Our family absolutely loves Halloween! It’s the perfect time to have a little fun—and play with your food! (Although our kids would definitely say it’s really all about the candy.)

We love hosting friends before and after trick-or-treating, and there’s one dish my kids request every single year.

Just for the occasion, we “spookified” our Festive Deviled Eggs to look like creepy-cute eyeballs! This time, we swapped in our Hot Banana Pepper Mustard instead of the Champagne Mustard for an extra kick.

These savory lemon pepper bread knots are a fabulous easy cooking addition to any meal.  Add butter (or not) and you have a flavor party in your mouth!  These are "knot" your typical rolls. 

Ingredients
1 package (11 oz.) refrigerated bread dough

Sherried Tomato Recipe

Cook Time:  8-10 minutes

Difficulty:  Easy

Updated 9/2024.

How was your garden this Summer? Did you have a plethora of tomatoes? I was grateful for an abundance of juicy tomatoes this year! We made many yummy dishes with tomatoes, including Herbed Tomato Soup, Blooming Tomatoes With Chicken Salad, Tomato Basil Cups, Lemon Tomato Basil Cod, and our favorite, Caprese salad.

Sadly, as the leaves turn here in Pennsylvania, we bid farewell to the last of this season's tomatoes. This quick and easy, mouth-watering tomato recipe takes advantage of Summer's bounty. It features Cherchies® Lem 'n Dill Seasoning (or Cherchies® Basil Pizzazz Seasoning), Sherry, and feta cheese. It makes a fantastic side dish, snack, or tasty appetizer.

So, if you're looking for a new delicious recipe to use up your Summer tomatoes and add to your recipe cache, consider trying this Sherried Tomato Recipe! You won't be disappointed!

Ingredients (For each tomato half)

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) sherry 

• 1 ripe tomato sliced in half

• 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) pepper

• 1/8 teaspoon Cherchies® Lem 'n Dill Seasoning or Cherchies® Basil Pizzazz

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) mayonnaise

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) Feta cheese, crumbled

Preparation
Remove stem from the tomato and cut in half (Tip: slice a little off the bottom of the tomato, so it lays flat when cooking). Place cut-side up on a cookie sheet.  Pierce tomato with a fork and sprinkle with sherry and pepper.

Broil tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes.

In a small bowl combine Cherchies Lem 'n Dill Seasoning, (or Basil Pizzazz) mayonnaise, and feta cheese.  Spoon dill mixture over tomato halves.

Broil tomatoes an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly browned.  Serve hot.  Serves 1 (I doubled this recipe for the pictures).  

Now you know yet another way to use up your tomatoes from your garden.

Enjoy!

Pretty Vegetable Bean Salad Recipe

"Easy and Elegant"  is my mother-in-law's mantra and I have resolved to follow it with my own family and friends.   Who wants to be in the kitchen the entire time?  This easy recipe mainly focuses on pantry items and is about as simple as it gets.  It's the perfect salad for a potluck, game day tailgating, or a summer get together because it can be made ahead and can be served at room temperature.   You could also serve this dish as a dip with chips for an easy healthy appetizer.  

I like this recipe because it serves a crowd (12-14 people), but it also it uses our Pretty Peppers, which imparts a nice tang to this dish.  

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Cider Vinegar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon (tsp.) salt
• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp.) pepper
• 1 Tablespoon water
• 15 oz. can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz. can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz. can white shoe peg corn, drained and rinsed (could use fresh corn)
• 1/2 jar Cherchies® Pretty Peppers
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 cup of celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped

Preparation

Mix the Cider Vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Cool completely.

In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and then add the vinagrette.- refrigerate and serve with a slotted spoon (you may want to pour off some marinade before serving).  Serves 12-14.  Enjoy!
