I am looking for a recipe. It is a white gelatin salad, creamy and smooth, no fruit, but has an almond flavoring to it. It's not too sweet, and I think it's called a Swedish cream molded salad. Does anyone have this recipe or one similar?
Thanks!

Calculating Nutrition Values of Individual Servings
So many of us are looking at fat grams and calories. I'm trying to calculate individual servings. If I take the nutritional value of the whole item, and divide it into pieces, would I come up with an approximate amount of calories and fat grams that would be in that single serving? Let's assume something had 650 calories and 30 fat grams. If it made 10 servings, would the 1/10th have 65 calories and 3 fat grams of fat per serving? Or is there a factor(s) missing in doing a calculation of this type? It sounds like it should be easy, but does fiber, carbohydrate, and sodium become a factor when it is broken down? Boxes and containers have the individual serving information but someone has to come up with that information from somewhere. I'm a Weight Watcher and like to cook. I want to make dishes I can eat and tuck the rest away for another day. I have plenty of cookbooks so I am looking for a solution to some favorites. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Crusty Multigrain Bread Recipe
My family loves crusty multigrain rolls and breads. However, these are usually expensive to buy. I have been making breads for years, but have not been able to find a good, hearty, crusty multigrain bread recipe. Does anyone have one they can share?
Thanks!

Super Easy Grilled Onion Recipe
Peel the onion(s). Cut into 3/8 inch slices. With a pastry brush, coat onions with the barbecuesauce and let sit 30-45 minutes. Preheat your grill pan (I use my 2-burner stove-top grill pan). Grill onions on both sides until tender-crisp.
This recipe is very easy and tasty with fried chicken.

Add broccoli; cook 45-60 minutes longer (until the juices run clear). Discard bay leaf. Juices may be thickened with a little cornstarch, if desired. Serve over hot rice. Serves 4-6.

This one makes the whole zucchini season for us!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a cookie sheet by either greasing well or spraying with no-stick spray.
Mix the first five ingredients until creamy. Blend in flour and baking powder until well incorporated and then fold in coconut, walnuts and zucchini. Spread evenly in the cookie sheet and bake about 20 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched near the middle.
While still quite warm, mix all frosting ingredients and spread on the cake.
Cool completely and cut into bar or diamond shapes.
