Welcome to the first Friday 5, a roundup of Recipes of the Day featured on YayYay’s Kitchen Fan page in the last seven days.
Each week you’ll find at least five recipes here, sometimes six or seven, depending on how the foodie stars aligned that week. Most are vegetarian, some vegan. Occasionally, the Recipe of the Day includes meat or meat stock. YayYay’s is a flexitarian whole-foods kitchen.

Your turn! What’s simmering on your back burner? Post a link in the comments to a favorite whole grain/whole food recipe you discovered or published this week. Spam will, of course, be smashed and burned.
Very nice! I can see myself frittering away a lot of time reading all these yummy recipes… More time must (now) be spent dog walking and at the gym!

Nice. But more than 250 words, no??

WordPress official word count is 248 words. Perhaps we should include our post word count when we post the link on the competition page? For other readers, Lisa is part of a blogger group to which I belong, and The Friday 5 is my entry in a little competition we are all participating in. One of the rules is to limit our post to 250 words. Hence her question about my word count.

Yes indeed. And figuring out what I already have on hand that I can use too.

Commodity Foods, a dirty word in Native American history, and Spam used to be part of that. Now our State Fair has a special Spam section in the Food Arts; bit of a joke, but people whip up some extraordinary dishes. Not on my menu, though.

Haha! I was hoping someone would get the double entendre. Yes, it seems to be making a comeback, especially among the fried twinkie crowd.

What tickles me, Kathryn, is that the canned food company doesn’t get all upset by the use of their name for unwanted e-mail. Unlike some others I could name (but won’t).

Well, you know the old saying, any publicity is better than no publicity. It’s all about keeping the name in front of people.

Got a question from my sister in Fairbanks. We used to love Mum’s snickerdoodles (in the UK) but have been unable to reproduce them satisfactorily even using her recipe. I tried them here in ABQ too. They don’t puff up and then deflate nicely; just spread. Can you advise?

I bake mine with whole wheat and yes, they deflate, perhaps a little too much for traditional snickerdoodles. This is a link to the only snickerdoodle recipe I’ve published and the one I always make now: Toasted coconut snickerdoodles.
If you’d rather make a traditional white flour snickerdoodle, I’d suggest googling King Arthur Flour. They have such good tips, and often include the science involved in baking, which might help you discover why your mom’s recipe isn’t turning out the way you want.
