My friend Sirisha, from South India, introduced me to this. It is great! I like it hot and cold. There are several versions on 'zaar, but this one has stronger spices than most. It is somewhat hot, but...

This was a recipe shown on "Ten Dollar Meals". Looked to so simple but tasty, so posting for safe keeping. I made this and liked it made the way it was but felt it could be a little more flavorful. Next...
Another recipe from my "Gifts in a Bag" recipe book. Because this one uses parmesan cheese I never give it in a bag, or jar. I'm afraid the cheese will mold before it is used. Usually I give all these...
Always on the lookout for a good vegetarian recipe, I found this in Joy of Cooking. The whole family loved it -- even my picky husband -- and it's a good way to use up the lentils I always have left over...
We ate this growing up and my sister in law that's vegetarian loves them too. You don't even miss the beef, or you can add it along with the rest of the ingredients if you'd like. Also a favorite with...

Next to the Bubble Yum Drink, this is my favorite! It reminds me of the cherry lime frozen pops that Minutemaid carries. (I use the limeade can to measure the rest of the ingredients...3/4 can of vodka,...
Because of the contrast between the tart cranberries and sugary coating, the flavor of this snack pops in your mouth. The berries are steeped in hot sugar syrup to tame their tangy bite. When entertaining,...
Crunchy, and nicely seasoned I made this with items I already had on hand. Packing it up for my lunch tomorrow and I can hardly wait to get to work so I can unpack this delight! From Ingrid Hoffman.
Crunchy and tender, goes great with steak. Our boys like to eat them with their fingers dipped in ketchup (The potatoes dipped in ketchup-not their fingers!)

These are adapted from an old recipe...you could roll them in coconut instead of nuts like Grandma did, but my hubby hates coconut so I changed it to pecans for us! Prep time doesn't include pre-mashing...
This is a quickly prepared jam that calls for smaller amounts of fruit and sugar. Cooking it in a wide pan speeds up the gelling process so no pectin is needed. The jam has a soft set, a bright color and...

Filipino/Spanish olive relish, modified from tita Dolly's estimates. Recipe multiplies well. (rev July 30, 2016) These are my proportions -- tita Dolly's instructions are always "just keep adding until...
A great low calorie/low fat recipe. I created this recipe by significantly modifying Tish's stuffed zucchini recipe (#17260) to create a much healthier version. This is a fun recipe because you can add...
This one is so delicious and easy, you'll never use store bought again. Use fresh squeezed lemon juice if you have it; if not, the stuff in the container will do just fine. I've adapted this from the original...
