This recipe for venison Sloppy Joes comes from my friend who is a guide in Alaska. It's excellent for sandwiches on rolls with sharp Cheddar cheese. Yum yum! It's slow-cooked in a slow cooker so even the toughest of roasts or stew meats will work; eventually the meat just falls apart! It's also good served over hot cooked rice.

Edie's Patatosalata

Red potato salad with a light oil, vinegar, and herb dressing. No mayonnaise. My kids love it! If you like, you can leave the skins on the potatoes for a more colorful dish.

Thera's Canadian Fried Dough

This beaver tails dessert is popular in Canada, especially in Ottawa, Ontario. Also known as pigs' ears, this whole wheat pastry is fried and covered in an assortment of goodies. I have perfected the recipe, so my friends and I no longer go out to get them — I just make them at home. Enjoy, eh!

Italian Party Bread

If an Italian deli exploded inside a loaf of bread, it would be this crispy meat and cheese-stuffed braid that I call party bread. With only five ingredients, including premade pizza dough, it's incredibly easy to make. Feel free to use homemade dough or turn this Italian party into a Spanish one using Serrano ham and Manchego cheese—or even a French one with Gruyère and Dijon!
