From an old BBS food forum. I used the smallest jarred oysters I could find in the fresh seafood section, but the recipe called for fresh, shucked oysters. With the bagged spinach e-coli scare, use a fresh...
I got this recipe from my sister-in-law. A nice quick meal for a day when you don't have a lot of time for prep. Added bonus: the kids LOVE it. Don't know why, but my kids devour this! Enjoy! *NOTE: I...
The other night I wanted pasta and beans, but not like a soup. I looked through some recipes and nothing was quite what I wanted -- so I threw this together, and it rocked! You can vary the herbs according...
Serve these mashed potatoes as a delicious side dish. You can serve it with a roast, with poultry, with a steak even with fish! ;) This dish is tasty enough to eat alone with a green salad! This is a perfect...
No chopping required for this weeknight dinner. Just blend spinach, kale, basil, and garlic with feta, cream cheese, and olive oil to make a fresh, rich sauce that wraps itself around pasta.
The best Vegetarian tacos I have ever had! Don't let the veggies fool you these are hearty with extraordinary flavor. Found this recipe on a website a few years back...it is credited to Rick Bayless, from...
From a daily cookbook but I pulled it out and tossed the book a long time ago. It says that blanching takes the "bite" out of the cauliflower. Chilling the cauliflower longer, only enhances the flavor....
This is a copycat version of the Italian Wedding Soup served at Olive Garden on rare occasions. Can be made vegetarian by removing the meatballs and using vegetable stock. Add mushrooms and thin strips...

These are so yummy! I found this recipe in one of my Southern Living Annual recipe cookbooks. It called for corn tortillas but we like flour tortillas better. If you like spinach, you'll love these!
This stunning bread gets its branch-like form by taking a shaping cue from the classic French baguette bread, Pain d'Epi (a.k.a. wheat stalk bread). Use sharp scissors to cut the dough and gently move...
Simple and delicious. Add some fresh bread on the side, and this becomes a nice, light meal. From the country of Azerbaijan. Recipe adapted from AZ Cookbook.

Puff pastry is so fun to cook with! I like to make this as an appetizer. Puff pastry always looks so elegant and guests always give me a "How did you make this" reaction. It also makes a great lunch on...
