Hummus is a great source of protein and fiber so it makes a healthy and satisfying snack. I like to serve it with pita bread wedges and veggie sticks, or spread it on sandwiches and wraps.

Crab cocktail is a light and refreshing meal for a warm summer night. The crab can be shelled and the sauce can be made in advance so it makes a quick and easy appetizer or dinner, and is a perfect no-fuss meal for guests.

This can be a hearty meal in it of itself or served as a side dish. It’s a great way to feed your family veggies because the turkey chili is loaded with them. Plus, the potatoes are baked so this rendition of chili cheese fries offers a healthier alternative to the standard dish.

These wraps are quick to make and though they are light, they are very flavorful. They were the perfect picnic dish for our lunch at the park the other day!

These eggplant tomato stacks make a refreshing appetizer or side dish and are perfect for a summer meal. They are easy to make and if you are lucky enough to have garden-fresh eggplants and tomatoes, they taste even better.

My family has come to the conclusion that the best nachos we’ve ever had are from…home. In our opinion, these nachos are better than restaurant quality because each chip is loaded with toppings so that nobody complains about the pile of plain chips underneath the top layer of nachos. The key is to use homemade guacamole and salsa, and to marinate the chicken. But even if you’re short on time and choose to use store-bought versions of the ingredients, serving “sliders” is a great way to present your nachos.

Bacon is a great way to get your family to try scallops. Scallops generally have a mild flavor and firm texture so wrapped in crisp, salty bacon they will probably be appealing to people of all ages. These are a great appetizer or main dish.

With a bag of freshly-picked morel mushrooms, I decided to make a morel mushroom and bacon pizza. The subtle earthiness of the morels was a perfect match for the saltiness of the bacon.

My sister-in-law and her girls taught me how to make this healthy and kid-friendly snack. The rolls are easy to make and they’re a great way to disguise asparagus. And your kids can help you make the rolls.
