Herbs And Spices - Cinnamon Bun Icing

Seafood - Lobster Rolls

I grew up in Nova Scotia where seafood was cheap. My Mom and grandmothers had some pretty inventive ways of making lobster 'not-boring!' Now, lobster is a treat and costs a fortune. I've paid over ten dollars for one of these lobster rolls in Cape Cod and it wasn't half as good or half as big as the ones my Mom taught me to make. This is a wonderful summer (or winter) treat and makes a fancy luncheon to impress your friends.

Bbq Grilling - Sweet Grilled Corn

A perfect summertime side dish of fresh sweet corn grilled in a savory herb mixture.

Cheese - Killer Cheesecake

This is a basic cheesecake that you can spruce up with sugared strawberries or blueberries on top, but it is fantastic just plain.

Appetizers And Snacks - Tomato Corn And Avocado Salsa

This salsa is quick and easy to make. It's colorful and most important, it's delicious! Whenever I take it to a party, I bring the recipe along because I'm always asked for it. Serve with tortilla chips; colored ones are fun!
