Snappy Stuffed TomatillosWhat 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. |

Oat Pecan Praline CookiesChewy, slightly soft texture with a hint of caramel pecan, these attractive cookies make a nice snack for company with coffee, tea or milk. Sometimes we bakers just have to break out of the oatmeal-raisin cookie rut, and these certainly do! |

Ham, Peas & Pasta SaladA nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience. My pasta choice for this is ditalini, a small pasta often used in soups (this can be hard to locate but Barilla sells a one pound box.) Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells. |

Favorite Creamy ColeslawFor me, this has just the right balance of slaw to dressing. A true creamy slaw delight. Keep in mind this produces a VERY creamy version of coleslaw. To reduce the creaminess, simply add a bit more cabbage. |
