Sweet Potato Cornbread

Baked Beans

-Lavender Lynn

Ranch & Avocado Pasta Salad

Couscous With Mint, Dill & Feta
"This was so easy to make and so fresh. I can see us serving this with many types of food.”

Heirloom Tomato Panzanella

-PJ1971
Dorito Taco Salad
"I have been using this recipe sans beans for several years. I use nacho flavored Doritos, break them up & mix them in with the salad just as I'm getting ready to serve it. As you say, it's always a hit and seldom is any left."
