Smashed Potatoes

So easy, so tasty & goes with any meal... breakfast, lunch or dinner! The best part about these potatoes is that you can customize them in so many ways to compliment whatever dish you're serving them with. Just alter the herbs/spices to match your dish.

Green Greens Salad with Basil Ranch Dressing

I created this salad in the mid 1970's for an "Ecology Themed" pot luck dinner. Over the years it has evolved to incorporate more modern & healthful ingredients and has become my Signature Salad Dish. It's an especially fun salad for St. Patrick's Day & Earth Day.

Hot Mulled Apple Cider

On a cold day, there's nothing more comforting & delicious than sipping on this hot cider. The warm, soothing spices, citrus & apple are a blend made in heaven! Don't limit yourself to serving this hot, this cider also makes a very refreshing cold drink on a hot summer day.

Yield: 16 - 8 oz servings

Gourmet Cheese Fondue

This recipe was given to me, in the 1980's, by the famous Melting Pot restaurant. It's the best cheese fondue I've ever had. You can serve this as an appetizer, a snack for a few people or a light meal. It's really easy to make, fun to eat & cleanup is so easy. You're going to love it!

Serves: 2 to 4

Pears with Raspberry Sauce

This tastes totally decadent, like something you'd eat in an expensive restaurant, yet it's healthy & easy to make. It makes a wonderful breakfast, anytime snack or healthy dessert.

Serves: 2 to 4

Creamy Carrot Soup

This is one of my favorite soups, especially in the Fall & Winter months! Not only are all the ingredients healthy for you on so many levels, but it's very creamy, so delicious & easy to make. I love to serve this with warmed up, crusty, multigrain rolls & butter.

Serves: 3 to 4 as a light meal or 4 to 6 as a starter
