Appetizers - The holidays bring all kinds of opportunities for munching. Whether you are entertaining a crowd or simply looking for some fun recipes, these will do the trick.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars - A great way to get kids involved in the kitchen, is by preparing a recipe that will satisfy their sweet tooth. Many children love the opportunity to measure, mix, and bake, and don't even mind the clean up afterward. Try this tasty treat with your kids.

Cool Treats - Need a fun treat to make with the kids that involves absolutely NO cooking or baking? These yummies are perfect for the days ahead as warm weather approaches.

Decorative Vegetables - A picnic or holiday table adorned with decorative vegetables is pleasing to the eye as well as appetizing! Making fresh vegetables look like the pros do does not have to be difficult. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Desserts - There are several tasty desserts that are perfect for get togethers, parties, barbecues, picnics and more. Perfect for holidays, birthday, anniversaries and more.

Mini Cucumber Sandwiches - These mini open faced cucumber sandwiches have been around for as long as I can remember. From office parties to family gatherings, they are a tasty and refreshing addition to any appetizer tray.

Nanaimo Bars - These delicious cookies are a staple of local cafes in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. These bars freeze well, so it's nice to make extras to keep in the freezer for anytime you want a quick treat. Before cutting the bars, if you dip your knife into hot water to heat it, it will help make the process neater and cut easily through the chocolate.

Sides & Salads - Great side dish ideas for your next party or barbecue. Perfect to pack up for camping trips or just for a picnic. Try these ideas today.

Ultimate Lemon Bars - This recipe takes lemon bars, that lunchbox and bake sale favorite, to whole new levels. I served them at a New Year's Party dessert buffet, and everyone declared them a favorite (they even beat out cheesecake and chocolate tarts!).
