Soup might not be the first  idea that comes to mind when planning dinner for your family but when it’s as delicious, thick, and easy to make as the Pepperoni soup recipe I found recently, it should be!

In fact, this Pepperoni Soup recipe makes soup that actually eats more like a stew so even your hungriest man will be happy and satisfied.

In addition to the easy to follow soup recipe, the Pepperoni soup page contains fun soup trivia, interesting soup videos, and recipes for making both fresh garlic bread and home made pepperoni.  You’ll even have a chance to share your own personal thoughts about Pepperoni soup.

This REAL ice cream recipe only calls for three basic ingredients; cream, sugar and vanilla. (You’ll also need a dash of salt but who’s counting?)

The Real Ice Cream Recipe that I found for you prepares a cool and creamy vanilla ice cream recipe but also offers information on how you can change the flavor by adding your favorite fruits such as strawberries or peaches (or maybe even strawberries and peaches??? Yum!) to create your own unique taste tempting treats.

You’ll  learn why the “chef” calls this “real” ice cream and find great advice for successfully storing homemade ice cream in your freezer.

And keeping with the fun spirit of the interactive recipes you’ll always find at Squidoo.com you’ll also be able to express yourself by taking a couple of ice cream making polls or  by leaving an ice cream recipe comment in the guestbook.

Not the ready-made Hawaiian punch that we are all familiar with, this recipe allows you to create a delicious, nutritious beverage that is far superior to the store brand!

Visit The Best-Ever Hawaiian Punch Recipe where you will find a fantastic recipe and some fun Hawaiian punch humor including a nostalgic 1980s video featuring Donny and Marie Osmond ‘going Hawaiian.’ The punch Donny and Marie are promoting features only 10 percent real fruit juice while the Hawaiian punch recipe by this “chef” is almost 75 percent real fruit juice.

You will love the refreshing recipe, a simple blend of five ingredients, so easy to prepare it will have you sitting by the pool sipping this icy cold beverage in no time at all.

Summertime is potato salad time!   Have you ever tried a Hawaiian potato salad?

 This type of potato salad includes traditional ingredients like potatoes, eggs and onion plus it adds some less traditional ones like pasta, pickles and carrots.  

There are many versions of potato salad available and choosing one is, of course, a matter of personal taste. Hawaiian potato salad is a mayonnaise-based salad.  It pairs very nicely with many summery foods including hamburgers and barbecued chicken, ribs and steak.

Visit  The Best-Ever Hawaiian Potato Salad  where you will find the enticing recipe, links to many more potato salad options plus plenty of photographs and tips for making your potato salad.  There is even an intriguing new bowl called the ‘Cold Bowl On Ice’ which is perfect for serving salad and keeping it chilled while it is on the patio table.

Quick Link to the Recipe:  The Best-Ever Hawaiian Potato Salad

Highly Recommended:
COLD BOWL ON ICE   keeps potato salad, fruit, vegetables and seafood chilled at the perfect temperature for serving over extended time periods. Fill base with ice and the cold travels upward through the bowl into the food and is sealed in with a lid. Use without ice for food and snack that don’t need to be chilled. Includes serving spoons that hook onto bowl’s rim. Break-resistant and dishwasher safe. 6 1/2 qt. Acrylic, 11 x 9″.
