This toasted sweet and spicy treat is great anytime. Serve for friendly get together's, tailgating, sporting event parties, and at holiday parties.

Mushroom Filled Potato Pancakes by John Spottiswood

These are healthy, relatively low calorie, and very tasty potato pancakes that I adapted from Jacques Pepin. Sauteed simply in a little oil, they have about 200 calories in each serving of three pancakes. I served them as a side dish to Chicken Chasseur (will post soon), but they would also make a great appetizer.

Buffalo Wing Wanna Be (Hot Wraps) by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe in Cuisine magazine seven years ago. A less guilt and lower fat alternative to fried or oven roasted wings.

Chipotle chiles (smoked, dried jalapeño's), bacon and beef broth give this unusual tomato-based sauce its deep flavor. Use it in Braised Meat Loaf and of course, Meatballs in Chipotle Sauce.

Cream cheesie corn by Glenn

I was given the chore of coming up with a new side dish for Thanksgiving. I like corn--particularly when I am eating. I like cream cheese--only when I am eating. Voila, an idea is born. It is easy to make and was rated OMG by my very picky family. There may be ways to improve it but here is an instant classic.

Mock Chicken Wings by Suzi

It may sound strange to call these wings but really, the idea of wings I beleive, is in the sauce. I have included my own sauce recipe and added garlic. I add garlic to nearly everything. These are really easy to make. They wroked out real well for Super Bowl Sunday.

Pumpkin Fried Rice by Carolinaheartstrings

A few weeks ago I fixed Farm Diva’s Chicken Fried Rice recipe for dinner. It was delicious and with a Lowcountry sweetie that was raised up on rice I had made more rice than I needed in her recipe. The leftover white rice sat in the fridge for a day or two and then one evening in a desperate-for-a-side-dish mode I looked in the…

Capellini alla puttanesca with tuna by Unknown Chef

This is a riff of my traditional Puttanesca "sauce" because I didn't use anchovies and capers. I included artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, Ahi tuna, and roasted red peppers. I'm always looking for ways to tweak recipes. I cook Gluten Free because Babe has Celiac Disease. Bon appetito!

Italian Wedding Soup by Kelly Christensen

This is the Barefoot Contessa recipe and it's fabulous.

Stuffed Mushrooms with Hollandaise by B Innes

Stuffed Mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers as well as a great addition to any hearty main course. The basic recipe works great as a stand alone dish with hollandaise with a larger mushroom and with a little tweaking makes a great appetizer or hors d'oeuvre.
