Today I want to share 3 recipes with you. The first one reminds me of my days in Montreal. It's a sweet treat for the Thanksgiving table but with my diabetes, I am not likely to make it. It just was a nice little memory.
and here is your link for the recipe:

The next thing that I wanted to share was a Curried Carrot and Cheddar Tea Sandwich. I thought that sounded so much more interesting than your basic cucumber finger sandwich...with big, bold flavors! This might actually make an appearance at my table, not sure if Larry would like it though. :-)
If you decided to give these a try, the recipe can be found here:

I seem to find a lot of interesting little recipes on this blog. I guess the moderator and I have a similar sort of taste in dishes.
It's past the outdoor eating stage up here but we'll probably have another month before we have to give up patio dining in California. I could make these!

The following recipe is the one that I can hardly wait to try...I love vegetarian chili! This is a little different than the version that I usually make but it might be interesting to check it out, just for a change of pace.
