Tajin® Fruit Salad
This fruit salad is commonly found on street carts in Mexico. For a fun twist I added bananas and fresh pineapple, and chopped fresh mint for added color. Very refreshing.
Charline's Sweet Potato Casserole
Charline's sweet potato casserole is a great recipe — my children insist on it every holiday! Lots of miniature marshmallows, coconut, and pecans make this an extra special and yummy Thanksgiving delight. Use fresh or canned sweet potatoes. Prepare the topping while the casserole is baking.
Ricotta Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
A combo of sweet, fresh pineapple paired with a tangy ricotta cake makes for a deliciously decadent flavor combo. Don't use skim ricotta for this—it's too watery, and won't provide the flavor that makes this cake so good.
