Thai Crunch Salad with Peanut Dressing is full of crunchy good-for-you ingredients, and the peanut dressing is so good you’d want to eat it with a spoon.

Moist, bursting with bold flavors, Beer-Braised Beef Tacos is made easier in the slow cooker so that you can set it and forget it.  It was as big of a hit with you guys as it was with James and me.

Spaghetti and Meatballs. This is a back-to-basics dish, except that you can have it ready in under 45 minutes.  Always a favorite with kids and adults alike.

Lavender Honey Macarons. Bite-sized, stacked cookies in beautiful purple hue are flavored with lavender and honey = recipe for success!  People always get excited when I bring macarons to a party.  If you’ve never made it before, now is the time to conquer that beast!
