What better way to begin a summer barbeque than a platter of chilled, delicious deviled eggs? Having a variety of tastes is a great way to please everyone without having to spend the whole day in the kitchen making a multitude of different dishes.
Recipe: Umm Ali
This is as close as you can get to “comfort food” for dessert. It’s soothing and delicious and smells great coming out of the oven. I first tried it in Kuwait when we were there in January and I couldn’t get enough of it!

Recipe: Coconut Shrimp
I love foods that combine sweet flavours with savory dishes – I guess that is why I absolutely adore coconut shrimp. This is a simple recipe that you can prepare in advance and then deep fry when you are ready to eat the shrimp. Serve with a spicy asian sauce or a curry sauce on the side.

Recipe: Miniature Vanilla Scones
These scones are sweet but not cloyingly. They are dainty without being too “cutesy”. Perfect for a shower, served with coffee or tea, they are light, delicious and very easy to make.

Recipe: S’mores
These are the perfect dessert on a summer evening after having steak and corn on the barbeque. These are easy to make and don’t involve setting your siblings’ hair on fire with flaming marshmallows hanging off the end of a stick… although that is really a right of passage.

Ultimate Brownies
This recipe is simple but perfect. If you are craving chocolate (or just need a pick-me-up), whip these up and eat them right from the pan. Or cut them up and share them with someone you love…if you can keep yourself from eating the entire pan yourself!

Recipe: Chicken Wings
These wings should really be called “left” or “right” wings because they go perfectly with a good hockey game. Gather friends, beer and wings in one spot and allow to mingle – I promise the outcome will be delicious.

Recipe: Apple Coffee Cake
This cake is sweet but not cloyingly so. It’s great as a dessert, as a decadent breakfast or as an afternoon snack when your blood sugar is a little low.

Recipe: Tomato, Onion and Goat Cheese Tart
This could also be made as one large nine-inch tart, but I like it better in single serving size.

Recipe: Creamy Chick Pea Chili
This is a slightly sweet chili that fills you up without completely weighing you down. A lime margarita or just lime juice with mint would go nicely with it to break through the heat.
