CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican Style by Amos MillerMy buddy, Ed, of Puerto Rican descent, spent his time in the Air Force in Central and South America. Ed's favorite dish: ceviche!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bar Cookies by Salad FoodieQuick to make, these bar cookies are a sister version of drop cookies (the dough can actually be made into those if you prefer.) Oatmeal and nuts provide a light crunchiness to the moist and munchy texture. In brief - a delightful cookie your company will love! |

Incredible Chocolate Chip Cookies by J. Gino GenovesiWe all know there are many recipes for chocolate chip cookies, with many things added to them.

Nanner Sushi by Chef SmithHaving to make cute little tea party foods for a little girls "upscale" tea party I was asked to make several finger sandwiches for the kids. I came up with a twist on the usual peanut butter sandwich and made it sophisticated. I actually eat this for a snack at work... |
