CHOCOLATE anise ALMOND biscotti cookiesBy no means a simple tasting chocolate crunch treat, just simply made easy. A few ground anise seeds and roasted almonds chime into this long awaited biscotti. A slightly sweet chocolate, crunchy biscotti bite. The aromatics coming off the anise seeds really brought this cookie into another class of its own. For a detailed… |

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and ZucchiniI had this dish at a local diner and loved it. So I recreated it at home it's an easy tasty dish. It looks like you spent a lot of time making it and it comes together so easily. In this picture I used just zucchini but I have made it with summer squash or a mix of both, whatever I have on hand, and it's great. |

Spanakopita DipSo yummy! Great for parties and get togethers. Original recipe is posted here but I leave out the dill because I am not a big fan of dill. Serve with fresh pita bread, toasted pita chips or your favorite dippers breads, crackers or veggies. |

Mediterranean Nachos (Greek Nachos)Yummy Greek flavors in nacho form. Instead of sour cream you could use some tzatziki sauce or slice some raw baby spinach leaves. You can also use a flavored feta cheese if you like. To make a heartier dish you can add some shredded chicken or tuna to the tomato mixture. |

Ham, Green Beans and PotatoesAnother simple and hearty Amish dish. My grandfather made this after we had a big ham dinner using the leftover ham, he called it "slop" but it was a favorite. If you are using leftover cooked ham reduce cooking time to about and hour or so then finish with vegetables for additional half hour |

Semi-Homemade
Take ready-made, canned or jarred items or mixes and jazz them up, alter them or combine with homemade items to create an easy-to-make dish. Sandra Lee from Food Network made me aware that this is how I've been cooking for years!
