Cheddar Cheese Crackers with Pimento
OK… I buy crackers….but, I saw this recipe from bon appetit…& just had to try them. There is a huge problem though…they are soooo delicious that it is hard not to eat all of them at one time! They were surprisingly easy to make. The dough has to chill for at least 4 hours or…

Smoked Salmon Spread
Well, this was delicious! Smoked salmon, cream cheese, mayo, horseradish, capers and parsley to garnish. It was all I could do but not eat the whole bowl at one time. Seriously!! In November I was in Toronto and had a smoked salmon sandwich on a bagel at the restaurant Schmaltz Appetizing, 414 Dupont St., and they had horseradish…
Brussels Sprout & Kale Slaw
Brussels Sprouts are not my favourite vegetable by any means. Sometimes if they are roasted & seasoned with maple syrup….haha….I can eat them! But I do like them raw in this salad.

The recipe is pretty simple. Once the cookie dough is made it is rolled into logs & cooled in the fridge for a bit.…
