In going through my collection of old-fashion recipes I came across these recipes for cottage cheese salads. Both seem perfect for Spring, Summer, Holidays, etc. They seem especially fitted for a buffet menu but would be great for any occasion or meal. Both of these salads feature cottage cheese. The one with Pecans is truly different than your average salad. And the one with Mandarin Oranges is really quick and easy.

Sharing wild food recipes gets easier as my favorite organic farmers and local specialty foods markets are now selling these "weeds" in addition to cultivated vegetables. Most of my early wild edibles discoveries were by trial and error. As I got older, I discovered experts who published their knowledge and gave classes in some cases.

Chicken Madras is a dish that can be found in Indian restaurants all over the world and for many people it is among their choice of top chicken curry recipes. Chicken Madras comes from southern India and the curry is quite hot owing to a fairly large amount of chilli in the recipe although it can be reduced if necessary if it is too hot for your taste. Below is a version of the Chicken Madras curry I've been preparing for a few years, which is based on that which appears in Pat Chapman's book Indian Restaurant Cookbook. The main difference is in the spice mix, which adds a larger number of spices into the initial spice mix and does away with the addition of garam massala towards the end.[..]

There's no need to throw away your favorite recipes just because you've decided to live a healthier lifestyle. Often times you can substitute or reduce the amount of certain ingredients to make your meal healthier. Does your recipe call for bacon? Bacon offers a rich smoky flavour people love but it's high in fat and normally soaked in grease. Try using Canadian bacon, chicken bacon, turkey bacon or lean prosciutto for that same smoky flavor. They're a leaner alternative to bacon and will offer you a similar flavour. They might even improve your dish. If no substitution will simply do we recommend going directly to a butcher shop where you can see the meat and ask for leaner cuts.[..]

Zucchini is one of the easiest vegetables to grow in a home garden. One of my favorite things to make with zucchini is healthy loaves of bread. Here are a few helpful tips: When purchasing, look for ones that are under 10" in length with no damage to the outside skin. I prefer to store mine at room temperature as refrigeration can speed up ripening. Fresh zucchini should be used up within 5 days. You can freeze it by peeling off the skin and shredding the pulp. Measure out 2 cups of pulp and place in a zipper closure bag. Purge the air out of the bag and seal shut. You can freeze completely baked loafs by wrapping them in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. Label and freeze for up to[..]

The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which is Greek for “large melon". The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, “pumpkin".

This is a delicious delicious pumpkin bread recipe that I got from my grandmother when I was a young cook with my own family.

Maybe the most famous secret recipe of all time? The KFC Fried Chicken Recipe is in a new super secret, high-tech vault to protect it. The recipe that was hand written in pencil by Harland Sanders is now guarded around the clock. The recipe was kept in an undisclosed location while the new security system was installed.

Two companies mix part of the ingredients and a third company mixes the ingredients from the other two companies together. This way no one but the select few at KFC can know the recipe. Other companies like Coke and McDonald's go to[..]

There's coleslaw, then there's KFC Coleslaw. What's the secret? That's what I wanted to know, especially as I was planning a huge family reunion - summer picnic-style! I tried calling KFC, emailing, perusing their website, and simply could not find the secret recipe for the KFC Coleslaw. I'd made coleslaw before - but in the sake of being honest, it certainly isn't my area of expertise. Ordering in "catered" coleslaw from the local small-town supermarket seemed impersonal, and asking one of my guests to make it was out of the question. Everyone had already volunteered to contribute a lot, and I was stuck with the rest. Coleslaw, so it seems, is a staple at summer picnics and parties in[..]

It's a shame the gourmet's of the world don't unite to present an annual award to the Best Restaurant Of The Year. I felt this shortcoming rather acutely some weeks ago when some of us gourmets - hearty eaters always refer to themselves as gourmets - were sitting around drooling on our bosoms. The favorite indoor sport of those who enjoy good food is recalling Memorable Meals at famous eateries. I opined that Antoine's of New Orleans has to be ranked with the leaders because of its Steak Robespierre. "Steak what?" demanded my incredulous companions, as learned eaters are wont to do. "Who ever heard of that dish? You're putting us on." Stung to the quick of my taste buds, I asserted[..]

The strawberries are in their full glory. I've made jam, we've eaten strawberry shortcake and strawberries and cream. How else can we enjoy these beautiful berries before their season is gone?

Mine doesn't, instead I use can beans and cook them on the stove top.

Try, not one, but two copycat versions of the KFC cole slaw recipe, and let your family choose the winner. The favorite coming into the contest is the one immediately below. Its key ingredient is tarragon vinegar. Don't be tempted to substitute another vinegar. Use the tarragon-infused version.

The glycemic index or GI is a chart used to measure the effects of carbohydrates on an individual's blood sugar levels, and this is where low glycemic index recipes are based as well. Carbohydrates, when taken into the body through the foods that we eat, break down slowly during digestion and releases glucose into our bloodstream. Food items are said to have a high or low index ranking depending on how rapidly or slowly the glucose in the body are released. A diet plan with a low index score is considered healthier as the slow rate of digestion results in a slower rate of absorption of carbohydrates from the food. When planning low glycemic index recipes, you should learn how to identify[..]

Ruth's Chris recipe for crab cakes is an all time favorite of mine. A new Ruth's Chris restaurant recently opened for business in my neighborhood, which prompted me to share my variation with you!
