Gourmet Food on a Budget
I love this Red Pepper Stuffed with Crab Salad and Guacamole. Okay, so some of you who have been here before know that I am Roman Catholic. Some of you may think that Catholics don’t have to eat fish on Fridays, and you would be correct, they don’t.
Spinach Grapefruit Salad with Bacon Dressing and Candied Pecans, an interesting way to have the famous Spinach Salad. The grapefruit, blue cheese, and candied pecans make a party in your mouth!

Rosy peaches with ice cream are grilled peaches with rose preserves and peach ice cream. Fresh peaches, ice cream, roses, and Marsala – what dessert could be more elegant?
My friends, Amber and Stevie invited me over for barbecue this evening. I love it when Stevie barbecues – he has a great big drum barbecue and he has my Weber until I drag it home some day. He said “I have a lot of meat, do you girls want to make potato salad?” and …
