'Something Different' Fruit Salad
A little lime, salt, and honey go a long way in this dish created out of sheer boredom. One night last summer we were grilling fish and corn, yet again. When I asked my boyfriend what he wanted as a second side dish, all he said was, 'something different.' I decided to try a twist on the traditional fruit salad that I grew up eating, and it was a huge hit! The best thing about this recipe is that most fruits are great with the dressing, so you can use your favorites or whatever is in season.

Classic Tiramisu
This easy tiramisu recipe makes a classic Italian dessert with ladyfingers dipped in coffee liqueur and a sweet mascarpone mixture. I think the layers look beautiful when you make the tiramisu in a glass bowl and dust the top with cocoa powder and chocolate curls.
