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. |

Rhubarb Crumble (crunch, crisp or whatever!)An old-fashioned dessert that has endless appeal. Whether you call it a crumble, crunch or a crisp - it is delish! Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and praise will abound. This is my tweaked version of several from the Internet.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini CookiesZucchini cookies much like pumpkin cookies tend to have a cake-like texture rather than crisp or crunchy from the extra moisture of the vegetable. In this recipe the cookies come closer to a crisp/chewy texture through (1) extra draining step of the zucchini and (2) pressing the cookies down on cookie sheet before baking. |

It’s amazing how some of the best recipes are often the simplest to make. The original full fat recipe has ingredients such as sour cream, butter and 2 entire cups of cheese. This skinny makeover is using… |

Homemade Salsa to be canned, or served freshA perfect solution to summer's finale of Roma tomatoes is this canning salsa recipe. Although paste (Roma) tomatoes are the preferred variety, slicing tomatoes will work but if they are, I recommend these changes: seed them and if needed, add a few additional minutes cooking and stirring time to reduce the mixture and achieve… |

Super Bowl Sirloin Soft TacosPatti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on the grill but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or… |

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions, Yum!Minimizing is the new super-sizing and these little sliders are terrific. No need to heat up the barbecue because these mini burgers are best made on a George Foreman grill, Panini maker or in a pan. The deep, subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions really add a wonderful flavor to these little gems. To make them skinny, I’m using… |
