Gramma's Date Squares
I felt there was too much sugar in the crumble for my taste. Will make this recipe again but will cut the sugar in the crumble by a third or half.

Seven Layer Tortilla Pie
Left out the tomatoes and salsa to prevent the pie from getting soggy in the fridge. Also prebaked the tortilla as others suggested. Fried some onions and jalapeno as well as the pinto and black into a thick mush adding a package of spicy taco seasoning and a cup of water. Mashed the beans and cooked the mixture until it was nice and thick. Served the pie with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa as well as with a tossed side green salad. The pie tasted great, even reheated.

Spinach and Orzo Salad
I substituted red wine vinegar for balsamic (so that my salad wouldn't be brown like others mentioned) and sunflower seeds for pine nuts (more affordable ;) and added sundried tomatoes. Instead of combining all the ingredients at once, I only combined the cooked orzo, sundried tomatoes, red onion, basil, pepper, oil and vinegar to marinate in the fridge. And, every time I wanted a serving, I would toss the marinated orzo with fresh spinach, crumbled feta, and sunflower seeds. Every serving of the salad was crunchy and flavourful, even days later. I served with pita, hummus and kalamata olives.
