Hummus is a staple of North Africa and the Middle East. This is my own recipe that has less fat than others as I don’t use Tahini which is high in fat. Hummus can be enhanced and modified in many ways. We usually serve it with whole wheat pita bread triangles that have been brushed with Olive Oil and toasted in the oven. This is a quick, easy, healthy and delicious recipe.
Phillip Bread
Jared ate dinner at his friend Phillip’s (thus the name) house and was served this bread and we have been making it ever since. Phillip’s parents are from Italy and thus this is an authentic Italian recipe which his mom, Claudia, gave to us.
Porkies (Barbecued Pork Patties)
This is a Vietnamese recipe we found in an Oriental Barbecue book. It is a fun meal because it gathers everyone around the table where you assemble your own pork wraps.
Salmon Rub (South of the Border Spice Rub)
Jared got this one from his friend Denise McCarthy. It is wonderful not only on Salmon, but on chicken and other meats as well.
Mark’s Marinade
This was, maybe, the first recipe I ever concocted. It’s old. Flank steak is often on our Christmas Eve menu and this is the marinade we use for that. I also use it for Fajitas, and I believe it would be good for other cuts of beef, also.
