Garlic-Ginger Chicken Wings

Rating: 4.5 stars 323
My mom lives in a small town in western New York, called Clifton Springs. Whenever I go home to visit, I usually indulge in some Buffalo chicken wings from a place called Emerson's. They have two flavors of wings; Buffalo-style, and sweet and sour. I came up with what turned out to be a deliciously sticky, ginger and garlic glaze. I really hope you give these a try.

Prosciutto Wrapped Melon Balls

This is a great snack to make for any gathering. Balls of honeydew melon are wrapped in prosciutto and fresh mint to make a fancy appetizer with few ingredients.

Health Dynamics Rye Bread

Rating: 4.5 stars 12
This bread was suggested at a class I gave on making breads using whole grains. A woman in the class wanted to make some bread for her husband who was allergic to wheat. She called me the next day to report it was very good. I was so happy for them, because her husband hadn't eaten bread in such a long time, and was so thankful.

A bold shrimp dish in a thick, savory sauce that's great with hot rice.

Eggplant Pizzas

Rating: 4.5 stars 112
Eggplant makes a wonderful alternative to your ordinary pizza crust. I have tons of eggplant from my garden so I make these about once a week! Fun way to get your kids to eat their veggies. I suggest adding pepperoni, mushroom, and peppers.

Hummus Layer Dip

Rating: 5 stars 40
A nice switch from the Mexican layer dip. Super easy and very versatile! You can switch this recipe up in many ways to adapt it to your taste, this is just how we like it best. Add more or less of anything you like personally. Roasted red pepper on top is also good. Serve with pita chips.

Indian-Spiced Roasted Chickpeas

Rating: 4 stars 73
