I'm
always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes. Raising two kids while running a food business with husband Tom, I had to be quick. But speed isn't everything. I've needed healthy recipes too, using whole foods, so I can keep up with the pace!

The New Deli is Cooking
Fruit Dip Recipe
Make an easy party appetizer by spearing fresh fruits onto bamboo kabob sticks. Make a great dip using whipped cream cheese flavored with coconut and frozen pineapple juice concentrate. Packed with flavor! Good for spearing: Pineapple, strawberries, mango, and melons. They won't turn brown on you; they look great and taste great.

Jello Salad Recipe
The last time I made a jello salad with the typical boxed jello mix, I was pretty disappointed. So I went back to my favorite: A naturally-flavored jello salad recipe using frozen fruit juice concentrates. I add unflavored gelatin; stricter vegetarians might prefer to use agar agar powder. The same amount of the powder can be substituted for the gelatin. With healthy recipes like this, I can even give it to my little granddaughter!
Cold Pasta Salad Recipe
The Angel Hair Pasta with marinated mushrooms was always a big hit at our deli. It's convenient that it can be served cold, although a few people have been known to heat it up, topping with some parmesan. Either way, it's a treat. It's full of flavor; after coating the noodles lightly with olive oil, they get tossed in a saucy mix of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Fancier cooks would call it a reduction sauce, which makes it sound complicated. But it's not, really! You're just boiling some of those juices down so they'll be a little thicker and cling to the pasta. Deluxe.
Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
Some of my best chocolate recipes are simple recipes, like for Mint Chocolate Brownies. A lot of folks like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate in the Peanut Butter Brownies. Check them both out!
Some folks have called these Oatmeal Millet Cookies "Bird Seed Cookies". Then those birds have it made! I like this recipe because it uses whole foods: Millet, sunflower seeds, nuts, raisins, and whole-grain oatmeal. It's actually wheat-free too, which can be nice for a change.
