There are some flavors that just take me back to childhood. To home. And one of those is just about anything “spice.” As in spice bars or spice cakes. One taste and I’m pretty much transported. And one of my favorites was always Classic Applesauce Spice Bars.

White & Sweet Potato Salad with Chutney Dressing
I gotta say I’ve never been a huge fan of out standard American potato salad. Of course, that never stops me from eating it if I’m at a barbecue or potluck, but sometimes I wish there was something a little different. Something that wakes up the taste buds. Something a little special. This White & Sweet Potato Salad with Chutney Dressing is all that and more!

Pumpkin Drop Cookies
When I was little, I have very fond memories of making cookies with my Mom. Well, she made them and we pressed the forks into them to make a cross-hatch – and they were always peanut butter. But at my friend Lynette’s house, they made all kinds of things! And it seemed like they were always making something. But I really remember the Pumpkin Drop Cookies.

Big Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
My Dad’s been asking for Oatmeal Cookies for longer than I care to admit. And the folks had three, yes, three cartons of Old Fashioned Oats in the cupboard and I had this recipe for Big Chewy Oatmeal Cookies in my book of recipes.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice with Kale
When Angie over at Fiesta Friday challenged other food bloggers to create a healthy dish this month, I was all set. See I’ve been making so many marvelous healthy dishes with cauliflower this month (I just can’t seem to get enough of it – maybe I’m lacking some trace mineral it has) that I thought I could just slide a recipe right by her.
