I adapted this recipe by one from Emeril Lagasse. I served it with a molten chocolate cake one day. We had leftovers the next day with shaved dark chocolate on top. No matter how you eat this ice cream, it is delicious!

Remoulade Sauce by Ryan Fillhardt

Banana Split Pops by Krystina Castella

This king of pops is based on the classic flavors of a banana split. Traditionally, the banana is split lengthwise, but I put the banana on the pop stick to make it a hidden surprise. Pineapple topping is poured over the vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup over the chocolate ice cream, and strawberry topping over the strawberry; the…

Marinated Goat Cheese Spread by Sara Gray

Wow! Not only is this a pretty appetizer, but it's a real crowd pleaser too! Easy to put together, you can make it ahead and then serve it when you are ready. The aromatic flavor of rosemary permeates the cheese and makes for a delicious spread for sliced baguette.

Key Lime Pie by Amos Miller

Too early for real, fresh fruit pies here - but Spring brings Key Limes, and that means unbaked Key Lime Pie with a slightly sweetened sour cream topping. I use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs, so there is no issue with salmonella and I can move the pies from prep to cooler. Saves a load of time and makes a fabulous, flavorful,…

Holiday Cranberry Cheese Pie by Denise Sherin

This has become a family favorite for holidays. I found it in a Taste of Home cookbook. I have changed the recipe to be more diabetic friendly. The original recipe calls for sugar in both layers and I use Splenda in place of sugar and for the jello I use sugar free gelatin. But use sugar if you like.

Honeydew Melon Pops by Krystina Castella

Perfectly ripe honeydew melons are extraordinarily juicy and sweet. For these pops choose melons that have a high water content that are a little overripe. Honeydew is rich in vitamin C and potassium. Try layering the honeydew mixture with the watermelon and cantaloupe variations for beautiful pastel pops.

Balsamic Green Bean Salad by Mary Shaldibina

I prepared this salad on thanksgiving evening, and everybody liked it! The tangy flavors and crunch of this eye-appealing side complement any special meal or holiday potluck. Also, the best part is that you can prepare it ahead.

Oprah's Lemon Drop Martini by Nancy Miyasaki

Whether you love Oprah or not, you'll love her lemon drop martinis. Give them a try, but be careful because they go down easy but pack a punch! Consider yourself warned!

Spottiswood Smoothie by John Spottiswood

I've been eating a smoothie almost every weekday for breakfast for the past 5 years (since I read Eat To Live). I use a vita-mix. This is my all time favorite.

A family fall favorite, these wonderfully spiced, oooey-goooey dessert is a great addition to any Thanksgiving table or other fall/holiday gathering.
