This has become a family favourite!! The dressing is wonderful with a nice garlicy tang to it. Works fine with any blue cheese, I use stilton most often. Also, I don't use avocado all the time and still tastes great.

This was one of the best risotto's I've had (and made!). Fresh basil & parm are a must for this recipe!! I bbq'd some turkey as well to add to the rice and ate it as a meal. It was surprisingly good the next day as leftovers, not too dry which can often happen with risotto.

This salad was great and very filling, it was all I needed for dinner and it kept me full for several hours! I ate it right away and it still tasted amazing! Used dried parsley instead and it still had a nice flavour.

This is hands down a new favourite for any get together! I haven't met someone who doesn't fall in love with them after one bite!! I use less ketchup though (about 1/2 cup less) and add more worcestershire (to my taste preference). I also cut a lb of bacon in 1/3 to make it go a bit farther (and with less guilt about eating too much bacon!). This allows you to use 3 cans of water chestnuts so there are plenty to go around! I bake them on a foil lined cookie sheet at 400 for about 1/2 hr, pour off the grease, smother them in the sauce then they go back in for another 15-20 mins (we like them crispy!).
