Easy Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
You won't find an easier recipe than this one. I make this when my girlfriends and I get together for a playday. You can prepare this recipe ahead of time to save time, it also makes the salad taste extra yummy! If you are rushed for time, use grape tomatoes cut in half and baby boccaccini and toss with the other ingredients in a bowl. No arranging needed.

Fast Tomato Salsa
This recipe can be made anytime of the year but is best with fresh ripe tomatoes.
-
Easy Guacamole
This is a great recipe to make all year long and is a perfect recipe to get the kids interested in cooking. During tomato season we get the kids to pick the ingredients from the garden, combine with store bought items and they create their own masterpiece!
-
Veggie Spaghetti Sauce (or Chili)
Very good over whole wheat or vegetable pasta, or in lasagne. Cooked sauce can be baked in a casserole dish with cooked pasta. Freezes well. I usually bring some of this on our multi-family camping trip for a traditional shared spaghetti night.
-
Dressed Green Beans
This was so good, I actually had a dinner party just so I could introduce this recipe. Everyone loved them.
-
Spring Rolls
This is a great recipe for uncooked spring rolls. I found it on the net awhile back and have enjoyed them many times since. To put the recipe together you can find everything you need at a vientamese grocer or anywhere they have specialty foods. I hope you will enjoy them too!
-
Cooking Pumpkin
An easy way to use up those jack o lantrens. It can also be put in baggies and frozen for future use. I never waste anything!
-
Chili Beans, Border Style
You can be creative and change the beans around, I used kidney and white beans and it tasted great. This recipe can be a great vegetarian meal if you add a salad and some thick bread. I hope you like it as much as our family does.

Asparagus Tips
I was recently at a food show and found this great info on asparagus. With the season upon us I thought those who had not tried preparing it would find this info useful. Asparagus is great raw and cooked!

Broccoli and Cheese Bake
This could be eaten, hot, cold or warm. It's excellent for a picnic or BBQ.
-
Really Ripping Lentil Soup
Packed with lots of nutrients.

Green Beans with Onions
If you are lucky (depending on the area of Canada you are living in) you will have a batch still in the garden. If not this is a great way to add some taste to some frozen or store bough fresh green beans.
