Wine and Chocolate Lava Cakes

If you would rather not have a lava center and just want a moist chocolate cake, add 2 minutes to the baking time. For the wine, you can buy a traditional 750ml bottle and drink the 90 percent of it you don’t use to bake. Or, you can purchase a smaller bottle or box just for cooking. We like the mini Bota Box wines.

Asian-Style Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is a big hit every time I make it. It’s great as an appetizer or as lunch, but can also be a light warm-weather entrée. Studies show that if you beef up dishes such as this one with plenty of bulky vegetables like broccoli, you’ll be satisfied with less calorie intake, which could help with weight loss and, subsequently, blood pressure reduction.

Pumpkin Pie Dip

Create a creamy dip with seasonal taste in this kid-approved treat. Keep things light by enjoying it with sliced apples, pears or salty whole-grain pretzels. Serve the dip as an appetizer or dessert.

Barbecue Crunch Burger

Enjoy juicy seasoned beef patties, melted cheddar, and tangy barbecue sauce on a soft bun, topped with lettuce, tomato, and crunchy pork rinds.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Enjoy savory bacon-wrapped shrimp marinated in lime and jalapeño, seasoned with barbecue rub for a smoky, zesty treat that delights your taste buds!
