The Night Off

This can be served as an accompanying meal or on its own. So many fresh flavors including dill, cucumber and parsley, this is a great dish all year round. Jumbo shrimp are roasted to perfection and take this salad to the next level. At your request shrimp can be left out.  Serves 10-12

Sweet and savory is always a good combination. Pears are stuffed with herbed goat cheese and wrapped with bacon. I use turkey bacon, but can be made with pork bacon or no bacon at your request. Your guests will love this dish!

I can’t be invited to a party without being asked to make this dip. I can all but guarantee a clean serving bowl with this one! Red peppers, garlic and artichoke hearts are the star ingredients in this dip, and its rich, creamy texture makes this a party favorite.

Presentation and taste make this dip hard to resist. Black olives and sun-dried tomatoes are blended together to make simple perfection. Transfer to a bowl and serve on endive leaves or your favorite artisan bread (bread not included).
