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.

This recipe comes from my Great Aunt Gladys, and my mom has been making it since before I was born. I love the fact that it is filled with fresh, uncooked strawberries. My aunt traditionally made it with an easy coconut pie crust but I like to use my Coconut Macaroon Tartlet Shells for a chewier (and butter-less) crust.

I made this African Peanut Stew to celebrate Africa Day yesterday. Variations of the stew can be found throughout West Africa. This version has edamame which offers a healthy dose of protein along with other nutrients but you can also add meat if you would like.

A Cuban Sandwich, also known as a Mixto Sandwich, is a variation of a ham and cheese sandwich. There are many versions of this pressed sandwich but traditionally, it consists of ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles.

This pound cake is moist and has a rich vanilla flavor. Serve it plain or topped with a powdered sugar glaze. It is also excellent with chocolate fondue or strawberry shortcake!

This is our take on a shrimp pizza that we had at one of our favorite pizzerias. The creaminess of the avocado is a perfect combo with the shrimp.

This salad is light, refreshing and easy to make. It’s also great the next day so you can make it in advance.

This sandwich is easy to make and it’s a great way to use leftover pizza ingredients. I love the fact that my family devours tomatoes (in the sauce) and spinach (in the homemade chicken sausage) without thinking twice.

This is a great sausage for pizzas and pasta. By finely chopping the spinach and cooking it in the sausage, my son (along with the rest of us) consumes healthy leafy greens without even noticing!

Light coconut milk is a great ingredient for disguising seafood and veggies.
