Grandma Skeet's Prune Kolaches
This is a Czech Pastry my Grandma use to make with a homemade prune filling and streusel topping. I changed it a little so I could use the bread machine. They are worth the hard work!
Dilly Bloody Mary
Calling all pickle lovers! Kick up your Bloody Mary with loads of pickle flavor! Serve with your favorite garnishes - the possibilities are endless! I like to serve with a skewer of pickled onion, pickled jalapeno, olive, and a mini dill. The flavor of pickle brine varies depending on brand, so start with 1 ounce, and if a more pronounced pickle flavor is desired, add another ounce.
Green Gazpacho
Serve cold, no-cook gazpacho made from honeydew melon, cucumber, and avocado as a starter, or as part of a light meal when it's just too hot to cook.
