Incredible Chocolate Chip Cookies by J. Gino Genovesi

We all know there are many recipes for chocolate chip cookies, with many things added to them. But for a soft, plump, cookie this one is the best I think. I have tried different chocolate chips recipes, but I was not happy with a flat, thin cookie.. Enjoy!

Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip by Amos Miller

Still snowed in and entertaining the stranded! So I tried another Ellie Krieger recipe for a game day or appetizer dip option. Even though Ellie is a registered dietician and a very dedicated health nut, I still like her recipes! Anyway, I love roasted sweet peppers and, having 3 reds on hand, some crumbled feta cheese and a lemon I…

A light summer luncheon salad with a yogurt dill dressing. Serve as the main attraction or as a side dish. Substitute light sour cream for the yogurt if you wish, and/or tuna or chicken for the shrimp.

Aunt Birdie’s Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Two Versions) by Salad Foodie

This recipe brings fond memories of a favorite aunt who was a terrific cook. (My cousin and I used to say the only thing we wanted when Aunt Birdie passed away was her recipe box!) The recipe works equally well as a Bundt cake or as a 9" x 13" cake. This is the only sour cream coffee cake recipe I’ve ever seen that starts with a…

Amazing Zucchini Pie by Salad Foodie

I came by this recipe from the Parents Action for Children web site, and as the name suggests, it is indeed “amazing.” Rather like a brunch quiche, this is one delicious way to serve summer’s bounty of zucchini. To simplify prep time, use a commercially prepared crust. Then just add a tossed salad and fruit for dessert!

Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes by Salad Foodie

I am enamored with pasta, tomatoes and basil recipes and have tried out several. This one is from Cook's Country (April/May 2015) and indeed has robust tomato flavors by roasting them! See Useful Links below for an earlier posted and similar recipe that we liked well too.

Apricot Walnut Squares (A Bar Cookie) by Salad Foodie

CRUNCHY, CHEWY and MOIST. That sums up this pleasing amber-color bar cookie. The bottom crust gets extra crunch from bran cereal, while the top layer combines apricots and walnuts. This one-bowl recipe will be quick on cleanup, and that will give you more time to savor this unusual treat.

Red Cabbage Coleslaw by Salad Foodie

Think outside the box for your next slaw with this creamy deep red cabbage version. The dried cranberries are camouflaged by the cabbage color and provide a pleasant sweet taste surprise, while walnuts add extra crunch.

Skinny Shredded Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches, No Crock Pot Needed by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

I’ve trimmed the fat and calories by making the coleslaw with a skinny dressing and using a 100 calorie, fiber rich, sandwich thin for the bun. The skinny for 1 sandwich, only 238 calories, 4 grams of fat and 6 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. If you’re…

Potluck Cheeseburger Mac by Patti Fisher

We were invited to a potluck at our community center and asked what we should bring. The resounding vote was: meat! Spending the afternoon with our friends and neighbors is always fun and we wanted to do something everyone would love. We mixed lots of super lean, top quality ground beef with sharp cheddar cheese and elbow macaroni.…

Rhubarb and Strawberry Layered Delight by Salad Foodie

OMGoodness - this trifle-like beauty will steal the show at your next dinner or event. Don't let the 3 layer preparation turn you away, because you can make & bake the shortbread crust and chop the rhubarb the night before, then prepare the middle cream cheese filling and the fruit topping next day. Allow 2 to 3 hours of chilling time…

Ellie's Black Bean & Chipotle Dip by Amos Miller

Thanks to Ellie Kreiger for this healthy and zippy dip - just the thing on a day when you're cooped up, watching movies or a sporting event. It comes together quickly and is ready to enjoy with your favorite chips. I like it as a side with Chicken Enchiladas Suizas.
