Recipe Sifter

Chock full of beef and loads of veggies that suck up the flavor of the red wine, herbs and garlic. Make up a large batch on the weekend and freeze in individual portions in zipper bags for up to 3 months.

An easy asparagus and ham main dish. Asparagus, ham and swiss cheese baked with Bisquick into a fluffy and flavourful dinner.

First time to make my own pita bread, and I was shocked by how they beautifully puffed. Then I realized it was not hard at all to make your own. Whole wheat flour gave extra tangy flavor, definitely well worth the efforts and will make my own pita bread from now on :)

Moosewood gazpacho: cold Spanish-style tomato soup with cucumber, red pepper, garlic, fresh herbs, and lime. Iconic vegetarian no-cook summer recipe.

Super easy peasy and pucker baked carrots. This recipe is close to the one that Jamie Oliver prepared in Season 2 of his Naked Chef show, I think the episode was "A bun in the oven".

A hearty German style black bread recipe for your bread machine.

Why bother making Jello when you can try this rich pudding made of bananas and vanilla wafers.

This is my rendition of a recipe from an old Campbell's Soup cook book.

Libby's pumpkin pound cake is a dense, buttery loaf with canned pumpkin folded into a classic creamed-butter batter. No spice rack required, just clean pumpkin flavor in a tender crumb that holds up to a sugar glaze.

Loaded with fruit, protein, grains and nuts. Yummy and chock full of nutrients. Grab n' go power bars.

Layers of seasoned ground beef, corn tortillas, ricotta cheese, and melted Monterey Jack create this Tex-Mex spin on lasagna. Comfort food mashup that feeds a crowd.

Along the coast of the Southern US eating Hoppin' John on New Year's Day is thought to bring a year filled with luck and prosperity. The beans symbolize coins or pennies. Sometimes a penny is added to the pot or can be left under the bowls of Hoppin' John. Greens such as Collards, chard or kale can be added and symbolize the color of money and are said to add to ones wealth in the new year. The day after New Year's Day the leftovers are called "Skippin' Jenny," and further demonstrates one's frugality. A common tradition in the south US is each person at the meal should leave three peas on their plate to ensure the New Year will be filled with Luck, Fortune and Romance. Another tradition holds that counting the number of peas in a serving predicts the amount of luck (or wealth) that will be collected over the next year.

Every year around summer, this recipe always pops out. Finally made the words into the cake, and it actually turned out moist and delicious. Just finished the final piece earlier this morning for breakfast, with freshly brewed coffee. Very good. Do you like figs and what's your favorite way to enjoy it? Please share your great ideas with us :-)

My sister was kind enough to share her wonderful recipe with me. Serve over any type of cooked pasta.

A crispy not soggy coating highlights this quick and easy rendition of pan-fried pork chops.
