I was thinking of a south of the border theme. We have some of Green Mountain’s South of the Border Seasoning Blend; I love…
Lemon Tarragon Shrimp and Scallops is just like Spring: light and bright. Patti used fresh lemon juice and plain Greek yogurt to give it a creamy sour cream-like flavor. It had a crunchy topping from crushed cheese crackers. Patti likes them because the crackers come in so many flavors. And with warmer weather just around the corner these only took about 10 minutes on…

St. Paddy’s Irish Nachos, we love nachos for appetizers, snacks and sometimes for dinner. Our friend Peggy Fairweather came up with the idea of combining nacho toppings over potatoes.

Perfect! We used our Date Night…

Bacony Sauteed Cabbage, Patti made this as a side for our corned beef, but Ken loves it with anything and he’s not a cabbage sort of guy.
