Smoked Salmon Soufflés
These were absolutely delicious,;) if I say so myself! We served these last Sunday for tea.(merienda) where we had some guests from New York, who were visiting their mom and were leaving the next day. They brought us the fixings for their mom to have a Jewish-type breakfast, since she was being transferred to another one of our homes, Hebrew Homes South. BBC GoodFood :) -- posted by Manami

Wild Mushroom Stroganoff
Traditionally, stroganoff is served with rice, but for a different type of stroganoff, try serving this with a very thick wholemeal bread and some lightly salted butter. This recipe will serve up to 6, but since it is so delicious, realistically you will only get around 4 servings out of it! Sometimes it is a nice touch just to swirl a little cream onto each plate after the stroganoff has been served, then finish off with the freshly chopped parsley. Delicious! -- posted by English_Rose

Crock-Pot Ricotta
Make your own ricotta cheese in your crockpot! The acid you choose will affect the final flavor. Apple cider vinegar will give a sharper tang, a distinct odor, and a subtle golden color; this is probably best for savory applications. Lemon juice will give a subtler flavor and will not curdle as abruptly. For the cleanest, purest flavor, use distilled white vinegar. If you don't like or can't find the goat's milk, you can sub another quart of low-fat cow's milk. -- posted by DrGaellon

Amish Corn on the Cob
One of my dear friends, Pam, comes from an Amish background and each Summer we head to Millersburg, Ohio to visit her relatives. One visit was during the first Sweet Corn harvest and this dish was served at their table. Initially, I was sceptical about it, having never had my corn served this way...that is, until I ate it and then I couldn't get enough! That was 30+ years ago, and each Summer I wait with the greatest of anticipation for the first Sweet Corn to become available so I can have this simple feast. It's hard for me to have corn any other way now, as it always seems that "something is missing." Note: The servings for an individual are two ears of corn per person. Just increase the recipe, per person, for your serving needs. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Easy on the waistband-and on the guilt. Planning tip: Can be made (without the strawberry topping) up to 3 days ahead. Refrigerate covered. Prepare Topping just before serving. I found this recipe in Woman's Day magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut
