Greek-Style Rib Eye Steaks

Submitted by: Ruby Williams 
Because our children are grown, I often cook for just my husband and me. When I want to serve something special, this is the entree I usually reach for. Seasonings, black olives and feta cheese give steak great flavor. --Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg dish. Enjoy! This would be great with shrimp as well.

Vanilla Berry Parfaits

Submitted by: Rebecca 
Delicious and easy, this is a fabulous mix of berries and yogurt! If you like, you can make a thin layer of graham crackers or granola in each vanilla/berry layer. That gives it a little more crunch.

Living In: Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, U.K.
In the North of Ireland, locals treat themselves to this enormous breakfast on the weekends. The fried breads make it unique. Soda bread and potato farls are cooked in reserved bacon fat making them golden and crispy. Served alongside Irish bacon, sausage, black pudding, tomato and egg - you won't need to eat again for the rest of the day!

Toasted, salty, and tangy, reuben sandwiches are classic! This recipe is made with turkey instead of the corned beef and mayonnaise with hot sauce instead of Thousand Island dressing. This updated Reuben will satisfy with a full and slightly spicy flavor.

Banh-Mi Style Vietnamese Baguette

Submitted by: Lilien 
Living In: Seattle, Washington, USA
These are by far the best sandwiches to serve your guests and yourself! The ingredients are fresh, delicious, popular and fills your mouth with marinated joy. You can usually find the high-caloric sandwich (variety of meat on mayonnaise) in your local Vietnamese baguette shop but here is a hearty Vegetarian version (if you do not use fish sauce) using portabello mushrooms.
