Shrimp Primavera with Goat Cheese
This dish is one of my favorites. If you like goat cheese it will become one of yours as well. I was inspired to make this dish after trying a similar one made with chicken at a local restaurant. Serve with a nice crusty loaf of french bread, a garden salad, and a glass of your favorite red wine!
Ice Cream Pie
My great-grandma's ice cream pie includes a Rice Krispies® crust and peanut buttery chocolate topping. This recipe can be changed to accommodate different tastes by changing the flavor of ice cream. My cousin has tried several different ones and loves them all.
Northern Italian Beef Stew
This hearty beef and vegetable stew that can be made in the slow-cooker is a family favorite. It is also the backbone for an excellent beef soup, if you actually find yourself with leftovers.
