"We were served this very simple and delicious dessert at a friend's house yesterday. Both the adults and the kids had a great time dipping and devouring!"

Ingredients: fresh strawberries, plain nonfat yogurt...

"Mind-boggingly simple. If you are in a super hurry you can mix and serve the dip immediately, but the flavor is better after sitting for a while."

Ingredients: fresh Italian parsley, mayonnaise...

"I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don't make this if you can't get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It's not worth doing. And don't use your tomatoes from the fridge."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, olive oil...

"This recipe is easily cut in half if this is too much. This refreshing punch is delicious, and always a hit at any summer gathering. Use a Citrus Ice Ring (recipe posted separately) in the punch bowl -- it's pretty, and it keeps the punch cold."

Ingredients: frozen concentrated orange juice, frozen limeade concentrate...

"These are easy and delicious. We prefer these rolled in ground almonds, although they are also great in coconut."

Ingredients: coconut, evaporated milk...

Ingredients: ground cumin, dried garbanzo beans...

"Low in calories, creamy (even with nonfat milk), alcohol-free, kid-friendly, and nutritious. This was inspired by Heather Sullivan's Strawberry Julius #24088. Can be made vegan using soy milk or even tofu"

Ingredients: nonfat milk, coconut extract...

"Okay, this is not something James Bond would be caught dead drinking, but it is shaken, and not stirred. A really cool drink, especially if you freeze the vodka first. Make this with Godiva liqueur if you can, it's got the best chocolatey taste."

Ingredients: chocolate, chocolate-flavored liqueur...

"Lightly sweet and savoury with a delicate but addicting flavor. The original recipe called for currants and almonds, but since I didn't have either, I came up with this winning variation. Prep time doesn't include soaking the cranberries or refrigeration."

Ingredients: pepper, cream cheese...

"Are Ben & Jerry two of your best friends? Then try this copycat ice cream recipe! (Prep time includes LOTS of chilling time.)"

Ingredients: eggs, heavy cream, milk...

"Very simple and very elegant. Not bad for the diet either!"

Ingredients: currant jelly, graham cracker crumbs...

"Now that spring is here (boing) and summer is on the way, here's a refreshing soup that's delicious and just a tiny bit sophisticated."

"I clipped this back in the early 1980s from a Toronto Star article on St. Patricks Day, and just found it tonight! Talk about timing!"

Ingredients: black coffee, whipped cream...
