DEVILED EGGS, PROSCIUTTO HAM, AVOCADO AND FRESH DILL - Deviled eggs are an American party-favorite usually found at brunch, dinner parties and more.  It is a luxurious, indulgent treat with endless variations.  And while I love the classic version, the one I've made for you today is not only pleasing to look at but it's packed with some mega flavor!  Thank you very much prosciutto ham!  And the addition of avocado is never ever a bad idea either.  Plus freshly chopped dill adds the perfect touch giving it a warm, deep aroma and decadent flair.  This version definitely tastes as good as it looks.  You're going to love it!  Lynda ♥

COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN - I've been making this version of coconut curry chicken for years.  It's one of those dishes that I can make at least once a week for the rest of my life.  It's really that good!  And it's also the kind of dish that improves significantly with age.  When freshly made, it's mouthwateringly delicious.  But if you let sit overnight, the blended flavors of curry, garlic and onion will be amplified to a whole other level.  So, if you like curry, then give this dish a try.  I promise it will not disappoint.  Enjoy!  Lynda ♥

BACON GUACAMOLE - Guacamole and chips are a classic party favorite, but how about kicking it up a notch with some crunchy bacon bits?  This delicious combination is so easy to make and you can even use it as a sandwich spread.   However, although this recipe serves two, I'll be the first to admit that I ate three quarters all by my happy self so consider doubling, even quadrupling if you're expecting company.  Don't expect leftovers however, just some well-deserved compliments.  ¡Buen Provecho! ♥ Lynda





Start with fresh ingredients.  That's the key to perfection.



An instant party favorite!  It will be your new go-to dish!
