Jane HenegarGood morning, readers. We have some long-lost recipes and are still hot on the trail of arugula salads, cabbage rolls in bread dough, salad wraps and do-ahead ideas for the family when the cook will be out of town.
All but the last request are recycled ones. Yeast of the Ridge must leave town for a few days, leaving a husband with two culinary specialties: red beans and rice and popcorn. “He has asked for some healthy things prepared ahead, food that he won’t have to assemble,” she says. And here’s proof that a Fare Exchange question is answered before it is asked: the Mason jar salad discussed below sound ideal for the task.
From the most recent Linda Leake collection, here is a batch of peanut butter cookies.
