This is one of my rare cooking entries. Though they go in the oven for a while, these enchiladas certainly wouldn’t be characterized as a baked good. I obtained the original recipe for these from the food services division of a large university. The enchiladas served in their dining halls were exceptional. As usual, my changes …
(Black Forest Biscotti) This is based upon my all-time favorite biscotti recipe, Chocolate-Cherry Biscotti from Cooking Light magazine. The chocolate in that recipe comes from chips only, so I usually describe it as “cherry chocolate chip” biscotti. It already includes a cup of whole wheat flour; I added more and then replaced some of the …

According to Wikipedia, Irish wheaten bread is a form of Irish soda bread made with whole wheat flour. We recently tried an Irish brown bread recipe based upon one in Donna Rathmell German’s The Bread Machine …
Wow! I just made these, and they are incredible. (Can you say that about a newly-created recipe without sounding immodest? I figure it’s OK ’cause it’s not about me; it’s about the food.) The decadence has more to do with taste than ingredients, for these are more nutritious than you might think. I started with …
The Delicious Pumpkin Peanut Butter Soup already posted on this site is my absolute favorite squash soup recipe, but since not everyone can—or wants to—eat peanut butter, I thought I’d share my second favorite as well. One of the best recipes I’ve seen utilizing winter squash in soup is from Cook’s Illustrated The Best Light …
