On our honeymoon we stayed with some friends in London and they made us this drink - now we can't stop making it! It is especially delicious on a hot, summer afternoon. The cucumber and mint are odd, but don't leave them out - they make this drink! 

This is a mix between salsa and bruschetta, it's always a hit at parties and picnics. I made this up for my family, 1/2 of them love Italian food and the other 1/2 loves Mexican food. This salsa seems to satisfy all of them. 

A warm, filling main course for breakfast or brunch or a sassy southern side dish for supper. Be sure to make up a mess of biscuits to serve alongside this southern favorite! 

My husband does not like baked beans but can't get enough of these. They are loaded with a variety of meats and get a little bit of sweetness from molasses and brown sugar. 

This delightfully sweet-tart jam makes an extraordinary gift for any occasion. 

This is a delicious variation of a common Middle Eastern dish using grape leaves stuffed with lamb and a variety of seasonings. 

A plain pancake is made with fresh sage and topped with Romano cheese. Excellent for breakfast, brunch, or supper with sausage, bacon, and fried apples. 

Sweet barbeque beans loaded with bacon and ground beef and a surprisingly sweet flavor. The taste of these beans is to die for! 

I recently read about the health benefits of macadamia nuts so I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes that combines them with grilled tuna. It's a great healthy summer recipe! 

This is a drink that you can order at any bar in France. It's a little sweet and has a pretty color; I don't like beer, but I like this drink. I use about 1/4 teaspoon grenadine, but use less or more depending on how sweet you would like your drink. 

This lamb and lentil stew is finished with lemon then served with crumbled ricotta salata or feta cheese for a perfect springtime meal. Serve with rice or, ideally, a pilaf. 

This recipe will make an addict out of you. Not so sure that's a good thing - but one thing is for sure - this is the best cosmo you will ever taste in your entire life. Period! 

An Asian twist with water chestnuts and bean sprouts makes this a wonderful and different burger to fix on the grill. 

Pomegranate Molasses is a syrup used in Middle Eastern cooking. It has a bright ruby red color, and its sweet and sour flavor goes well with so many other ingredients. It is commonly available in Middle Eastern markets, but is easily made at home if you can get pomegranate juice, now easily found in supermarkets. 

Tons of flavor with very little work! I spent the day looking for bay scallop recipes online and inspired I came up with this keeper! 

Like French fries? Then you will love this Latino version of an American favorite! Treat yuca just like you treat potatoes. Yuca can also be used to make a scrumptious alternative to home fries for breakfast. 

Abundant spices make this better than any restaurant curry I've tasted. 

This chopped salad mixes arugula, Belgian endive and radicchio with the magical combo of pine nuts and Parmesan, tossed in a mustard and oregano vinaigrette.  

Couscous, cream-style corn and mozzarella cheese combine in this filling side dish. 

I recreated this deliciously refreshing vegetable sandwich from my favorite bakery. The cool crispness is perfect anytime of the year!
