We lived in Des Moines from 1974-76 and discovered Bishop's Cafeteria at Merle Hay Mall. Anytime we had out-of-town guests, they always wanted to dine there. And of course, everybody had to have a slice...
This is from "Donna" at the All Recipes web site. This is my FAVORITE potato salad. If you do not care for the tangy mustard flavor of regular potato salad, give this one a try. It is creamy, with the...
We found this recipe in his amazing cookbook and off his cooking show. This is made for Beer can chicken, but can also be used on ribs. I hate salt,so I never use it in this recipe, but if you are salt...
An excellent way to use up leftover cornbread. These are great on salads and soups and are especially good on Tex-Mex recipes. They can be dressed up with your favorite seasonings if desired.
The pickling spices in the market are very expensive. This makes 4 cups and can be divided if you only need a little. Package leftovers for your friends.
Yummy appetizers. You can make up a tray with these, or use your imagination and use bologna or other meats. If I use bologna, I add a tablespoon of mustard to the cheese spread.
Most simple, most delicious cranberry jello salad. This was my mother's recipe and has become a tradition for my family. I serve it as a side dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner every year.
I was looking for cool summer salad and found this one on the internet. This turned out really good although next time I may use Cool Whip instead of the cream cheese, since my hubby is not a big fan of...
This is the original way to make Mamaliga, the Romanian polenta. When my parents were growing up this was the staple food and bread was not something they were eating everyday. I remember my grandmother...
The best pie crust recipe I've found. Remember to use ice-cold water, and not to fiddle around with the dough too much and your crust will turn out flakey and wonderful.
I combined a few recipes to come up with this. The dressing is so good. I used 1 TBS wasabi paste, which makes it a little spicy, so reduce amount if you like less spicy.
So here is the story behind me and mushy peas. I love peas, but I don't like mushy peas (like the kind that come out of a can mushy, not like this recipe mushy), so when I read about mushy peas and fish...
This is the famous Red Cabbage Salad served at the Northwoods Inn. I found this recipe in the Los Angeles Times Newspaper in 1990 - developed by the Times Test Kitchen, in 1990. It's based on the salad...

My mother made this every holiday. I think the original is supposed to be layered. I am not sure. I just mix it all together and let things fall as they may. She didn't have a food processor, so I don't...
I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with...
I have researched and tried many different variations. Mysterygirl's recipe was as close as I could find. I started with her recipe and made a few changes, I believe the key to it is the cumin seed. When...
From Woman's Day. Quick and easy, nice with pasta or rice. Use your own pesto or refrigerated pesto sauce from the market. I think this would also make a nice first-course,
The original recipe comes from Harumi Kurihara. Using the scallops normally available in the US, I had some problems with amount of sauce in her original recipe and I altered to work better for me. The...
This came from Bon Appetit and is just superb!!! I can't stress how wonderful this marinade is!!! It originally calls to be a beef marinade, but I think would be good with pork or chicken, too.

This is a recipe that I've had forever and is still an oldie but goodie. You can find this in the cold cuts section of your grocery. It definitely has it's own distinct taste and is described as a smoked...
Meat cooked this way is quick, simple and totally delicious. Rubbing the top of the meat with a garlic clove as it cooks is a tasty little trick. You're watching the meat cook anyway, so you may as well...
