Garlic Hummus by Amanda Natividad

Some recipes call for too much tahini. Others try too hard and call for red bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes. I prefer to keep it simple: chickpeas and tahini, with lots of garlic and lemon juice. Oh, and a dash of olive oil to keep it creamy. Use it as a sandwich spread or dipping sauce.

Lime & Mint Jelly by Salad Foodie

Tart and zesty, this jelly makes a nice gift for the holiday host or hostess. Lime is the predominant flavor, with a “hint of mint.” Serve it with crackers and cream cheese, or put it out when you serve lamb or other meats. Use it as you would marmalade, on toast or biscuits. If you like lime, you will love this lip-smacking sweet…

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…

Curried Onion Relish by Syi

This is really good on hot dogs, brats, burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches. We mix it with grilled, diced chicken....making an excellent chicken salad for open faced sandwiches or hors 'd oeuvres/appetizers.

Two super delicious recipes combined into one Uber-delicious creation. Broccoli casserole is an indulgent favorite of my family's.

I wanted to come up with something familiar yet different,…

Who knew Guacamole could be so easy (and tasty)? by Nick Roche

I must confess that I've never made Guacamole before. It has always been so convenient for others to make or bring to a party that it never really crossed my mind to do it myself; however, the other day there were two nice sized Avocados staring at me in the face on the kitchen counter, perfectly ripe, not too soft, not too hard. The…
