Charred Vegetable Salsa

This is one of the Mary Sue Milliken recipes my kids made at the Kids' (good-for-you) Cooking Academy that we all really loved. Charring the vegetables gives the salsa a deep rich flavor and the tomatillos give it a nice tang. Sue's recipe calls for 3 Roma tomatoes but I used what I had on hand and it turned out great. It's super simple to make and tastes so much better than store bought

Creamy Low Fat Buttermilk Basil Dressing

We loved the buttermilk dill dressing so much I decided to try making it with fresh basil and parsley this time. I also decided to add a bit of lemon because I love basil and lemon together. It turned out fantastic and we all enjoyed it. Making homemade dressing is so quick, easy, and affordable.Creamy Low Fat Buttermilk Basil Dressing:Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking1/2 cup of low

Pineapple Salsa

I really like adding the sweetness of fruit to savory dishes. I picked up a fresh pineapple at the store and decided to make a salsa with it. It's extremely easy to make and tastes so good. I used this on top of tacos but it would also be wonderful served on top of chicken, fish, or pork as well.Pineapple Salsa:Recipe and Photos by For the Love of Cooking.net1 small pineapple, cored and diced (

Avocado and Corn Salsa

My generous neighbor Jack gave me a bunch of fresh corn and tomatoes from his garden. I was making a Mexican meal for dinner and decided to incorporate the fresh veggies into a salsa. I've been seeing a lot of avocado and corn salsas on other food blogs and decided to give it a try. I adapted this recipe from one I found on Epicurious. It was really easy to make and so delicious.

Creamy Clam Dip

We had friends over for dinner a few days ago and instead of having a sit down meal we decided to make a bunch of appetizers. It was a simple, casual and tasty dinner. Everyone enjoyed grazing throughout the evening - especially the kids. I adapted this recipe from my newest library find, "Gourmet Every Day". I really like this cookbook, it has fun and family friendly recipes that are a bit

Time to vent. I found out today (thank you so much for your help Kathy) that my blog has been the victim of many blog scrapers. Not only are they taking my entire posts, recipes and photos but they are not giving me credit or a link back to my site. They are using my recipes as their own to make money. It's not just a couple of recipes but at least four different sites have nearly EVERY single
