A delicious take on the usual sun-dried tomato tapenade but don't be tempted to use California sundried tomatoes because they are too sweet. I've never actually had the patience to chill this and always end up serving it right away. It's a huge hit! Serve with your favorite crackers.

Homemade Turkey Gravy
This homemade turkey gravy is super simple to make with the pan drippings you have after cooking the turkey. It's much better than using a jar or a can. You can adjust the flavor by using turkey or vegetable stock, white wine, or herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
Peanut Butter Popcorn Balls
My mom made these peanut butter popcorn balls every Halloween when I was a kid and it was still okay to give out homemade treats. Now I make it as a moist and chewy fall snack. You can make it into balls or leave it loose and serve it like caramel corn if you prefer.
Broiled Grouper with Creamy Crab and Shrimp Sauce
I modeled this after dishes I've had in restaurants at the beach. You can use any white fish. I served the fish and sauce over rice. It's fast, easy, and delicious!
