Take advantage of your local farmer's market to pick the freshest vegetables for salads such as this one. While you are there, look for fresh basil, too.

This authentic Mexican recipe I picked up while living in Mexico. It has a spicy, smoky flavor from chipotle peppers. It is perfect for a buffet where people can serve themselves and even better heated up as leftovers the next day! If this is too spicy for you, try using less chipotle peppers.
A sweet, savory saute of bell pepper, green onion and bean sprouts is tossed with strips of cooked chicken and angel hair pasta, and coated with an exotic blend of peanut butter, soy sauce, chicken broth and fresh ginger.
This tasty side dish is always a big hit when my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter come for dinner or when I'm hosting a shower or party. At Easter, it's a great way to use up hard-cooked eggs! --Carolyn Griffin Macon, Georgia
