Dried cranberries/2 recipes

This isn't your ordinary Mom's or Campbell's over-salted Chicken Noodle Soup. Udon noodles, lemongrass, and mushrooms take the soup to the next level.

As I do not own a bread machine, I adapted this recipe to make in my KitchenAid stand mixer using the dough hook. I kept the igredients basically the same, with the exception of adding 1 1/2 Tbs. honey. I baked it in a 9" x 5" loaf pan.

Sprouted some bean sprouts last week, meanwhile I had some colorful bell peppers needed to be used up, then this was the quick-easy stir-fry I put together.

The classic German dessert, buttery and rich with apples, raisins and almonds.

Everyone will love this rustic country dish of creamy leek and potato soup cooked in a pressure cooker.

My version of this classic Italian dish. This is a very interesting recipe. Actually I've tried this already and I was very impressed by its taste. Try this too so that you will experience the goodness of this dish.

This is easy to make and everyone loved it when I brought it for Thanksgiving dinner. Had several requests so I made it again for Christmas dinner.

A moist, delicious sponge cake enjoyed at any time

Old Fashioned Salmon Loaf recipe

My family of 3 boys and my husband refuse to eat anything "healthy"...well I made this tvp chili, but did not tell them what was in it. Well between the 4 of them they finished the pot. So excellent!! Easily used to "fool" non vegetarians!

Crunchy sweet apples and savory celery with bits of sweet dried cranberry and toasted walnuts are tossed with a refreshing and tasty lemon dressing.

The flavor was amazing, the aroma during the cooking filled up our entire house. We used chicken broth instead of beef broth and water, and it made a very tasty base for the soup. A few slices of good bread was all we served with this soup. YUM!

If you want to have some fun with bread, then try this scrumptious recipe with bits of sun-dried tomato and cheese that makes pull-apart fun and delicious.

A simple, but scrumptious broccoli salad that is the perfect substitute for when you're tired of the same old leaf lettuce side dish.
