Tart, savory green salad with pear, walnuts, and crumbled bleu cheese.  Dress to taste. You may decide not to use all the dressing.

If you don't use all the dressing it can be kept tightly sealed in the refridgerator for at least a week.  Bring to room temperaure to use.

The bright sweet flavor of sun ripened watermelon combined with an earthy, slightly salty feta cheese makes the perfect summer side salad.

The butter caramelizes the corn - making it even sweeter.  Yummmmm.

The warm honey brie with the salty pistachios and cranberry orange dressing is truly decadent.

This salsa is a great companion to pork dishes.

Whole sweet onions packaged in foil.  Plan on 1 onion for each person - everyone gets thier own onion package.  Experiment with types of bacon.  This recipes call for maple smoked bacon but would be great with peppered  or applewood smoked bacon.
