Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Casserole
If you're a PB&J fan, get ready for a treat. This fun twist on French toast is a combination of bread pudding and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Green Bean and Asparagus Salad
Very tasty salad of roasted asparagus and green beans. I got the inspiration when I was indecisive about choosing between the two vegetables for a side dish. Roasting the vegetables brings out their great flavor and the addition of cherry tomatoes, onion, and fresh parsley give it a lovely color.

This recipe is the best for seafood lovers. Clams are steamed with sake and mirin and a bit of butter and green onion in this Japanese-style preparation. My husband likes it so much.
