Greek Pasta Salad
I made this for a potluck lunch with our local Diabetes support group. Everybody liked it and asked for the recipe. The before we had it for supper. It tasted great. I had enough leftovers for another 2 meals. My wife and thought it tasted better with each day longer in the fridge. My wife told me to make enough so we will have some leftovers. I definitely make this again. It was the best pasta salad I ever had. Thanks Danielle for sharing this great recipe.

Laura's Lemon Roasted Potatoes
WOW! What a great taste. I made them yesterday as a side dish with a beef tenderloin. My wife was excited about the taste. I made them exactly following the recipe, and the didn't come out crispy at all. Probably as I had too much oil and butter as other reviewers suggested. Despite this, I give them a 5 star as with both liked the great taste. I definetly make them again, maybe with some changes. Thank you Laura for sharing this great recipe.

French Spring Soup
I made this yesterday four our Sunday soup lunch. As we are only 2 people, I used only about half of the ingredients. Instead of water I used vegetable broth and what I got was fantastic fingerlicking good. My wife also was excited about the taste of it. And it's ready within a short time. I definetely make this again. Thanks to Sanzoe for sharing this great recipe.
