Tropical Ice Cream Sandwiches
I'm not sure why this is showing up with only three stars when I have a five star review, but I made this for the fourth of july and it was a hit again! If you don't want to do sandwiches, you can fill the center of an angel food cake with the icecream and top with the coconut fruit mixture, seriously gorgeous and delicious!

Sunchoke and Sausage Soup
This really is one of my favorites. Hate to rate my own recipe but sunchokes are totally underrated. I just made this again the other day and EVERYONE loved it. So unusual around here with all the rabid meat eaters!

Hot German Potato Salad III
The only substitutions I would make would be to use cider vinegar, add dried garlic, onion powder, paprika, dill weed, and any other seasonings you see fit (you can even use a really good seasoning salt). I cooked the onion in some of the bacon fat and cubed the potato into a 1/2 inch dice. The bacon should be added last with chopped green onion. You can cook the onion in the bacon fat and then add the flour to it with chicken broth to give it flavor and moisture. Overall great starter recipe.
