Posted by cmacooks  

This is a wonderful first course; our son, who wouldn't eat an olive if he fell on it, devours these each time I serve them. I thought that I would have a little of the mix to take home when I took this to a dinner party recently; alas, the host... MORE»

Green Bean and Potato Salad

This recipe was given to me by my best friend, Karen, and I love to make it in the summer with the freshest green beans. The only adaptation I made (which is unusual for me) is the addition of the capers. I think they are a great addition. MORE»
