Chimichurri by Jeremy Cheng

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Bob Marley's Chargrilled-Jerk Chicken with Creamy Cucumber Dipping Sauce by Danielle Pallaske

The flavors in the following recipe from Bob Marley's Restaurant does a beautiful job of melding together the jerk spices for what is the best jerk marinade I have ever used (homemade or store bought). You get a lovely citrus flavor from the habanero,…

Chicken Wings or Drummies - Orange Glazed by Amos Miller

Just make PLENTY for those Bowl Games! I had one trim couple eat 4 lbs and then look for more. This is very simple, but does take some lapsed time because I bake the wings, so the skin is crisp, yet the meat is moist and very tender. No eggs, flour, oil or milk are used in this recipe. This recipe makes enough glaze to coat…

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa by Bombdiggity Hot Dogs

This is a great salsa on hot dogs or tortilla chips

Tex Mex Guacamole with Serrano & Jalapeno Peppers by Wendi Taylor

A delicious treat that can be served as a topping for tacos or taco salad, a dip for corn chips, a spread for tortillas or pita bread, or on a bed of shredded lettuce as a salad in itself.

Vegan Black Bean Coconut Brownies by Jill

AWESOME! Not your traditional brownie, but these are really good and really healthy too! I"ve only made this using my Vita-mix but I'm sure a regular blender will work too, just take a bit longer. When you are ready to purchase your own Vita-mix you can use code 06-003085 for free shipping. So simple, easy and quick. Totally…

Dark Chocolate Tarts by Kiriel du Papillon

I served these tiny tarts at the wedding I catered for my friends Patrizia and Ed. (Full menu here). They were a real hit - rich and creamy and just the right size for a not-quite-guilt-free mouthful. - This is cross posted from my recipe blog at thepapillonpantry.blogspot.com

Hank's Chilli Fudge by Henry Moline

This can be a appetizer or just a plain snack during gamedays. It's real simple and tastes great.

Grilled Chicken Satay Skewers by Robyn Medlin

There are many recipes for the peanut sauce that makes up chicken satay on the internet, but what I like about this one is that the ingredients are easy to find (no need to go to a specialty market) and it uses coconut milk, one of my FAVORITE ingredients. Your family and kids will love this recipe!

MUSSELS STEAMED IN TEQUILA WITH LIME by Cecelia Heer

What screams summer more than tequila and lime? Well, how about mussels cooked in tequila and lime as an accompaniment to the drink. During my 10 pounds of mussels week, I discovered that we had a bottle of Jose Cuervo Black Oak Barrel Single Blend tequila on the bar. This was probably one of the best discoveries that I made that…

Roasted Red Peppers with Lemon Juice by zentMRS

Roasted spicy chicken wings with goat cheese dip by Micheline

These wings taste better than at the restaurant and are healthier. People are always surprised to find out that my chicken wings can be so delicious when roasted instead of fried. I serve them with a goat cheese dip (less fat) instead of the traditional blue cheese dip with celery and carrot sticks.
