Cheese - Brie Cheese Appetizer

Chunky preserves are sandwiched between a halved wheel of Brie and a ready-made puff-pastry crust. Fresh from the oven, they become a creamy blend of sweet and savory.

Salad - Juicy Fruit Salad

Pineapple, apple, orange, banana and grapes unite in this juicy and delicious fruit salad!

Meat And Poultry - Easy Slow Cooker French Dip

An economical version of an old-favorite sandwich. It is made of rump roast simmered for 7 hours with beef broth, onion soup and beer. The reduced cooking liquid makes plenty of sauce for dipping.

Cheese - Sausage Jalapeno Poppers

Jalapeno pepper slices are stuffed with a sausage and cream cheese mixture, then wrapped with bacon. They're a spicy, mouthwatering party favorite! Secure the bacon with toothpicks.

Herbs And Spices - Sunflower Soy Butter

Soy nuts and sunflower seeds are ground together to make this peanut-free butter which is sweetened with cranberries for a great spread on cut celery, whole grain breads, and fruit. It also pairs well with soft cheese (don't add more salt though). Feel free to try other dried fruits as well, such as blueberries, cherries, or apples.

Cheese - Double Tomato Bruschetta

A delicious and easy appetizer. The balsamic vinegar gives it a little bite. Dried basil can be substituted but it is best with fresh.
