Meat And Poultry - Lamb Chops With Balsamic Reduction

This recipe for lamb chops is a favorite in my house. It is an easy and quick recipe for two people (we eat two chops each). Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. If you double the recipe, remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.

Breakfast And Brunch - Sugarless Fruit Nut Muffins

A really delicious sweet tasting muffin with no added sugar! Dates, raisins and prunes are used as sweetener.

Herbs And Spices - Alabama Pulled Pig

Best if cooking is started the day before serving. Boston butt is the easiest to make on a small scale. Use a shoulder or a whole shoulder (which is a shoulder plus the Boston butt) for larger crowds. The sauce skimmed off the top is very, very hot and can also be used to make terribly hot chicken wings.

Pasta - Lap Salad

An overnight salad using ramen noodles, cabbage, chicken, almonds, and green onions. This is GREAT -- one of my husband's favorites and it serves a ton of people. Try substituting cashews for almonds and a dash of sesame oil for sesame seeds.
