This bean salad is a great healthy side dish that screams summer. There is a nice zing from the red wine vinegar, the crunch of the celery and then fresh basil. Though it is great with anything grilled, the gentleman who created it likes to serve it as a bed for grilled tuna. Enjoy! 1 …

Today it is cold and raining outside; a perfect day for comforting mac and cheese. Add ham and peas and you have a one dish meal. Using Swiss and mozzarella instead of cheddar gives you a different dish than your everyday mac and cheese also. If you’re going to a pot luck dinner or making …
