Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp SaladOriginally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over. Adding a few new veggies and seasonings, and subbing an oil-based dressing, made it lighter and brighter. The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed. |

Tri-tip Marinade IIThis is another great tri-tip marinade. I like a wet marinade a little better than a dry rub. This results in great flavor and very tender meat. I usually double the recipe. |

Homemade GravyYou can make great gravy even without pan drippings. If you've got a few vegetables and some chicken or beef broth, you can make a rich, full-bodied gravy. Serve this over meat, vegetables, potatoes or rice. |

Stuffed Pepper SoupWe love this soup served with a little grated white cheddar on top and some good crusty bread! Even my 6yr old loves this soup, he likes to scoop it with tortilla chips. Using frozen peppers speeds up time prep time. This tastes even better the next day. |

Almost A Borscht SoupI wanted a hearty soup for lunch and had a left-over half head of boiled cabbage. What else could I do but go wild adding borschtish ingredients until I almost lost track. Bottom line, if you don't have an ingredient just leave it out or substitute something else. Have fun and be surprised, like I was, that this came out tasting… |

I made this recently and had a bowl with a piece of good Italian bread after a long day of work. it was a cool evening, and this meal was just perfect.
