Chayote, Corn & Tomato Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

This was a perfect lite summer salad. The only change I made was that I ended up sautéing the chayote in a bit of butter for a quicker fix. Oh, and I also added some fresh snap peas from the garden. I'd never cooked or even tried chayote before... — joy of jess Jul 10, 2009

Chocolate Oreo Pate

Posted by DR. House  

I was curious if there was supposed to be instructions for an orange sauce that is mentioned in the directions but only alluded to in the ingredients. Sounds deliciously interesting and I am planning to try it sometime. Thanks! — joy of jess Jan 26, 2009

Pumpkin Puff

Posted by Jen T  

Everyone loved this and gobbled it right up. I added 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan in with the egg yolks and did the rest just as described. It took about 35 minutes of cooking 'til set but was light and airy right out of the oven. Yum! — joy of jess Nov 18, 2008

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Posted by Kareybear  

This was excellent, really good - really simiple - loved the feta. I also added a monterey jack cheese blend (we love cheese!) and left out the tomato as it didn't seem to fit for us. We used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. Thanks Kareybear! — joy of jess Jun 10, 2008
