I first found this recipe online when I began riding again in 2010. I got tired of spending as much as I was on pre-packaged energy bars. On a 1-10 scale, they’re probably a 6 or 7. I’ll keep looking for a better recipe. These turn pink from the tart cherries. It’s kind of strange.

With only 5 ingredients, these peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies take literally 5 minutes to make. (This is one recipe where you really DO have to preheat the oven before you start.) I got this recipe from Camille Lara in 2017 when she brought some of them to work and shared. She had the recipe memorized and I wrote it down on a napkin. First thought? They have no truffles in them.

When I couldn’t find my trusty Soda Bread Recipe in 2015, I shamelessly copied this one from foodnetwork.com. As it turns out it looks pretty similar to mine, but tastes even better. I’ve used yellow raisins along with the currents too.

Scott Gelbke posted this on Facebook in December of 2014. The picture that he took looked fantastic. Scott is a decent cook. I found out after he helped prepare a meal for the Rio Strada Team Training Camp in Sonoma. Can’t wait to try this one.

From a series of stolen recipes that I “acquired” by taking a photo with my phone’s camera from a recipe book. I took photos of about a dozen recipes, but THIS is the one that I really wanted to try.

Finally, here’s a way for all of us McClellands and McClelland friends to share our favorite recipes online. That means fully searchable, safe from loss and destruction and most of all, never having to search through those index cards again for the correct recipe. Just use the search box here or search by category (desert, entree, salad, etc.) or by ingredient (strawberries, wine, poppy seeds, whatever!)
Feel free to send us your favorite recipes to publish here with a brief note about where you found it or when you first served it or even how you like to customize it. We’d love to share them with the family and try them out ourselves!
Now get cooking!

Emily found this recipe on Pinterest in March of 2012. The first time we served it was at our neighbor’s party on St. Patrick’s weekend. Neighbor Jami liked it so much she wouldn’t stop bugging me for it until I gave her the recipe. Now she’s coming here to get it. Hi Jami! = )

Once again I found myself looking for a way to use leftover ham after Christmas. If I had reffered to McClellandfamilycom/recipes, I would have known that I already had two such recipes. Instead, I went out and found a third, this one, and my favorite of the three.

This was another, “I’d better look on the internet for what to do with all this leftover Christmas ham” recipes. Patrick and Emily loved it post-Christmas, 2010.

Only 1/2 hour of prep time and the cooking skills of opening cans gets you out of the kitchen in no time and enjoying a fantastic dinner later on. Garnish with sour creme, tortilla chips and cilantro, and no one will ever know you opened a few cans to make this dish.
I got this recipe from Valerie Magoaoy as it was passed around at Costco in 2010.
