Tri-tip served Gyros style by John Spottiswood

For the 4th of July this year I wanted to serve Greek style sandwiches with flat bread, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and red onions. Given the large number of guests, kabobs would have taken forever.

Mom's Pinwheels (Stuffing topped burgers) by Denise Sherin

This is a recipe Mom made when we were growing up to help stretch a buck. And we all loved Pinwheels.

Runza (Meat & Cabbage Pies) by Bob Vincent

This is a modifed old German recipe. These are great served with a hearty soup. They make a substantial appetizer when cut into pieces. Yes, they are high in fat.

Chili, Ground Beef with Options by Just Cookin'

This is a ground beef chili that warms your t.ummy when it's cold outside. It's also good anytime you want chili on hot dogs or another dish. We like things spicy but I know not everyone does.

Italian Meatballs by Bob Vincent

These are tasty meatballs. Everyone has their own version. This one was based on what I had on hand and the fact that I needed to use up some ground beef and pork I used for something else. Though traditional Italian meatballs are usually fried I elected to bake them to reduce fat content a bit. I made a large batch which resulted…

McNamara Clans Favorite Chili by Cindy McNamara

Just whipped up a batch of this rich, beefy chili for Super Bowl Sunday. We love to top it with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, shredded cheese, green onion and fried corn tortilla strips. I like a squeeze of lime on mine too. Its always better the second day and makes excellent filling for baked potatoes, burritos or for nachos.
