Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad

This recipe starts with fresh berries, and lots of them. I use equal parts of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.You don’t have to use all four types of berries, it’s fine to mix and match with whatever you have on hand. Sometimes I add pitted and halved fresh cherries too for a special treat. This recipe will not work with frozen fruit!

Quinoa with Corn and Scallions

Quinoa with Corn and Scallions

Emily found this recipe on Pinterest in March of 2012. The first time we served it was at our neighbor’s party on St. Patrick’s weekend. Neighbor Jami liked it so much she wouldn’t stop bugging me for it until I gave her the recipe. Now she’s coming here to get it. Hi Jami! = )

Fresh & Light Green Bean Casserole

When I created McClellandfamily.com/recipes, I thought the ONE person who would really love it-really get a lot of use our of it-was my mom, Karen.  This is the one recipe that she ever uploaded here (on June 9, 2008.) I’d add a picture, but I have no idea what this recipe is supposed to look like. I guess I’ll have to make it and find out.

Cold ‘n Spicy Mexican Tostadas

mexican tostadaThis is an easy, no-cook, throw-together appetizer that works great if you have leftover chicken. Great for making ahead of time because it gets slightly better with age. Try using it as a cracker spread, too. You can make it spicy or mellow, depending on your audience. This was first served in the McClelland Household Christmas eve, 1997.

Serve it in a bowl at a party and let your guests spoon their own onto tostada shells or as a bit fancier hors d’oeuvre, use tortilla rounds and serve them on a platter. You could also serve a tostada as a side dish with avocados, grated cheese and sour creme on top.
