Cheese - Yummy Cheese Ball

A tasty cheese and bacon cheese ball. Best served with buttery crackers.

Seafood - Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

A hot and sassy marinade makes this grilled salmon even more delicious.

Herbs And Spices - Basil Pesto Bread

At a recent party our friends went wild over this. A simple pesto is spread on Italian bread and layered with roma tomatoes and cheese. It takes a little time, but it is worth it. I freeze the basil in ice cube trays, then put the cubes in freezer bags. You can easily take out and thaw what you need. Enjoy!

Bbq Grilling - Absolutely Awesome Bbq Sauce

I have tried many, many BBQ sauces, but I always come back to this one! Using chile sauce in addition to a little ketchup give this sauce extra flavors to tantalize everyone's taste buds!

Meat And Poultry - Pork Chops With Raspberry Sauce

Succulent herbed boneless pork loin chops paired with a tangy raspberry sauce ... heaven on a plate! This is a special family dish or perfect for company. I accompanied it with mashed potatoes and julienned steamed carrots. My husband can't wait to have it again.

Seafood - Halibut Mango Ceviche

This delicious tropical ceviche is perfect for fancy gatherings. The halibut 'cooks' in lemon and lime juice with a splash of tequila and a lot of fresh mango. Serve in a martini glass, with extra lime on the rim for squeezing.

Pasta - Plain Pasta

Real old fashioned homemade pasta. The salt, baking powder and butter are optional. Also, try substituting 1/2 cup milk or 3 beaten eggs for the warm water.

Side Dish - Roasted Sweet Potatoes Onions

This delicious side dish is packed with nutrition. Sweet potatoes, onions and almonds are powerhouses of antioxidants and other nutrients -- in fact, almonds are among the most nutrient-dense foods, containing high concentrations of vitamins and minerals per calorie. Plus, olive oil and almonds contain monounsaturated fat -- the good type.

Appetizers And Snacks - Bacon Wrapped Pineapple

Pieces of pineapple are wrapped in bacon and roasted in a sweet sauce. I started making these for family get-togethers and everyone LOVED them. No one could eat enough of them. I am also using them when I cater my daughter's wedding.
