Orange-Walnut Salad

Layer the ingredients in a large salad bowl, then add the dressing and cheese just before serving.

Cantaloupe Soup

This is a picture-pretty first course for a summer meal. Make in advance and serve chilled.

Raspberry Mustard Dip

You can buy ready-made raspberry mustard, but you won't find the depth of flavor you get when you mix your own.

Mushroom Crab Appetizer

Deliciously decadent, but healthy! Garnish with chopped red pepper for extra color or a shot of Tabasco for spiciness.

Bronzed Mushrooms

Fabulous creamed mushrooms that can be served over toast, pasta, chicken, or beef.
