Danielle's Seafood Chowder
I wanted to serve a different dish from the usual seafood casserole so I played with the dish and came up with this.
Mint Buttercream Frosting With Dark Chocolate Glaze
This mint frosting recipe is a good frosting for mayonnaise cake. If you're really having a chocolate fit, double the glaze! The frosting and cake are rich enough to cut the unsweetened chocolate taste. Pour some glaze on the middle layer, too.
Mall Pretzels
Big chewy pretzels like those sold in the mall! You may substitute garlic salt or cinnamon sugar for the coarse salt if you wish.
