Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing
Years ago, I made this Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing recipe for my husband who loved it. Over the years, he has asked me to make it again, but I couldn't remember where I got the recipe. Well, I found it! It’s in Gourmet LA: A Collection of Fresh and Elegant Recipes (1989). The Junior League cookbooks are generally excellent.

Baked Chicken Wings 2 Ways
Chicken Wings 2 Ways is a great appetizer for any party. Traditional chicken wings are pretty spicy. I added a non-spicy version. You can divide the recipe in half and make both to satisfy everyone. The key to crispy chicken wings is boiling them first. These seem counter-intuitive, but it works. Make sure you pat them dry before roasting. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
