Australians and New Zealanders both claim Pavlova and this recipe is so easy it feels like cheating! I first had it when a friend brought it to our final dress rehearsal and begged her for the recipe! It is especially striking when the fruits and berries are in season. Personally, I like to add coconut for the crunch, but it's NOT sweetened coconut – it's unsweetened, in big flakes, and I get it from the fruit and nut guy at our commissary. It's a real crowd pleaser and the best thing about it is you can make it a day ahead. Just allow the meringue to fully cool and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and fruit just prior to serving.

Adults only! This is watermelon and liquor...perfect for BBQ's, picnics, camping and by the pool! Use any liquor you like, even wine works! I use seedless watermelon, but you don't have to.

Almond Ice

This is a very light almond gelatin that chills and sets up beautifully. Chill in a large pan so that it can be cut into squares and tumbled into serving dishes and topped with fresh fruit.

If you like lemons, then you 'll love this creamy pie. It calls for lemon juice, lemon rind and a sprinkling of lemon zest. The lemon filling is sandwiched between layers of whipped cream and topped with a yummy meringue crust that is dusted with lemon zest.

Not your typical apple pie - Hershey's Cinnamon Chips are scattered throughout, and in the streusel, giving the apples the cinnamon flavor they deserve.

German cheesecakes use 'quark', a soft unripened cheese. Cottage cheese makes a good substitute in this recipe.

This recipe has real Mexican flavor with avocados and lime. It is unique, easy, and fabulous. You must have an ice cream maker.
