Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option) by Salad Foodie

Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition. Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently. I freeze extra waffles for a quick into-the-toaster breakfast.…

Cranberry Cole Slaw by Linda Simon

Are you craving crunchy freshness right about now? When meltingly tender slow-cooked stews and soups predominate. They are welcome, but sometimes you want some bite-y food. And make that simple, quick, healthy, and low cal too, please. I like this lightly dressed and fat free. But you can easily add oil if you want to increase…

Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized Ginger by Smokinhotchef

Peaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many. This cobbler is a little more figure friendly in that there is only one crust as opposed to the traditional two. Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and…

Reuben Casserole by Glenn

I love Reuben sandwiches and wanted to have another way of enjoying this hearty treat. So I created this casserole using a homemade Thousand Islands dressing without the mayo. It takes some pre-planning but is very well worth it. Enjoy!

On a recent trip to visit a dear friend at Balboa Island near Newport Beach, we were taking a walk along the beach and came across a small vendor selling fresh vegetables. She had giant onions, had to weigh at least 2 pounds. The question came up of…

Banana-Nut Muffins by Robyn Savoie

Use ripe bananas and you'll be pleasantly surprised with extra-sweet, moist wholesome muffins. I found chocolate, banana and peanut butter go well together. Occasionally, I add a pleasant surprise before baking, Mini-Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Gently insert one into the center of each muffin, omit the chopped pecans.

Perfect Bread and Butter Pickles by Farrell May Podgorsek

Not too sweet and not too sour, these old-fashioned pickles are crisp and crunchy. " Better than Grandma's" is the comment I most often hear. They are great for snacking on and perfect on a hamburger or hot dog. Refrigerator pickles are quick to make and will last in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks. I use a mandolin style slicer…

Chipotle Mayonnaise #2 by Robyn Savoie

I prefer to make my own blend over the store bought. This mayonnaise is beautiful and flavorful; pale orange with intense orange flecks. It is delicious served with cold grilled beef, as a dip for raw vegetables or as a dressing for salads.

Mexican Corn and Potatoes by Robyn Savoie

In the Summer roast the fresh corn and while doing that roast those Serrano's. The additional smoky flavor will only enhance this. I like to serve this as side during a picnic because you can prepare this the day before. First, leave the onions raw. Spray a disposable aluminum pan with non-stick cooking spray. Toss all the…

Leftover mashed potatoes? Here's a great bread to use it up. Since I don't like the texture of caraway seed in my bread. I'll grind it in my coffee grinder. If you prefer, use the whole seed.
