Herbs And Spices - Crab Ceviche

This has always been a crowd pleaser in my home. This is wonderful as an appetizer served on tostadas or even with tortilla chips. Make sure to refrigerate before you serve, it tastes best when very cold. I like to serve on tostadas with a thin layer of mayonnaise for a nice refreshing lunch.

Pasta - Slow Cooker Lasagna

Start with a skillet and finish with a slow cooker. A saute of onion, garlic and ground beef is simmered with tomato and oregano, then layered in a slow cooker with raw lasagna noodles and a creamy blend of cottage cheese, Parmesan and mozzarella.

Breakfast And Brunch - A Surprise Inside French Toast

Thick slices of French toast hide a delightful mixture of sweetened and whipped cottage, ricotta and cream cheeses that are flavored with extracts to your preference. Use challah or French bread for best results.

Pasta - Mexican Lasagna

Lasagna noodles are baked with an earthy blend of beef, refried beans, oregano, cumin and garlic, with salsa spooned over. Topped with sour cream, green onions, olives and Pepper Jack cheese, the casserole gets one more brief baking to melt the cheese.
