Cranberry Walnut Cabbage SlawThis recipe was a top winner in Better Homes & Gardens August 1999 monthly recipe contest and I have made it ever since. It's fits well with a Thanksgiving, Christmas, holiday theme with the dried cranberries and walnuts, and the red and green color combos, but I make it year-round. I especially like the snappy dressing. |

Carrot Peanut Salad or Lettuce WrapReminiscing with family recently the conversation turned to memories of mom’s cooking, and one recipe we loved as children: Carrot Peanut Salad. Four simple ingredients make for a crunchy and healthy salad. I gave it a try inspired by my taste bud memories of long ago and came up with a close rendition. While dishing it up the… |

Classic Vegetable Stew (Soup)When the craving for veggie soup overtakes me I get the soup pot out and make this classic vegetable stew. The chopping is therapy for my soul, and the taste makes the effort all worthwhile. For a more substantial soup, I often add extras such as black beans and leftover chicken, pork or beef . |

Poached PearsA favorite fall dessert or breakfast fruit when pears are in season. This is a Better Homes and Garden Cookbook recipe, and the only liberty I take at times is to replace part or all of the sugar with Splenda (depending on guests and their diet requirements.) I often double the recipe (and 4 x the poaching liquid) and store pears in… |

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick!I haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen. |

Asparagus AlmandineFrom the description of this recipe reads: "Something magical happens when asparagus meets almonds and lemon. Crispy nuts, tart citrus and ... asparagus combine to make a taste sensation. This side dish is elegant for any entertaining party, but easy enough for any ordinary meal." I made half the recipe following instructions and… |

Chile Rellenos SouffléIf you're craving a chile relleno fix, give this light south-of-the-border layered soufflé a try. I looked at several recipes then came up with my own combination and it fits my need for a guilt-free alternative. To save time use canned whole green chiles, or char your fresh garden ones if desired. One batch makes 4 generous-size… |

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & HerbsEggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late… |

Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Mushroom SauceA great recipe for week nights because it uses purchased prepared spaghetti sauce - yet this dish tastes anything but blah. Be sure not to overcook the squash because part of the uniqueness is the crunchy texture of the "noodles". Of course you can substitute your own spaghetti sauce recipe using your garden fresh tomatoes and basil… |

Cheese balls!Today I share one of the “Doña Anadina’s” (my sous chef’s mother) golden recipes. She’s one of my most faithful and constant advisors in the kitchen. Doña Anadina is a master of the flour and dough and even knowing this, I should say that she outdid herself this time. The “little chefs” (and me, I cannot deny it) took good care… |

Sweet Zucchini PicklesToo many zucchini - what to do? A recipe by Chuck Allen (Palm Springs) caught my eye. Expectations are high from this retired chef, so he takes this recipe as a hostess gift. It is as colorful as it is delicious and lasts about 6 weeks refrigerated. The only thing I added was small cauliflowerettes. What an attractive conversation… |
