Aileen's Punch
My sister's friend gave her this recipe years ago to use at our parents' 25th wedding anniversary party. We never had a name for it other than Aileen's Punch! This is very refreshing and so easy to put together. I recommend making an ice ring out of extra pineapple juice or apricot nectar.
Potato and Zucchini Frittata
This recipe is great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. If you're eating this as a main meal serve it with a nice fresh salad. You can adapt it at will, adding some bacon or different sorts of vegetables. An optional extra is to add some grated cheese on the top before putting it in the oven.
Buttermilk Honey Wheat Bread
A very nice whole wheat bread with the taste of honey. Great right out of the oven.
