Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad

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.

Coconut Pecan Cookies

Coconut Pecan Cookies by Salad Foodie

A search on the Internet for a coconut pecan cookie recipe brought a few candidates forward and fortunately the first I tested was a slam-dunk. This is chewy, somewhat crunchy and divinely coconutty. I stayed very close to the original and glad it turned out so well. Kudos to Mike at his betterbaking.com blog for this toothsome…

Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes and Cilantro Sauce

Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes and Cilantro Sauce by Salad Foodie

A dear friend prepared this for us and it's become our prized way of enjoying salmon fillets. She calls it Salmon Supreme, but I call it Salmon Divine! Tomatoes, onion, garlic and cilantro cook down to make the savory sauce for grilled salmon. Serve atop your choice of rice or pasta and add a side of bright vegetables or salad.

Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard Sauce

Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard Sauce by Salad Foodie

Salmon can be dressed up for company or simply broiled or grilled plainly and be equally divine. This treatment features a crunchy crust of pecans atop the fillet, which is baked on a bed of spinach. *Next time I will steam the spinach separately to have more control of its doneness as on my first go-round it was overbaked (but the…

Coconut Kisses by Salad Foodie

Think macaroon with a chocolate kiss - a match made in heaven. These will disappear fast on your valentine cookie tray. Be sure to have chocolate kisses unwrapped and ready to pop onto cookie tops when removed from oven.

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

Moist and chewy, these will help satisfy your choco-holic inclinations. Baking chocolate rather than cocoa gives a richer color and flavor than cocoa, and coconut help keep them moist.

Chewy Crunchy Double Chocolate Brownies

Chewy Crunchy Double Chocolate Brownies by Salad Foodie

These brownies are my all-time favorite. They have two unusual ingredients: brown sugar and coconut, which add interesting taste variations and make them more moist than run-of-the-mill brownies. Be sure not to over-bake. They will be done in 20-25 minutes if using a bright aluminum pan; adjust time or temperature appropriately if…

A personal-size coffee cake in a muffin - these are seriously addicting! Increase the streusel topping if you’re crazy about the heavenly crunch on top (1 ½ times streusel topping ingredients should do it.) Be prepared for these gems to disappear quickly.

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…
