Erik's Roasted Vegetables
My brother made this one up and it is a really good way to make a bunch of veggies. I was put in charge of a friend’s bachelor party (they knew a gay boy could pull it off the best). I made these veggies along with a nice big prime rib. It was quite the hit!! Cut the recipe in half if you don’t need to serve 14 – 16 people. Or, make a whole batch and divide up into freezing bags before roasting for an easy side of veggies whenever you need ‘em. My brother always mixed everything up in a trash bag. It works really well but if you feel a little weird about it, use a large roasting pan or other container.

Garlic Bread Spread
This is a basic recipe for garlic bread spread. The key, as the directions say, is to turn the oven off and let the bread sit in the oven for about 5 - 10 minutes before serving. This allows the garlic to become tender and mellow a bit. Mmmmmm . . . .put it in your mouth.

Perfectly Baked Microwave Potatoes
This is a quick way to get that baked potato taste and texture with out having to wait an hour + for an oven baked. How does 20 minutes sound?? Directions are for russets. Modify for other potatoes, including yams!! Just adjust cooking time according to size. The basic concept is the same. . .

Potato Leek Au'Gratin
This potatoes au gratin recipe is just plain awesome. Never a complaint when this is on the menu! Ms. Cherese, a good friend of mine, turned me onto this one and it is always a showstopper!! And the best part, as always, is that you can make it a day ahead of time and just pop it in the oven. Love it.

Rainbow Poppy Seed Salad
One summer day I was asked to bring a salad to a pot luck. I couldn’t find anything that sounded good so I made this one up – Rainbow Poppy Seed Salad. It is a pasta salad dressed with a poppy seed dressing. It is very fresh tasting and colorful. It is always a hit and is perfect for those summer potlucks. And, it has “rainbow” in the title. So, there!
