This moist yet delicious coffe cake is made with whole wheat flour, oat bran, applesauce, peanut butter, chocolate chips and several kinds of dried fruits. It's great for breakfast or a healthy yet tasty snack with a cup of coffee or tea.

Kick up the cranberry sauce with some serious spice!! Thanks to AquaExerciser friend, Lorelyn, for another great cranberry relish recipe!

This version of the classic green bean casserole lightens the load without sacrificing the flavor or creaminess. Making your own french fried onions adds loads of crispy fried onion goodness.

Warm crab meat salad that's fit for Imperial guests.

Broccoli rabe or Rapini is slightly more bitter tasting than broccoli. Blanching one or two minutes in boiling water then refreshing in cold or ice water locks in the bright green color. This flavorful combination of Mediterranean seasonings really matches it well. If you can't find rapini you can use ordinary broccoli with equally outstanding results.

An easy and simply delicious salad.

Absolutely delicious! Roasted bell pepper, salted mushrooms, and spinach are an excellent combination, which works great with crispy phyllo pastry. Serve it as a main dish or an appetizer!

This classic favorite is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. No need to spend $3 for a slice at Starbucks, it's much better to make it yourself.

I added a little bit more honey, and the stuffed squashs were yummy.

Next time make your own sauerkraut instead of store-bought, it's so easy to make, and there is no comparison between this two versions. Homemade one tastes a lot better, I just made my second bunch. I finished the first bunch within 3 days :-)

The quinoa salad can be prepared in advance. Toasted quinoa is cooked with garlic and chopped apricots, tossed with this Moroccan Spiced Lemon Dressing. A delicious yet nutritious salad that can be served as a side or a main course.

The other day while we were watching Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, chefs were making flatbread, basically like pizza, just different shape, which really made my craving for pizza come back to life. Then start making this sun-dried tomato, olive and basil pesto flatbread, and it was so good...

My wife has an excellent recipe for White Bread brought to this country from her grandmother who was originally from Poland. Makes 5 loaves. Typically, this style of bread would be served with baked ham. However it can go with almost anything. Stale leftovers can make excellent French toast.
