For every banana split recipe submitted by a Featured Publisher, Foodbuzz will donate $50 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (up to $5,000). What a great excuse to make a banana split! In my rendition of this classic sundae, a chocolate- and coconut-covered banana sandwiches three scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, Heath toffee chocolate sauce, shredded coconut, whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
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 homemade version of cocktail sauce is great for crab or shrimp cocktail. I love the kick from the horseradish but if you don’t like spice you can reduce the amount of horseradish or omit it altogether.
For an easy 4th of July breakfast, top the pancakes of your choice with strawberries, homemade whipped cream and blueberries for a red, white and blue treat.
These ribs are great for any BBQ or picnic. The key is to sear the meat on high for a couple of minutes to lock the juices inside, and then slow-cook them until done so that they remain tender.
Red, white and blue strawberries are a simple yet festive way to celebrate the 4th of July. Let the whole family help make them.
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.
My family loves fish tacos. This time we decided to make them a little differently, battering and baking the cod pieces à la Baked Chicken Nuggets with Creamy Bacon Dip. Preparing the fish this way makes the tacos more kid-friendly and they appeal to people who typically aren’t seafood lovers, too!
Enchiladas are a great way to get your family to eat seafood. Shrimp, scallops, crab and cod are all good options for the filling because they are firm and have mild flavors.
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!
