Pizza Cupcakes
These pizza cupcakes are a great portable savory snack and a tasty addition to a game-day buffet. They're sort of like a mini pizza, except shaped like a cupcake. Feel free to customize to your family's tastes with additions like ham, sausage, bell peppers, salami, mushrooms, olives, jalapeños, etc. I recommend not omitting the tomato — it really adds something special.

Garden Tuna Pasta Salad
A delicious pasta salad that tastes great with all the veggies in it. I substitute canned shrimp in place of canned tuna if I want to change it up a bit.
