our collective awesomeness

By gwen
I am lifting a glass to all of the food blog contributors at the moment -- we have collected so many good recipes here that tonight, instead of looking online or in a cookbook for something to make with only the contents of my refrigerator, I did a search on Food Goodness. I found Becky's three-cheese penne and made a variation of it, and it was really delicious. We have achieved critical mass! We are so excellent.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

tomato & corn cobbler

This is a delicious late summer dinner , and a one-pot meal at that, if you're willing to turn on your oven. I tweaked a lot of the amounts in the original recipe — the biscuits get really puffy and there weren't enough veggies the way it was written imo. Also for the record, I've tried adding zucchini to this but I don't recommend. INGREDIENTS    3 pints  cherry tomatoes, not cut, any kind (you can also chop big tomatoes in here but take out the pulp and seeds so it doesn't get too watery) 6   ears' worth of fresh corn kernels 1   bunch green onions whites and greens, chopped handful of fresh basil, chopped For the biscuits: 1½   cups  AP  flour 2 1/2   teaspoons   baking powder 3/4   cup   shredded cheddar or swiss cheese, or probably anything a little sharp is fine 3/4   cup  milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice (recipe calls for  buttermilk but I haven't been able to tell a difference) ⅓   cup ...
