Rotini with Pesto, Tomatoes and Spinach by Salad Foodie

My friend's daughter tasted this last year on a vacation and dubbed it the "Best Pasta Ever." I'll go along with her on that! It's a healthy and colorful vegetarian pasta dish that will serve 6 generously, or make heaped platefuls for 4 ravenous diners! I started with the recipe the chef gave her, but it was just a list of…

Grilled Dungeness Crabs with Kicked up Seasoned Butter by Kevin Greggans

Recipe of Emeril Lagasse, 2002 – modified by Kevin Greggans There is nothing like fresh Dungeness crab when the season opens in the San Francisco Bay area!

Vanilla Bean Snickerdoodles by Foodiewife

What? You've never had a Snickerdoodle? Impossible! They're made with the basic of ingredients-- butter, flour, eggs. One cannot forget to add the cream of tartar, salt or baking soda. Or, it just wouldn't be a Snickerdoodle cookie, right? Last, but not least, you roll the cookie dough into a ball and give it a generous dusting of…

Crab & Avocado BLTs On Sourdough by Bob Vincent

This is a different take on standard BLT sandwiches. The addition of lump crab and avocado make for a delicious sandwich. This would be great with Dungeness crab when in season fresh. I served the sandwiches with seedless red grapes and stone fruit. For a wine I chose a Viansa 2013 Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Chilled it…
