Fruits And Vegetables - Drupey Pie

I added fresh, ripe nectarines and apricots to this sour cherry pie. These fruits are drupe fruits meaning they are fleshy with a hard stone or seed in the middle. The pie was summery and delicious! I really like to use turbinado sugar--it's less processed and has a good flavor--but white sugar would be fine, too.

Bread - Coconut Bread Pudding

The classic bread pudding is enhanced with coconut flakes and coconut milk.

Bbq Grilling - Individual Grilled Veggie Pizzas

Fire up the grill to make a pair of individual-sized veggie pizzas topped with pesto sauce, portobello mushrooms, zucchini, butternut squash, broccoli, red onion, plus gorgonzola and fontina cheeses.

Appetizers And Snacks - Steak On A Stick

A quick and easy, very tasty version of the teriyaki steak-on-a-stick that you get from a Chinese restaurant. It's great as an appetizer or even as finger food at a football watching party! I also use it for just plain old regular steaks to grill! Either way, it's awesome! My uncle came up with the recipe and gave it to my mother, who passed it on to me! LOVE it!

Cheese - Fancy Potatoes

Potatoes are blended with sour cream and cream cheese and topped with Cheddar cheese, for a rich and creamy side dish you'll want to make again and again.

Pasta - Good For You Macaroni And Cheese

Using the best of all the ideas out there, this mac n' cheese incorporates old-style methods with hidden veggies and a crunchy, new topping that will please both kids and adults. I like to use 'smart' pasta that has calcium and fiber. It's too good to be good for you!

Breakfast And Brunch - Blueberry Bread Ii

Buttermilk makes an especially light batter for this yummy yeast bread. This recipe calls for dried blueberries, which may be found at larger or specialty grocery stores.
