Garlic Hummus by Amanda Natividad

Some recipes call for too much tahini. Others try too hard and call for red bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes. I prefer to keep it simple: chickpeas and tahini, with lots of garlic and lemon juice. Oh, and a dash of olive oil to keep it creamy. Use it as a sandwich spread or dipping sauce.

Maple syrup vinaigrette by Micheline

This is my favourite vinaigrette or salad dressing. A sweet (but not too sweet), flavourful dressing for your favourite green salad. I usually add julienned carrots, julienned zucchini, sliced green onions, mesclun mix (various mixed greens), green olives with pimiento, cherry tomatoes, sliced strawberries. Voilà!

Dom Pedro Drink by Syi

A bartender friend of mine got me hooked on a liqueur from South Africa called, AMARULA CREAM, and I can't get enough of it. It's like a fruity, exotic version of Bailey's Irish Cream, & to me it tastes like caramelized fruit (mango, papaya). My friend said this is the most popular drink made with Amarula. It makes a great…

"Dirty Arnold Palmer" Cocktail by Syi

I just love good ol' lemonade and Southern sweet iced tea, so combining the two (1/2 lemonade & 1/2 iced tea to make one drink) was a brilliant idea of Arnold Palmer. However, this one is "kicked-up a notch"....there's still lemonade in it, but in place of the regular sweet iced tea, I'm using Sweet Tea Vodka. Still refreshing &…

"Blue Sky" SnowCone' Tini by Syi

For my birthday, my mom & her fiance took me to an Italian restaurant for dinner. While there, she ordered a martini called a "Snow Cone-Tini." It was the cutest thing, so I just had to come home and create some of my own. This is one of many that I've made so far.

This juice combination is so tasty and refreshing. A great everyday drink or for parties.

Mom's No Bake Cookies by Syi

My mom used to make these all the time when my sister and I were young. She used to help her mother make them for the family when she was a kid. She made the regular version as well as a version with the addition of peanut butter. They have become my go-to sweet tooth cure as they are so easy and quick to make. I recently made a…

So far everything that 's come in contact with it has turned to gold! This recipe goes amazingly well on bagels or with smoked salmon or crudites even chips. The list goes on and on.…

This sauce is magnificent for complementing things of Asian origin or anything that commands a good dunking. I use this sauce with the Broccoli Casse Rolls and it's taste bud magic. This sauce makes a great marinade also and is fabulous for basting ribs, chicken, fish etc... the list goes on and on.
