Artichokes! Either you love them or you hate them! I love them! I like them both Stuffed or Unstuffed, but more often I make them unstuffed so I don’t get so full from the stuffing and can have more leaves! I love the leaves as much as the heart! Here are two recipes, one for the Unstuffed and one for the Stuffed version. I have…
ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS and 3 CALORIES or 1 WW Point! This is a delicious, different, refreshing Jell-O recipe! It has applesauce and whole berry cranberry sauce added in! I love the taste! Love the texture, too! It is VERY QUICK and EASY to make! NOTE: I happen to like the Jell-O brand, but you can use any brand of gelatin you like. Try it,…
Both SWEET AND SOUR, this cucumber salad is a favorite! We have it throughout the year, not just in the summer! It is low in calories, too. My husband Bill asks for this often. This recipe serves even more than 8 so it’s good for a party. Usually I cut the recipe in half for 2 or 4 people. It is a great way to…
Sautéed apples are a nice change from applesauce! And they are so easy and super fast to make! I have added other fruit to this recipe for variety. Instead of 4 apples, I have used 2 apples and 2 pears, or 2 apples and 2 peaches. One picture shown is with blueberries that I added at the end. It will all come out delicious with…
ISRAELI SALAD is famous not only in Israel but in New York. You can find many versions of Israeli Salad in delis and restaurants here. It is just little cubes of diced vegetables ( your choice! ) with lemon juice and an olive oil/vinegar Italian dressing. No lettuce of any kind and no creamy dressing! It is soo good! So healthy too! And only 76…
Mac & Cheese, Stovetop Style is my favorite way to make it. Quick and easy, creamy, and so good! No need to buy the boxed kind, when you most likely have some cheese, butter, and milk in the house! Enjoy! INGREDIENTS: 1/2 pound elbow pasta, or any pasta you like 1/4 cup butter (half a stick) 6 tablespoons flour (half of 3/4 cup) 1/2 teaspoon…
The popular Strawberry Spinach Salad recipe has made the rounds in restaurants and fast food places and it is delicious! It has quickly become a classic and is here to stay! There are many, many variations of it! I am sure a lot of people have made it or tasted it already. If not, give it a try! It has an amazing sweet and…
This latke recipe is a basic one, simple and easy to make but very, very tasty as is! Homemade is much better than than the ones you make from a box mix. I like to eat latkes with applesauce on the side. People like them as appetizers too. Latkes are traditionally served at Hanukkah with applesauce or sour cream but everyone eats them all year round! …
From Allrecipes….I tried!… We liked!… I recommend! I adapted these just a bit and they are really delish! My husband Bill raved about them! These Zucchini Patties, or you can call them Zucchini Fritters, make a great side dish, appetizer, or a little snack! You can substitute the red peppers for any other vegetable you like or use just the zucchini. …
Forget using chicken stock with seafood bisques or soups! Use FISH STOCK! Boil the shrimp and lobster together and use that liquid for your bisque. It definitely makes a world of a difference in my opinion! And this bisque is not hard to make at all! You can use this with any fish or combination of fish you like, as long as one of your…
Waldorf Salad, that simple mixture of apples, raisins, walnuts, and celery, with a slightly sweet, sour cream dressing has been a favorite for generations! It originated at the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York in 1893. Waldorf Salad shouldn’t be swimming in a lot of dressing, and this recipe doesn’t do that. I like the using different color apples and dark raisins for contrast. It is…
We order French onion soup very often when we eat out, and Bill says this homemade version is the best he’s ever had! You can enjoy gourmet French onion soup at home! Do not be intimidated by it at all! It is not hard! If I cut the recipe in half to make 3 instead of 6, I use the microwave instead of…
My Mom used this old stuffing recipe from the box of Bell’s Seasoning and to me, no other stuffing is as good as this one! She said it was the Bell’s that made it so good! I agree! The Bell’s Seasoning company started in 1867 so this has passed the test of time! I usually season things myself and don’t buy pre-seasoned anything except…
This memorable old-fashioned, now heirloom ambrosia salad has made an appearance at every family BBQ for longer than I care to remember! It is made with sour cream and not Cool Whip or yogurt like some ambrosia recipes I’ve seen. I love sour cream! I could eat a spoonful right from the container! It has just the right combination of fruit and it’s so easy to put together in just a few…
Servings: 8 Makes: 4 cups Cook Time: 10 minutes POLENTA , a yellow cornmeal made CHEF ALTON BROWN’S WAY is unusual and foolproof to get it soft and creamy the way I like it! I had never seen it done his way! It guarantees me a perfectly soft texture without any clumps! Cornmeal tends to clump more than cream of…
