A deliciously messy mean green pesto and avocado sandwich recipe
I had previously made a lighter version of pesto inspired by spinach and artichoke dip and I had to find a vehicle to drive it into my mouth. This was a a job for a bunch of green stuff for a big ol’ vegetarian sandwich in the making.
Impress your friends with easy, gorgeous bruschetta
This is my roommate Joel’s easy brrrrruuuuskyettta (you have to over-pronounce it like Giada De Laurentiis) recipe. It’s impressive as hell — the colours are eye-popping! And the taste? Get outta here. It makes a fantastic appetizer or potluck contribution, but fair warning: this is morish, and could be all you need for a full meal.
Bloody beach hummus and shark fins
It’s time to celebrate another Shark Attackiversary! This year, along with throwing a party, we’re making this bloody, shark-themed snack, from the mind that brought you the pumpkin cake recipe.
If you can’t stand the heat, make these no-bake low-sugar mini cheesecakes
I, like our own Megan, don’t have mad cooking skills. Plus, I have a bunch of annoying dietary restrictions, making it even more challenging when I want to whip up something non-frozen.

Cooking Challenge Day 4 recipes: Egg in a hole, banana in a sandwich, and lasagne
Today’s the day to have foods served inside other foods! Eggs inside toast, bananas inside buns, and cheese and spinach inside layers of noodles! Forgive me for the lunch “recipe” — Thursdays are busy days and I’m on the go all day long, so I needed a quick lunch that would be easy to take with me. Plus, I’ve always wanted to try Ariel’s Pee-Wee Herman-approved banana dog. (“Viral banana dog” is a great band name, btw.)
Remember our April patron Jackie? She shared with me her easy go-to lasagne recipe for din-din.
