Zucchini-Feta Rolls
These vegetarian antipasti rolls with zucchini and feta are ideal for a party because you can make them a couple of days before.
Peach Cheesecake
My recipe card for this peach cheesecake is stained and worn, if that tells you anything. I've had more requests for a copy of this recipe than any other dish I make. It smells heavenly when it's baking and tastes even better! I almost always double the recipe because it disappears fast.
Crisp Pickled Green Beans
These pickled green beans turn out very crisp with a wonderful dill flavor, and the red pepper flakes provide a nice punch. This recipe is from my grandmother's cookbook that she passed on to all her grandchildren. It's much better than those that call for cooking the beans first.
