Appetizers And Snacks - Bruschetta Ii

A little French ...a little Italian ...and the end result is a sensational appetizer. A scrumptious spinach/basil pesto is whirled in the food processor until of spreading consistency. Slices of baguette are lightly toasted and then anointed with the pesto.

A moist quick bread with a faint hint of orange flavor, and the tang of bits of cranberries.

Desserts - Grammys Ice Box Cookies

Walnuts and cinnamon flavor this refrigerator cookie ready to bake when you are.

Herbs And Spices - Smoked Salmon Spread

A delicious and easy spread that always gets many compliments. Serve it with somewhat bland crackers to taste the smoked salmon. You can add some chopped capers for more flavor, if needed. I usually serve this on a nice plate and put the spread in a mold before serving.

Side Dish - Rum And Sweet Potato Casserole

This is a simple recipe for sweet potato casserole. But it is also the best I have tasted, enriched with eggs, milk, and rum, and topped with a crunchy pecan streusel. It is a standard at all holiday dinners in my family. The amount of rum can be varied according to taste (the casserole is also good without it, if you so desire.)

Breakfast And Brunch - Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

This is a great recipe that I found in my Grandma's recipe book. Judging from the weathered look of this recipe card, this was a family favorite.

Desserts - Beer Nut Cookies

Also good with honey-roasted and salted nuts.
