Chicken-Apple Salad Stuffed Pitas, p. 120
    (Some of my favorite recipes are in those books.  Try [this](green book).  
     note:  I substitute red grapes for the apples - and I eat it without the 
     pitas....Of course there are more, but these . . . I remembered off the 
     top of my head (I'm at work).) 
    ([one] of my all time favorite recipes) 
    (I make it with red grapes in place of the apples.  I make it for lunches, 
     and the apples wouldn't survive the week.  The grapes are fantastic.)

Crunchy Munchy Banana Party Pie, p. 170
    (yum!!!) 

Pistachio Delight, p. 154
    (I will try [this] next time with chocolate pudding even though it was great.)

Veggie Salad Rye Rounds, p. 61
    (This was good.  It was a great for the "bring a snack to share".  It was a hot 
     day and I wanted a finger food that didn't have to heat up the oven.  I would 
     do this again to take for something like this.  It looked festive.)

Chinese Chicken Soup, p. 63
    (I just love Chinese food!  We made this last night and it is Great.  Easy and 
     quick to make too.  This will be one time that I don't mind having leftovers!)
    (I made the soup yesterday, of course with a few variations!  I used a total of 
     8 cups of liquid and I added 3 cups of leftover cooked regular rice, and I used 
     12 oz. of my favorate frozen stir fry vegetables, more soy sauce, pepper.  When 
     my husband got home he said, delicious!  He really likes the water chestnuts. 
     (I had a can of the water chestnuts that had been in my cubbard for months and 
     months!)  Thanks for sharing the recipe!)
    (I didn't have any snow peas, so I used a package of frozen stir-fry vegetables. 
     Was delicious, and the orange and green colors made it pretty.)
    (I tried [this].  It is very good.  I used fresh pea pods but they didn't stay 
     nice and green, because I put the lid on the pot.  I will make this again, but 
     next time I will only use 1/2 the amount of rice.  4 oz. is a lot of rice.  If 
     you like a really thick soup use the 4 oz.  I would prefer a little more broth 
     and 1/2 the rice would cut the calories a little.)
