Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers by Dennis Kraus

(From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com) I seem to be on a mission to find easy but good food; maybe it is the unbelievable heat we have been having. Simple seems to have a special appeal when the thermometer reads in the high 90's. The neighbors came over last night for dinner and I was scratching my head to come up…

Lemon Rosemary Fig Jam by Amos Miller

The figs are ripe. sweet and the season is short. Fresh rosemary, lemon zest and juice marry perfectly to create a jam to be eaten with bold cheeses as an appetizer.

We served the same dressing the following night with a more traditional mixed green salad with lettuce, avocado, tomato and cucumber, and that was delicious too. If you're looking for a tasty alternative to a caesar dressing,…

Healthy Fish Tacos

Healthy Fish Tacos by Marci Clark

I loved fish tacos, but didn't really like the fat in deep frying or the mess it makes in the house. This recipe is a similar take on baked unfried chicken. This recipe actually makes the fish crispier than frying and it holds up well with the delish dill sauce!

Try this next time your are looking for a 'fancy' or special appetizer that requires next to no effort. This is a basic German-style country dish. If you can't obtain a smoked liver…

Makes your eyes bug out & your stomach say "Howdy!" Fusion can be confusin', so let's get back to an ol' timey American dessert, not found on menus in fancy restaurants. This is just good country food, like I got when I'd have dinner at Nellie Keeling's home up Horse Mill Hollow, near Glasgow, W. Va. Pandowdy is a highly…
