Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes by Mary Joseph

Banana Split Pie by Mary Joseph

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not much of a baker, but this is an old family recipe that has been gratiously "given" to me for use in my cookbook so I want to share it here with you all. Its one of the very few dessert recipes I make and its addicting, so look out. To this day if I show up to Thanksgiving without this people are…

Stuffed Kalamata Olives by Mary Joseph

These salty olives stuffed with a creamy Feta mixture and wrapped in prosciutto will fly off the plate! I’m saying this makes 100 olives but you might actually need another jar if what you’re looking for is exactly 100. Basically it’ll make a whole jar and you’ll probably have some of the cheese mix left over.

Veggie Herb Quiche by Mary Joseph

This is delicious the next day for breakfast served hot or cold. Also with this you can pretty much use any vegetables you have lying around in your fridge, not to mention any kind of cheese or herbs. Quiche is a perfect way to utilize odds and ends leftovers. This feeds about 6 people each if you're serving it with other things or…

Roasted Vegetable Salad by Mary Joseph

This can be prepared the day before (recommended). Just be sure to take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes before serving so it comes to room temperature.
