Healthy Holiday Recipe: Onion Bread Pudding
The other day I had a baguette that was past its prime, and my first thought was "I'll make bread pudding." But with all the holiday sweets around, I didn't want to add to the temptation with another dessert. So I dug up this recipe for a savory Onion Bread Pudding instead.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Baked Pasta With Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cheese

Make Use of Your Summer Vegetables with a Skillet Stir-Fry
At the farmers market this week, there was so much gorgeous Summer produce — okra, fresh corn, English peas, tomatoes, zucchini — that I bought it all. Then I got home and wondered: What should I do with this Summer bounty?

I am a diehard pickle fanatic, but I realize the same doesn't apply for everyone. This easy pickling recipe for spicy vegetables, however, could convert even the biggest pickle skeptic.

A Delicious Dessert Without All the Fat
Rarely do I find a recipe whose ingredient list calls for reduced- or nonfat milk. I've always thought for the best results — especially when it comes to desserts — whole-fat milk should be used.

Not Your Regular Nachos: Creamy Adobo Chip Nacho Bites
This week I found an interesting recipe on MyRecipes.com and it inspired me to create these bite-sized, creamy nachos.

Fast & Easy Dinner: Linguine With Clams and Artichokes in Red Sauce
Linguine with clams is one of my all-time favorite meals. While sometimes I indulge in a creamy, cheesy version, I actually prefer a lighter variation like this one that lets the flavor of the shellfish shine. The simple sauce — a combination of shallots, garlic, artichoke hearts, and jarred tomato sauce — comes together in less than 15 minutes.
