  • Appetizer Veggie Pizza - Whether it's for a party at the office or a holiday gathering, this is a perfect appetizer. Topped with fresh vegetables and cheese, you just can't go wrong.
  • 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.
  • Appetizers & Beverages - Try these tasty appetizers and thirst quenching beverages for your next get together. Strawberry Blossoms and Sunrise Mimosas are just a couple of the tasty treats waiting for you here.
  • BLT Bites - This brilliant recipe takes a classic bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, and morphs it into a fabulous appetizer. Perfect for Father's Day, picnics, barbecues, or the big game. Make up a batch or two for your guests!
  • Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Covered Strawberries - These plump strawberries filled with cheesecake, dipped in chocolate and then drizzled are perfect for birthdays, parties, celebrations, and holidays. Summer is the perfect time for these chocolately decendant fruits.
  • Chicken Asparagus Penne Pasta Salad - When you think of summer and food, pasta salads are one of the first things that come to mind. Pasta salads are refreshing, usually full of fresh vegetables, and pack lots of energy. If you are counting your carbs, we've got you covered! This salad uses a pasta that is high in fiber and lower on the glycemic index.
  • 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.
  • Cooking Out In Style - Hamburgers, Corn on The Cob, Grilled Onions and Sliced Watermelon. Make your barbeque a success!
  • 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.
  • Dressing Up a Cupcake For the Holidays - Cupcakes are everywhere right now and some can fetch a pretty penny. There is no reason you can't make amazing cupcakes that rival the fancy cupcake bakeries without spending hours in the kitchen or spending a fortune on supplies.
  • Fourth of July Dessert Ideas - Here are some delicious ideas for this Fourth of July's bash. We've included a diabetic recipe as well as the infamous Flag Cake.
  • Fresh Cherry Limeade - Looking for a refreshing summer drink that you can serve at a barbecue, family get together, or just something fun to make with the kids? By combining the sweet flavors of vanilla and cherries with the tart taste of fresh limes, you can make a cherry limeade that will have friends and family begging for the recipe!
  • Ice Cream in a Baggie - Looking for something new to entertain the kids during the dog days of summer? Here is a great recipe that can be made outdoors to minimize on the muss and fuss and will also let the kids help out in the process.
  • July 4th Treats - Kids love to create. Food is no exception! Here are some fun treats to make this Fourth of July. Help your kids surprise your family and friends with these delicious additions to the dessert table.
  • Lemon Bar Flags - Make these delicious lemon bar flags for your Independence Day celebration. Friends and family will marvel at your culinary talents!
  • Liven Up Your Iced Tea - Iced tea is a traditional refreshing drink during the warm months, and one of my favorites. However, there is so much more you can do with tea to liven up your days and nights!
  • 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.
  • Patriotic Cake Balls - Hooray for the red, white & blue! These colorful cake balls are the perfect festive touch for your Independence Day picnic table. Getting the kids involved in making these treats will also help stave off summer boredom from settling in.
  • Patriotic Crispy Rice Star Sparklers - Kids will have fun waving these star sparklers to celebrate the 4th of July. Made from crispy rice cereal and gooey marshmallows, these all American treats will add a festive touch to your holiday table and provide a tasty dessert for after the picnic.
  • 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.
  • Slushies - Kool-Aid packages and ice turn into a refreshing summer treat for all the kids, and mom and dad too! Break out that blender and make some homemade slushies today instead of spending money at the store!
  • Strawberry-Balsamic Appetizer - This is a quick and easy appetizer with quite a sophisticated flavor. These little bites combine strawberries, balsamic vinegar and cracked black pepper. The base for the appetizer is the cracked black pepper and olive oil flavored Triscuit cracker. Try some of these tasty nibbles at your next get together, perfect for Mother's Day or July 4th!
  • Summer Barbeque Ideas for the Vegetarian - Summer brings with it long sunny days, hot poolside picnics and, of course, backyard barbecues. With holidays like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day, there's always an excuse to have an outdoor feast. The BBQ classics, burgers, hot dogs and chicken salad are sure to please most of your guests. But how about trying something a little new this time around? Don't ditch your family favorites; just expand your spread with vegetarian options that everyone will love.
  • Summer Fruit Kabobs - For your next trip to the beach, pack these easy to make fruit kabobs into your cooler for something healthy to munch on. Who says that fast food can't be healthy or nutritious? Kids will love to make this easy fruit recipe!
  • Summer Treats: Popsicles for Pennies! - You can make popsicles inexpensively and deliciously out of all kinds of wonderful things. All you need are some popsicle molds and something sweet to put in them. Pick up the popsicle molds at garage sales or thrift stores for even bigger savings!
  • 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!).
  • Vegetable Dips - Try these delicious dips for your next party, barbecue or picnic. Perfect for dipping raw, cut up vegetables. Also a healthy snack for kids!
