This cheesecake makes a dramatic presentation with its two layers of white and pumpkin. It's easy to make, too, by using a prepared graham cracker crust.
Fire up the grill and put together baseball-style hot dogs inspired by the classic Detroit Coney. Topped by onions, warmed chile sauce, and mustard, every meaty bite will take you out to the ballgame.
Sauteed onion, garlic and mushrooms are seasoned with oregano, basil, parsley and flavorful strips of ham. A sweet, rich mix of ready-made marinara sauce and heavy cream gives this dish its rose color. Serve over hot pasta and enjoy every luscious bite.
Thin, thin cucumbers are doused with sugar, water, vinegar, celery seed and onion, and chilled for an hour or so. Great as a salad or as open face sandwiches on pumpernickel bread.
I've been using this recipe for over 20 years, ever since I moved to South Carolina. It can be adjusted to serve any number. Allow 2 tablespoons of seasoning per quart of water. If you cannot find hot smoked sausage, use another smoked sausage such as kielbasa and add crushed hot red pepper to the pot.
