<a href="http://gourmetfood.about.com/od/breakfastrecipe1/r/granola.htm"><IMG SRC="http://z.about.com/d/gourmetfood/1/0/e/M/granola170x128.jpg" hspace="5" align="right" width="170" height="128" border="0"></a> Homemade granola is so much better than the variety in the store, and so easy to make! Granola makes a great snack (even kids like it) or breakfast cereal. Plus it tends to be on the healthy side with oats and nuts and naturally sweetened with dried fruit, honey and maple syrup. Good stuff to keep on hand in the pantry. <p> Check out the recipe for <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://gourmetfood.about.com/od/breakfastrecipe1/r/granola.htm">Homemade Granola</a>.

Good ribs take a long time to cook at low heat to get that tender, pull off the bone experience but it's worth the wait. <p> Slaughterhouse Five refers to Joe's award-winning BBQ team. I'm not certain if he named it after the book by Kurt Vonnegut. I'll have to ask. <p> Go to the recipe for <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://gourmetfood.about.com/od/fishandseafood/r/fiveribsbbq.htm">Slaughterhouse Five BBQ Ribs</a>.

Green Bean, Tomato, and Potato Salad with Almond and Basil Pesto
Fresh pesto is a wonderful addition to potatoes. This refreshing dish is full of flavors. This recipe calls for making pesto the classic way - smashing the ingredients together with a mortar and pestle. It won't be as fun, but you can use a food processor if you have to. Also, almonds are substituted for the traditional but sometimes hard to find pine nuts. <p> Go to the recipe for <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://gourmetfood.about.com/od/gourmetsalads/r/pestopotatosalad.htm">Green Bean, Tomato, and Potato Salad with Almond and Basil Pesto</a>.
