Pad Thai Noodle
Comments (4)
Pad Thai is often called the signature dish of Thai cuisine. There are several regional variations, indeed it has been said that Thailand has not only a different curry for every day of the year, but also a different pad Thai for every cook in Thailand! For a very simple, fast, easy-to-prepare Pad Thai, please click here for an instant version--you can start with that and add more ingredients to change the flavor as well.
White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Comments (3)
This is a self created recipe. I wanted a special cookie that was easy to make and this was the result. It would be ideal for the Christmas season but it’s simple enough to be made at any time. There is a chill time so you’ll need to plan ahead just a bit. If your anything like me the waiting might make you a little nuts but the cookies are worth it.I wasn't able to enter that this recipe willl make 5 dozen cookies or that the baking time is 6-8 mins.

Perfect dish to take to family gatherings, pot luck dinners, or even a picnic!
Peach Jam
Comments (2)
Peach jam is one of my favourites: sweet, chunky slices of peach suspended in syrup are delicious on crusty sourdough toast with lashings of unsalted butter.
Butter Rum Muffins
Comments (2)
The luscious taste of real butter and decadence of rum in a great treat for breakfast or even as a dessert!
Pumpkin Pie Fudge
Comments (2)
A great fall fudge to share with friends and family. If you like pumpkin pie and you like fudge, you'll love this marriage of the two! Let the kids chip in by helping to stir--they'll be fascinated by the boiling and change in texture as the fudge cooks.
Coleslaw

My favorite coleslaw recipe. The key to this recipe is finely chopping the ingredients.

Feel less guilty about eating a donut in the morning with this donut muffin recipe from Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford, VT; a BnBFinder listed inn.
Cheese (Fries) Please!
Comments (2)
French fries are one of my favorites foods, and the hardest to give up when I start dieting. This recipe for cheese fries gives me a lot of what I love with little guilt.
Wedge Salad
Comments (1)
This wedge salad is crisp and refreshing. The green apples gives some tartness, the bacon adds the salt, and the blue cheese adds some bite. The creamy garlic dressing is easy to make and really ties everything together. This salad can be a meal in itself, or can accompany any main dish. Yummy!
Judy's Pecan Pie
Comments (1)
One of my Aunt's friends, Judy, makes this wonderful pecan pie. She throws in some chocolate chips and they give it a little added sweetness. This pie is quick and easy to make, and will definitely become a favorite at your next family function.
Creamy Cole Slaw

Cole Slaw is a quick recipe that you can make as a side dish to go with any main course, whether it is barbecue, burgers, or just a nice club sandwich, this is sure to be the perfect partner. Creamy cole slaw would be perfect for an outdoor picnic as well. Try this simple version of an American classic today!
French Dressing
Comments (1)
My family loves French dressing. The tangy taste goes great with salads or meats, and is healthier than cream based dressings. This homemade dressing recipe comes from my Great Grandma, Lucille. You can prepare this recipe in just 20 minutes and store what you don't use. I hope you like it as much as my family does.
Mock Meat Balls
Comments (1)
This recipe is amazing! I made it while DH was out and very briefly dropped them into the deep fryer (that I haven't used in 2 1/2 yrs!) just to get them evenly browned all around. At that point I stashed them in the oven warmer and made the rest of dinner. When DH got home everything was almost ready and I served him "meatballs in mushroom sauce" on brown rice. He LOVED them and had no idea that they weren't beef! In subsequent makings I haven't bothered with the deep frying and we both enjoy them.
Apple Pie Kefir Ice Cream
Comments (1)
This past Thursday was my older child's first day of school. To celebrate, we went out for ice cream. As we walked from the car, we discussed what flavor he might like to have. His response was "pear!" I wasn't confident they would have such a gourmet flavor, so I mentioned that we could make our own pear ice cream sometime (though I'd never done it before!). On the way back to the car, after he'd enjoyed his scoop of mint chocolate chip and I my cookies 'n cream, we bought a 2 quart Cuisinart ice cream maker at Williams-Sonoma (which happened to be right where our car was parked - convenient!). When we got home, I immediately opened the box, washed the mixing bowl and put it in the freezer (it's filled with a fluid and needs to freeze completely before you can make your frozen treats). The next day, I decided to just go for it. But I did not have any pears. I examined my refrigerator and freezer and discovered: 1 bottle of vanilla low-fat kefir, 4 organic gala apples and some frozen all natural pie crust. So I decided to make: Apple Pie Kefir Ice Cream! My family LOVED it. Once completely frozen, it becomes quite hard, so if you plan to freeze and serve it another day, allow it to thaw for 5 minutes before serving, or make these into popsicles!
Lavender Scones
Comments (1)
What a delicious scone recipe. This was my first experience with lavender and I loved it! It originally ask for 1/3 cup of honey which I replaced with Splenda. They come out high, fluffy, moist and so tender. They aren't "sweet" but have a lovely rich flavor.
Tofu Pad Thai
Comments (1)
I've been on a wild romp to find ingredients for the perfect Pad Thai (the Thai restaurant I used to go to all the time was shut down by the Health inspector...awkward). I've tried tons and tons of recipes for Pad Thai, and this one I improvised is the one I wind up liking best. If you're either very strictly traditional or else extremely flexible, this might not be the recipe for you. But if you want it to taste the way they make it in restaurants here in the States, this is the closest I've been able to manage it. Here are the ingredients, where to find them, and what to do with them according to how I make my pad thai.
South of the Border Coffee

A delicious mild coffee to enjoy when to have the time to make and slowly enjoy it's full flavored pleasure.
Never Fail Dill Pickles
Comments (1)
These pickles are extra crispy and packed with flavor. Easy as 1...2...3, there will rarely be a commercial jar in your refrigerator ever again.
Crock Pot Ribs
Comments (1)
After looking up several rib recipes I decided they were too complicated and had too many steps. I made my own version. I bake them in the oven first for 15 minutes on each side and into the crock pot they go with a few simple ingredients. They fall off the bone, these are easy and fantastic! My husband doesn't like sauce dripping from the ribs so these don't have loads of sauce, but add as much as you like at the end!
Waffle House Style Waffles
Comments (1)
The distinctive "sweet" taste of the waffles made famous at Waffle House, that ubiquitous roadside 24 hour grill.
Buk Choy Noodle Salad
Comments (1)
This colorful, crunchy, sweet salad will always be the talk of the table. Everyone loves this salad and it seems I can't ever make enough as they all come back for a second serve.
Vanilla Cream Frosting
Comments (1)
This Vanilla Cream Frosting is delicious as is - you can even add food coloring to match your party theme. When you're in the mood for something a bit different I've included four variations that are delightfully different.
