Kachumbari

This is a versatile, traditional African tomato-onion salad accented with spicy peppers. It's so very simple to make and also good as salsa, on crostini as an appetizer, or if there are leftovers, turn it into gazpacho by giving it a quick whirl in a blender or food processor.

Best Damn Chili

This is my best chili recipe. After years of adjusting recipes that were either too spicy or too mild, everyone loves this. Even my fiancée who hates chili.

Middle Eastern Kibbeh

Kibbeh is a wonderful dish from the Middle East traditionally made with lamb meat but beef is acceptable, too. I prefer it made into patties and fried in olive oil. However, it is most often found in restaurants in baked form. Serve kibbeh with tahini, a sesame seed paste.

Baked Chicken Reuben

This is a great make-ahead dish from Marcia C. Adams of Fort Wayne, Indiana. It took the top $10,000 prize in the National Chicken Cooking Contest in Dallas, Texas. It sounds weird, but it is good.

Juiciest Hamburgers Ever

No more dry, lackluster hamburgers. These are juicy, and spices can be easily added or changed to suit anyone's taste. If you find the meat mixture too mushy, just add more bread crumbs until it forms patties that hold their shape.

Peggy's Frosted Banana Bars

This banana cookie bar recipe was given to me years ago by a friend in Nebraska; they come out perfect every time!
