Copper Carrots by Chef Smith

German Drop Cookies by Salad Foodie

Pecan-laden German Drop Cookies are reminiscent of Mexican wedding cookies, but I like these even better for the cinnamon-laced powdery topping. You can make ahead and freeze the dough if well wrapped, then thaw and bake at a later date. This recipe appeared in Relish Magazine a few years ago.

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…

Sour Cream Streusel Muffins by Salad Foodie

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.

Chocolate Chip, Coconut and Almond Cookies by Salad Foodie

Chocolate, coconut and almonds are the core of a favorite candy bar, and in this recipe the flavors and textures don't disappoint. A little soft, a little crunchy - they should please a variety of cookie monster palates in your family!

Best Crispy Waffles by Salad Foodie

This is my favorite recipe for a crisp waffle. If that’s the way you like them, don’t reduce the oil, cause that’s what makes them crispy! 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. Just add maple syrup, butter…

Favorite Oatmeal Muffins by Salad Foodie

No, not just my favorite oatmeal muffin, these are actually my Number 1 Favorite Muffin ~ period! I love that they are comparatively low-fat and won’t make your fingers greasy as you eat them. I love the chewy texture of oatmeal, the sweetness of raisins and cinnamon, and the spongy texture buttermilk imparts to baked products. I…

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!

Southwestern Waffles by Salad Foodie

What happens when salsa meets waffles? Fusion cuisine - a marriage of unexpected culinary elements! I was skeptical of how good this might be and was prepared to grab the agave nectar or honey and some butter just in case. But it was very good just as it is. If you like waffles and you like salsa, you'll probably like them together!

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.

Raspberry Topped Poppy Seed Cookies by Salad Foodie

A perfect dainty cookie for tea time, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or other special occasion. Buttery-rich, pretty and easy to make.

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.…

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.

Biscuits D'Roma by J. Gino Genovesi

Perfect addition to stews and soups, and great with sausage gravy. This recipe is an improved Italian recipe my mother used. They have a sweet flavor. They are great with butter and jelly on them for kids snacks
