Quick Cannoli Dip
Slow-Cooker Crab Rangoon Dip
"This slow-cooker recipe transforms your favorite classic appetizer into a warm, communal dip that’s perfect for any gathering. Simply combine the ingredients and let the slow cooker do the rest. The rich, irresistible dip is great for scooping with crispy wonton chips, crackers or your favorite veggies." Comment from The Food Network Kitchen
Slow cooker meals used for parties are good since you can keep the item warm in the cooker as the serving bowl. Love crab rangoon, so this dip should be awesome.

The Best Coconut Layer Cake
"Can something be impossibly light while also being incredibly rich and decadent? Apparently so. This coconut cake is majestic in its height and a beauty — a flurry of tangy frosting, sweet shredded coconut and tender cake. It will truly put all other coconut cakes to shame. The bar has now been set." Comment from Food Network Kitchen
It has been a long time since I've made a coconut cake and it is one of my favorites. Love that this one is all made from scratch and cream cheese frosting is always a good thing.

Cashew Chicken
"Cashew chicken is one of those menu items that you’ll find at most Chinese or Asian restaurants, but you don’t always have to enjoy it as take-out. It’s easy and quick to make yourself at home. There are no traps or pitfalls between you and a restaurant-quality dish." Comment from Taste of Home
What a treat it is to prepare a favorite meal from one of your favorite restaurants. It is also important to make your own variations to the recipe.
