Guacamole by Beth Roan

Thank goodness colors have changed since the 70's. Remember when guacamole green was the color of most people's kitchens?? My sister and her boyfriend had a guacamole cook-off and Kyle's was the winner. I had been scared of guacamole ever since I was about 8. I finally decided to try it and I have to say it was way better than what I…

Cream cheesie corn by Glenn

I was given the chore of coming up with a new side dish for Thanksgiving. I like corn--particularly when I am eating. I like cream cheese--only when I am eating. Voila, an idea is born. It is easy to make and was rated OMG by my very picky family. There may be ways to improve it but here is an instant classic.

Scalloped Corn and Tomatoes by Glenn

Westinghouse and Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. put out a cookbook to sell their new electric range and oven in the 1930s. This is one of the recipes made to stand alone.

Artichokes with Sour Cream Curry Soy Dip by Bob Vincent

This recipe is adapted from The Spice Islands Cook Book published in 1961. My Mom had the book and relied on many of the recipes frequently.

Squash Caserole by Kerri Bishop

This recipe is very close to Boston Market's squash casserole. We have always loved this side at the restaurant, but they only have it during the holidays. We made this for Christmas and everyone raved about it. It is really easy to halve the recipe. We have had lots of requests for this recipe. I'd be willing to bet you'll love…

Butter Lettuce and Avocado salad with Citrus Vinaigrette by John Spottiswood

I'm a sucker for fresh butter lettuce with citrus and avocado. I adapted this recipe (rather major adaptions) from a recipe in the America's Test Kitchen Menu's cookbook. I thought the salad, and the dressing in particular, was just amazing. The mayo, Dijon and honey balance nicely with tanginess of the tangerine juice. If you are…
