All the spices
These spices can be combined in amounts to make specific spice mixtures used in everyday cooking. A very well known spice mixture is the Garam Masala. The word garam means hot, not "hot" as in spicy chili hot, but due to the fact that the spices blended in the mixture are said to increase the body temperature.The spices

2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)
If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html
Appetizers
Marinate mixed olives (jar) with freshly grated peel and juice from 1 lemon in refrigerator at least 24 hours.
Ole! Chicken Tostadas
These are so easy to make and if you'd rather, you can use taco shells or flour tortillas. I think the avocado dressing really makes it stand out! Avocado Dressing: 3 Tbs vegetable oil 2 Tbs cider vinegar 2 tsp minced pickled jalapeno peppers 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped 1 tomato, chopped 2 Tbs vegetable oil 1 clove garlic, minced 2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked, boned, skinned and shredded (I cut them into cubes and saute in a little olive oil, or I grill them first in the Summertime).Crunchy Fish Fillets with Lemon Tartar Sauce
Crunchy Fish FIllets with Lemon Tartar Sauce The cracker and cornmeal coating makes these pieces of fish crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. And you won't believe how easy or how delicious heart healthy can be! Note: If you are on a sodium restricted diet, replace the cracker crumbs with crushed cornflake crumbs, and you'll lower the sodium intake by one-half.Wonderful Tuna Salad
