Cool and Creamy Ranch Cucumber Salad by Denise Sherin

This is a simple as 1-2-3. Only a few ingredients and a quick 30 minute chill and you are good to go. Great way to use up extra cucumbers. And it's a nice side to BBQ. Cook time is actually chill time.

Snappy Stuffed Tomatillos by Robyn Savoie

What a wonderful treat at parties. Friends and family will request this time and time again. Feel free to substitute cherry tomatoes for the tomatillos. After "gutting" the fruit I invert them onto paper towel to drain for 1 hour before stuffing.
