24 Hour Salad
There are many versions of this 24 Hour Salad. It's perfect to bring to a potluck. Up to 24 hours before you plan to serve the salad, layer a large bowl in the exact order given. I have learned 2 tricks from Martha Stewart over the years, one is how to hard boil an egg perfectly (bring eggs to a boil, boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and cover for exactly 13 minutes), the second thing is you pour the dressing in the bottom of a salad bowl, put the salad ingredients on top and toss right before serving. This is also a great way to bring a salad to a potluck.

Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
I made these Parmesan Crusted Potatoes for dinner. I actually put them in the oven for about 25 minutes before dinner, then I put them back in right before serving. They are really good and easy to make.

Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich
I had this wonderful Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich at The Little Flower Candy Company in Pasadena, CA. I don't think of using lemon with mushrooms, but it really works to add a brightness to the dish.
This is what is says on the menu:
garlic mushrooms and brie toasted and served open faced on baguette with fresh thyme and lemon zest

Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé
I have literally made this Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé hundreds of times, especially when we were first married. It’s cheap and cheerful, as the Brits would say. I love making things that don’t cost much, but have an air of elegance.

Cheesy Chutney Dip
Cheesy Chutney Dip makes a great appetizer. While living in England, one of my favorite sandwiches for lunch was simply cheese and chutney, which you could buy in almost every market. Boots Dispensing Chemist made a particularly good one, as well as Marks & Spencer and good old British Rail. I wish chutney was more popular / mainstream in the United States. Another one of my favorite things I make for lunch is cheese and chutney quesadillas. Two cultures colliding! A true fusion of favors or should I say flavours? Anyway, here is a wonderful dip recipe.

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower features prominently on my blog. I looked through my archives and realized I have a thing for cauliflower! I especially like roasting vegetables, probably due to the fact that I grew up in the midwest in the '60s when all vegetables were boiled to a flavorless mush.
