Chicken Teriyaki Stir FryThis recipe was featured in "30 Minute Meals" (Rachael Ray Magazine 6/15) and we agreed it's a keeper. I didn't meet the half hour timeline though, because while the cooking is fast, there's measuring and chopping to accomplish. Nevertheless I think you'll enjoy serving this healthy and satisfying stir fry. Note: Beef or pork would… |

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross CookiesPeanut butter cookie recipes abound, but none of them came close to rekindling memories of the favorite from my youth - until I came across this one in an Old Farmer's Almanac. The first batch I made convinced me the recipe was the one from my early baking years. Ah - answered prayers! |

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… |

Ham, Peas & Pasta SaladA 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. |

Top of the Line Banana Nut BreadThis bread is light and tender yet firm,, and has a mixture of flavors appealing to the taste buds. I began cooking at any early age and mostly used family recipes. However, over the years I have tried many bread recipes and eventually came up with this one. The blend of orange and lemon is satisfying. |

Yogurt Pancakes with BlueberriesLight and sublime, these pancakes are perfect for summer’s bounty of blueberries. Whole wheat pastry flour is recommended and gives the most tender results, but all purpose flour works fine too. I used Greek plain yogurt but regular yogurt or sour cream can be subbed. |

Green Bean, Carrot and Mushroom MedleyA quick-to-fix green bean side dish or vegetarian main dish. I like to use my steamer for the beans and carrots, but they could also be boiled briefly and drained. This makes a beautiful presentation with interesting flavor combinations. The real trick is getting the seasoning right. Experiment with your favorite herb combinations,… |
