Italian Bruschetta by Phyllis Smith

This is as close as I have gotten to the treat I have enjoyed in Italy many times. Some regions include ricotta cheese, some have parmigiano reggiano shredded on top; this is simple and, depending on the bread, vegan. The amounts of vinegar and oil can be adjusted according to individual tastes.

Makes a wonderful appetizer for this holiday season or anytime.

Regular ketchup is chock full of sugar, salt, preservatives and all sorts of things you probably don't want to think much about. Low Sugar and Low Salt ketchups cost $3 for a small bottle. With this recipe you can make 12 ounces for less than 50¢. It tastes best after the seasonings have a chance to blend, but it can be used right…

A delicious savory appetizer...vine-ripened tomatoes are best for this recipe.

Sun-Dried Tomato Spread by A.L. Wiebe

This is an extremely tasty appetizer spread, that I borrowed from Terry Thomson's "Cajun and Creole Cooking" book.

Having said that, though, this is not to say that you couldn't play…
