My family loves biscotti, so I combined peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to make another flavor for our biscotti jar. Hubby claims that this recipe is amazing, hence the name: amazing peanut butter cup biscotti. Wrapped in cellophane bags, they are perfect for bake sales.

Okra Fritters
In the South, grits and okra are everywhere. I threw this recipe together when trying to come up with something different. When I make it for the kids, I leave out the tomatoes and onion.
Spring Vegetable Frittata for Mother
This is a special spring vegetable frittata recipe. It always feels a little wrong to make a frittata with freshly cooked vegetables, since the whole point of the dish is to use up leftovers. However, since we're making this for a Mother's Day brunch, we'll make an exception. If you make sure all your vegetables are tender, hot, and well-seasoned before adding your eggs, not much can go wrong.
West African Peanut Soup
Tomatoes and peanut butter? YES! The first time I tried this at a health food restaurant, I was hooked. About 5 years of tweaking the recipe to my personal taste has created a spicy, sweet favorite amongst my friends and family. Luckily there is always enough for everyone!
