you are buying the cheese prepackaged.

Italian Monkey Bread by Patti Fisher

Serious sports fan friends of ours are making pasta for the big game. They’re calling it the “Spaghetti Bowl”. Sorry I couldn’t get the sauce recipe; they say it’s a family secret. They wanted something different than plain old garlic bread and Patti came up with this. This is easy to fix a day ahead and super easy with ready made…

Moroccan Chicken Pizza by Kate van Hilst

I was lucky enough to acquire a pizza oven for Christmas and have been busy exploring new flavours. This was Friday night's dinner and it was divine!

Eggplant Parmigiana by Carolinaheartstrings

Eggplants that are younger (more glossy) tend to have less seeds and are less bitter. At one time I had believed “gender” played a role in the presence of seeds but research I read recently explained that more seeds are an indication of age, NOT the eggplant being a “female”. Eggplants are self-pollinators and have both male and…
