Thanksgiving Cheese Ball
Similar to other cheese ball recipes, yet different! Our family has this every year as a prelude to Thanksgiving dinner, along with a relish tray, to use up those last few minutes while the turkey's browning. Double it and freeze one for New Year's! Serve with an array of crackers.
Jalapeno-Bacon Stuffing
This is a side dish that goes great with turkey and is 100 times better than a "stovetop stuffing." If you take it to a potluck dinner you will be forever doomed to repeat the same dish forever...they demand it year after year. The jalapenos are the key; I chop them very fine. I have used up to 6 tablespoons, but 4 seems about perfect.
Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce
I love to use cherry tomatoes to make a quick and delicious pasta sauce from scratch with olive oil, garlic, and fresh oregano. Toss with hot penne pasta, ladle into bowls, and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano for a simple but amazing summer pasta dish.
