Chinese Almond Cookies by Salad Foodie

A basic and delicious version of the popular Chinese cookie - minus the lard! I prefer sliced almonds throughout the dough rather than the single almond on top as we often see on those at Chinese buffets.

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!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies by Salad Foodie

Zucchini cookies much like pumpkin cookies tend to have a cake-like texture rather than crisp or crunchy from the extra moisture of the vegetable.

Italian Pasta and Vegetable Salad by Salad Foodie

This pasta salad has a nice texture balance of smooth to crunchy, plus the tart-sweet of red wine vinegar and lemon pepper in the dressing. It makes PLENTY and is always a hit at gatherings. Leftovers keep well refrigerated.

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.

Whole Grain Pita Bread by Salad Foodie

Out of pita bread one day and too lazy to go shop, I decided to haul out the bread machine and make pita bread dough. The recipe is whole grain, but not 100%.
