As you all know, I live with a Seahawk fan and yes, his team defeated my team for the opportunity to play in Sunday’s game. Only fitting that I bring a salmon related contribution to a Super Bowl party. Since deviled eggs are always a hit when I take them to tailgates or parties, I thought deviled eggs would […]

Rich and Chewy Cookie Squares
I am an advocate that a meal should not end with a giant slice of cake the size of your dessert plate. The best thing about these bars is they are easy to make and they make an 8 x 8 size pan. Just enough to make for entertaining. After a meal, most people delight […]
Cocktail Pizzas
