Penne Pasta with Pesto
Comments (3)
Pesto is a beloved pasta sauce that is extremely versatile. It can be used on sandwiches, wraps, meats, and even salads. This pesto recipe is simple, yet tasty. In less than 30 minutes, you can have a quick, delicious meal on the table for your family. Throw in some vegetables or chicken and you have a whole other creation!
Reuben Wraps
Comments (2)
These simple wraps are a perfect change of pace from the normal sandwich. Creamy Thousand Island dressing and Gruyere cheese give it the Reuben flavor but since it is made with turkey, it is much healthier. Try it with some baked potato chips or a side salad, and you have a quick meal that is great tasting and great for you!

Larry's Orange Creamsickle Cookies
Comments (1)
These cookies taste just like the old fashioned "Creamsicle Icecream" we all remember. These are great "Dunkin' Cookies". Dunking them in coffee or hot chocolate is the best way to get the most flavor from the orange and white chips.
Avocado-Crabmeat Sandwiches
Comments (1)
These are so simple to put together and utterly delicious. I much like the crab mix not being filled with onion, celery and the like thus letting the crab and lemon shine.
Garbanzo Bean & Tomato Greek Salad
Comments (1)
I found this recipe online and added basil and black beans for more flavor and texture. The photo shows mozarella cheese as a substitute for the Greek feta. Serve with pita bread or a crusty loaf. Image: Grandgrrl (Flickr)
Salad of Lost Jewels with Sweet Chili Dressing
Comments (1)
This is a very simple recipe that I put together for a light lunch. It's fast and easy -- all you need to do is just takes whatever veggies what you have in your fridge or pantry and whip up some dressing. Putting together this salad probably took no more than 10 minutes. The dressing is slightly sweet, balanced out with a splash of fish sauce and lemon juice. Quite refreshing and has a slight hint of Thai flavour. I highly recommend adding in cilantro; it really greatly boosts the flavour!

Tuna Tortilla

Crisp lettuce, tuna, tomato and onion wrapped in a warm garlic and coriander tortilla. Spice up your wrap with pickle and radish. Perfect for the sunny spring lunches.
Banh Mi
Comments (6)
This is a sandwich with a history, but I'm not going to go into that here. This is, I believe, my new favorite use for leftover pork roast, pulled pork and even chicken! It has all of the elements needed for a culinary delight: Crunchy, sweet, sour, salty and just enough fat to make it scrumptious! Best of all it gives you a new use for your left-overs!
Carbonara Pizza
Comments (9)
Rachael Ray makes this amazing carbonara pizza recipe that is quick and delicious. Whenever you are in the mood for pizza, but you want something a little more refined than just pepperoni, try this simple recipe. Serve it with a side salad and voila, you have a complete meal in 30 minutes!
Cucumber and Roasted Peanut Salad
Comments (4)
This salad is very easy to make yet is so flavorful with roasted cumin and black mustard seeds that add nutty taste once you bite into one. Crunchy peanuts add a nice contrast to fresh and juicy cucumber that was marinated with lime juice and little bit of sugar for a short while.
Grandma Nucci's Meatballs
Comments (7)
The most delicious meatballs you will ever eat. With these babies, good cheese is everything. So toss your green plastic parmesan cylinder and buy some fresh grated romano, parmesean, or fontina! Sarah http://the-delicious-life.blogspot.com/
Pollo al mattone
Comments (6)
I love to barbecue, it’s my American side claiming its culinary rights. Whenever I fire the coals and host a backyard cookout, I like to throw a lot on the grill, so besides the classic burgers and franks I usually fuse in some Italian grigliata mista (assortment of grilled meats done over hardwood coals) as well. This means I always have salsicce (sausage), spiedini (Italian kebabs), bistecche (beef steaks), and rosticciana (pork spare ribs) on the menu, and the unfailing chicken under the brick.

Burgers are definitely what comes to mind when most people think "All American Food". Americans have been enjoying burgers at their social gatherings, football games, and parties for centuries. Barbecue chips and bacon give these burgers an awesome flavor everyone will love. This simple recipe will be perfect for holiday celebrations with friends and family. Fire up the grill, and make this quick meal in a flash so you don't miss out on the fun!
Arroz con Pollo
Comments (5)
My Step-Mom, Cora, makes the best Arroz con pollo around!. unfortunately she won't give me the recipe! So I made my own, and tried to make it as similar as possible. Arroz con Pollo is a great meal to make when you have a large group to feed as it is really simple to make. Throw in some vegetables or seasonings that you like, or just make it as is. It will surely become one of your favorites too!

Apple and Pistachio Salad
Comments (2)
I made this for tonights dinner and enjoyed it so much I just had to share! It's light enough to be a side salad if it's in smaller portions but it supplies meal sized fill up in the summer heat. The mint gives a fresh coolness that adds so much to the salad.
Kentucky Bourbon Pork Tenderloin
Comments (4)
My sister's neighbor, Heather, makes this amazing pork tenderloin recipe and my sister just raves about it. It seems like a really simple recipe, but it packs a lot of taste. It would be perfect for a summer night barbecue with friends. Serve it with some potatoes, grilled veggies, and a healthy salad. Yum! So heat up your grill and impress your guests tonight with this delicious, quick meal.

Fruit Pizza

My Great Aunt Shannon makes this dessert that is chock full of fresh fruits. You can use any variety that you like, and you could even substitute chocolate cookie dough instead of sugar. This light, creamy dish would be the perfect ending to an outdoor barbecue. Nice and refreshing!
JG's Grilled Sockeye Salmon
Comments (15)
When the weather gets warm it is an invitation to use our outdoor grill. Grilled Sockeye Salmon is absolutely delicious! It does not need a fancy saucy topping, or any salty addition. Served with a microwaved “baked” potato and a veggie or fruit salad, a healthy and colorful dinner is ready quickly. Yummy!
