Friday Feast ~ Broccoli Salad
It’s almost summer, and this tangy, cool salad is one my daughter shared with me several years ago. I wasn’t a big fan of raw broccoli, but when I took my first bite, I fell in love.

Friday Feast ~ Warm Artichoke Dip
These have become one of my favorite, and I always have at least one jar in the pantry. I’m a huge fan of artichokes, but these grilled, bite-sized hearts are packed in olive oil and herbs. You can toss them salads, pasta, or eat them straight from the jar.
I started making this dip during football season, and now it’s a year round appetizer.

1 12oz. jar of marinated artichoke hearts
1/3 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons green salsa
1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce (I use...

Always under the domineering heel of his uncle, Cam has allowed himself to become a pawn. But the arrival of a mysterious newcomer awakens a beast within him that will not be tamed....
