Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience.

Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells.

Perfect Bread and Butter Pickles by Farrell May Podgorsek

Not too sweet and not too sour, these old-fashioned pickles are crisp and crunchy. " Better than Grandma's" is the comment I most often hear.

Mexican Corn and Potatoes by Robyn Savoie

In the Summer roast the fresh corn and while doing that roast those Serrano's. The additional smoky flavor will only enhance this.

She used to put 2 raw eggs in the middle layer, not…

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

To be honest with you, my aunt’s recipe was chocolate chip cookies, not bars, but I decided to make them into bars one evening when I wanted something sweet and did not want to bake endless pans of cookies (her recipe makes about 70 cookies). I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her…
