A twist on classic macaroni salad - I toss the pasta with a creamy sauce made from sauteed green onions, then add lots of black pepper, arugula, diced apple, and lemon juice to the bowl.
A banana cream pie with a twist: an almond crust, with a thin layer of dark chocolate, a single layer of fresh sliced bananas, and a sweetened condensed milk custard. This is a nearly no-bake pie. The only time you have to turn on the oven is to bake the crust for 12 to 14 minutes.
