4 Bean Relish

I saw Guy Fieri make this on TV and had to try it.  It is not your regular bean salad.  It has a couple of secret ingredients!  Now I know you think those little red specks are just plain old red peppers, but I have a surprise for you!  Those red specks are my new favorite ingredient ........ Peppadews! 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

These are can be hot or mild.  I like the hot Peppadews!  They are sweet and hot at the same time.  These add the final twist to a very delicious side dish!

Guacamole

This is my recipe!!  I made it once for a party at my sister Karen's house and my brother Brian ate half the bowl.  He came in the house and asked me what that green stuff was.  When I told him it was guacamole

he replied, "No, it can't be.  I don't like guacamole!"  Well, he likes my guacamole and I hope you do to.  It has a secret ingredient!!

Denise Rickard's French Toast

This can be made the night before or the morning of!  I got this one from my sister-in-law Denise Rickard years ago.  I put the leftovers in the fridge and the boys all thought it was leftover garlic bread.  When I finally asked why they weren't eating the leftover french toast, they took it out of the fridge and WOLFED it down!  Therefore you can summize that it also tastes good warmed up!

Swiss Potato Casserole

This is a step away from the other potato dish everyone makes called "Party Potatoes"! This dish is made with swiss cheese. I love how it browns up on the top. I made this for Father's day as well. It was very easy to put together.

When you serve it up, you can see all that cheesy gooeyness just oozing out!!!

I think this is going to be a family favorite. 

Spinach Squares

I served these as an appetizer for Father's Day.  It was a very simle recipe and while it was baking I prepared the other items I needed for the rest of the dinner.  These can be cooked ahead and reheated, but I was busy golfing with Tom, Trevor and Tim Linton on Father's day.  No time for preparing ahead that day!  Thanks for the recipe Chris Roach!

Oatmeal Pancakes

I decided to start off Father's Day with something on the healthier side.  Thanks to Chris Roach, I was able to do this.  These may not look like much now..........

but just add some syrup and a little fruit and these Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes take on a whole new desire.  Maybe just a couple of blueberries isn't doing it for you......

Well then add some plums and cherries too!!  Or maybe......

a whole bowl of blueberries!!  What ever you do, I think you will really like these pancakes.  They are a nice change from the ordinary pancake! (Thanks for helping out TJ!)

Scallops in Lemon Butter Sauce

I have no idea where this recipe came from.  I had it in my recipe file, so therefore I am putting it under my name in the book!  If you are a scallop lover, then this recipe is for you.  The lemon flavor is just right mixed in with the spinach, rice, scallops and seasonings.  You will not believe how easy this is.  Don't you just want to take a bite right now?
