Appetizers And Snacks - Veggie Pizza

Crescent-roll dough, baked in a log, becomes the perch for a ranch-dressing spread and fresh, crunchy vegetables.

Cheese - Heart Shaped Carpaccio

This carpaccio has it all: buttery beef tenderloin, fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano, arugula, and just the right mustard-lemon tang in the dressing. What could be more romantic than a meat-heart for your sweetheart?

Side Dish - Connoisseurs Casserole

White corn, green beans and Colby cheese are the stars of this flavorful casserole topped with a crunchy mixture of almonds and buttery round crackers. The recipe uses canned vegetables, but fresh may be substituted.

Breakfast And Brunch - Irish Soda Farls

Soda bread dough is flattened into a round circle, and divided into farls meaning 4 parts. It is then cooked on a dry griddle or pan. Traditionally this was the quickest way to make soda bread for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of craic (good fun). It's best eaten fresh with butter and jam but is also delicious fried as part of an Ulster breakfast.
