Mincemeat pie/4 recipes

Asparagus and bacon are a match made in heaven. Baked into a quiche it's prefect for a Sunday brunch. Quite easy to prepare if you use a ready made pie shell.

Well, here's another recipe from my FB page. My thanks to Danielle at hugsandcookiesxoxo.com who adapted it from the "Barefoot Contessa" herself, Ina Garten. (BTW, the accompanying image is also from hugsandcookiesxoxo.com.)

Grilled or broiled asparagus are tender, crispy and full of flavor, drizzling some freshly homemade dressing, along with some these meaty and succulent grilled mushrooms, another excellent side-dish with barbecued meats. Simply delicious!

An easy rendition of a weekday ready pork chop dinner covered in a tangy cranberry and onion sauce.

The eggplant was seasoned with curry and chili powder, after roasting in the oven, it was full of flavor. I had lots of tomatoes, so I made a fresh salsa, also added some homemade chili sauce. The result was outstanding! Slightly spicy, mango added some fresh sweetness. Definitely a keeper!

Ran out of plums and had leftover so developed this recipe to use strawberries instead of plums that the original called for.

Try this scrumptious light snack that you will enjoy down to the last bite.

Western-style stir-fry, that uses Sweet butternut squash balanced with a chili sauce. Quick, easy and tasty.

Spread with a thin layer of tomato sauce or pizza sauce, topped with broccoli florets, olives, mushrooms and a few other veggies. Feel free to add cheddar cheese on top of the sauce before you add the toppings. The cheese-free version tastes delicious as well, without cheese we call it a flatbread.
