Classic Potato Salad & An Unscientific Potato Challenge by Salad Foodie

For the heck of it on a dull afternoon we put the “scientific method” to the taste test to determine the best potatoes for potato salad. There were only 3 varieties on hand to test: russet, red, and Yukon Gold. One-half pound of each were cooked just till tender, drained, cooled and cubed. The recipe selected was Classic Potato…

Turkey Kebabs with Mango Pineapple Salsa by Salad Foodie

A healthy poultry main dish with exotic flair, Turkey Kebabs (or kabobs) is a great way to incorporate veggies and fruits with a smaller amount of meat. A bed of brown rice makes a perfect accompaniment. I would make this recipe in a heartbeat to taste the fruity salsa again - it makes this meal irresistible! Beef, lamb or chicken…

Fat Boy Burger by Patti Fisher

Fat Boy Burger is fat on flavor! A ½ lb. juicy, delicious burger topped with two kinds of cheese, grilled onions and lots of bacon. We love “Big Burgers”, never get tired of them.

Oat Pecan Praline Cookies by Salad Foodie

Chewy, slightly soft texture with a hint of caramel pecan, these attractive cookies make a nice snack for company with coffee, tea or milk. Sometimes we bakers just have to break out of the oatmeal-raisin cookie rut, and these certainly do!

Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience. My pasta choice for this is ditalini, a small pasta often used in soups (this can be hard to locate but Barilla sells a one pound box.) Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies by Salad Foodie

Zucchini cookies much like pumpkin cookies tend to have a cake-like texture rather than crisp or crunchy from the extra moisture of the vegetable. In this recipe the cookies come closer to a crisp/chewy texture through (1) extra draining step of the zucchini and (2) pressing the cookies down on cookie sheet before baking.
