I used the leftovers to make a soup which i love even more than the original dish! http://www.grouprecipes.com/88528/garlic-sage-minestrone.html I had this for lunch at Hell's Kitchen cafe in Manhattan. Next day I made it from things my aunt and uncle had on hand in the kitchen and it made a perfect side for the 4th of July. Good for a main dish salad for lunch or a side for dinner. Fresh and unexpected! http://www.grouprecipes.com/61234/watermelon-feta-and-mint-salad.html This chocolate fondue goes with the easy cheese fondue I posted. Great for having a couple of friends over for dinner, or a fun finish to a family meal. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37966/chocolate-fondue.html This is a basic romaine salad, I'm adding it because it goes with the cheese fondue recipe. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37965/romaine-salad.html This recipe was passed along with a fondue pot we got as a wedding present. Its an americanized version so its easy but i find it better than the premixed fondue cheese blends you can buy. Serve with loads of salad and finish with a chocolate fondue for a great dinner with friends.

This is an easy alternative to bottled sauces to make a delicious and low-fat veggie (or meat) stir fry. Its a regular on our menu. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37960/easy-stir-fry.html This is a sophisticated clam chowder my dad traditionally makes on Christmas Eve. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37957/outer-banks-clam-chowder.html This is my great-aunt Glennis' cranberry bread recipe, my mom has made this for Christmas morning as long as i can remember. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37955/cranberry-nut-bread.html Easy pumpkin soup that works as a main course with some crackers or hearty bread or as a great holiday side dish. Perfect for lunch on a chilly day. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37953/pumpkin-soup.html I had one of these from Magnolia Bakery in NYC the other day... let's just say it was almost a religious experience, and so I went looking for the recipe. These are absolutely delicious cupcakes -- not your grocery store birthday party fodder. I found the recipe at www.superjux.com. http://www.grouprecipes.com/37947/magnolia-bakery-red-velvet-cupcakes.html
