Shredded green plantains are shaped into patties, then fried until crisp. Serve these "little spiders" as a snack or side dish.

Cheese - Quick And Easy Mexican Chicken

Seasoned chicken bakes under a crown of salsa and cheese. Served over rice, dinner is ready in a snap!

Salad - Chinese Napa Cabbage Salad

A sweet and sour dressing is the perfect thing for this very Asian cabbage salad. It mates perfectly with the crunchy ramen noodles, almonds and sesame seeds. Makes six servings.

Bbq Grilling - Grilled Chicken Quesadillas

This recipe is a delicious snap. The meat is coated with adobo seasoning, grilled, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Then a tortilla is layered with cheese, chile peppers, chicken, and olives.

Desserts - White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are absolutely the best!! They really should be named disappearing cookies because they won't stay around long. Set your timer, these cookies are best when they are lightly browned.

Seafood - Avocado Shrimp Ceviche Estillo Sarita

Shrimp is marinated in lime juice to cook, then mixed with tomato, cilantro, onion and a special sauce. You can save a couple of whole shrimps to dangle on the edge of the tumbler for a special presentation. The lime and the cilantro are the key, and of course fresh shrimp.

Side Dish - Old World Escarole And Beans

After searching high and low for a soupy escarole and beans recipe, I finally created my own version. It tastes just like the appetizer I order at one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York.

Breakfast And Brunch - Danish Cinnamon Snails

The cardamom-spiced dough makes these Danish cinnamon rolls stand apart from the sweet roll crowd! Frost with a confectioners' sugar glaze, if desired.

Bbq Grilling - Barbequed Cabbage

These cabbage stuffed foil packets are cooked on the grill in this recipe, but can easily be cooked in the gently coals of a campfire. This is a delicious way to use up some cabbage and turn someone into a cabbage lover at the same time!
