Chocolate Kiss Cookies

These appeared in Chocolatier 1 (2) 1984. I loved that magazine and those I have survive every magazine purge. They cookies have a shortbread texture with a surprise chocolate filling. We are weeks away from Xmas and if you start your baking ahead of time note that these can be frozen or kept in a tin in a cool location for several weeks.

Olive Oil Potato Gratin

Ever have a craving for tasty scalloped potatoes, but the thought of all that cream and cheese (and calories) is a turn-off?

This recipe comes to the rescue. Featuring caramelized onions, it is amazingly yummy, and can be prepped - or even baked - the day before - or earlier in the day for an evening meal with family or guests.

Sister Salad

This red leaf lettuce salad recipe entered my life from a picket line. It is popular at family events and there are never left overs. It comes from "Sister Laura" a great colleague and picket line "sister". It's an easy prep-ahead that makes big family events just a bit less stressful.

Shrimp Salad

From Ina Garten - a tasty, crunchy salad using low calorie shrimp, and accented with dill. Great for a picnic, as an appetizer or a main course salad. Have always thought they'd look nice served in little lettuce cups.
