Pistachio Fluff Fruit Salad
This is a light and fluffy dessert salad based on pistachio pudding; the pudding is made lighter with the addition of whipped topping. Add an extra can of mandarin oranges, if you like.
Quinoa and Black Beans
A flowering plant in the amaranthus family, quinoa is a pseudograin that is grown for it seeds. After harvest, the seeds are processed to remove the bitter-tasting outer seed coat. Versatile for many dishes, cooked quinoa supplies nutrient content similar to wheat and rice, such as moderate amounts of protein, dietary fiber, and minerals. Quinoa is gluten-free. Quinoa originated in the Andes mountains of northwestern South America.
Killer Chicken Queso
This is my jazzed up version of classic queso dip taken to a heartier level, perfect for football games, tailgating or for taking along to pot lucks in a slow cooker!
Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps
Jalapenos are stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped with bacon, and barbecued on the grill.
Delicious Mushroom Risotto
Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).
