Golden Rules of Food Safety
IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT! If you have any question in your mind about the freshness or safety of eating a food product, throw it out. It is better to be safe than sorry!

Picnic Safety Tips
There is nothing more American than the picnic. Picnics can take on many forms, such as the community picnic, friends and neighbors, tailgate parties, or ball games. There is also one sure thing at every picnic-lots of good food.

The important point is to have safe and healthy food, not food that can cause food borne illness. Always prepare and store food properly.

Summer Safety Tips
Summer is the time for barbecues and picnics. The biggest party crasher at summer picnic and buffets is food borne bacteria. You can't see them and you can't taste them, but you sure can feel them if illness occurs hours or days later.

Baked Honey-Glazed Ham

Balsamic & Dijon Glazed Ham with Roasted Pearl Onions
This is a great dish if you want something that's not too much work, but looks like you slaved in the kitchen for hours. This is also the best ham glaze! It is an amazing and easy dish to prepare.

Side Dishes:

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Garlic mashed potatoes are so good! Especially great with a ham dinner.	or	Asiago and Sage Scalloped Potatoes I really like scalloped potatoes! Asiago cheese is a hard cheese with a slightly sharper flavor than Parmesan cheese. If you can't find Asiago, substitute aged Parmesan Cheese.
Asparagus Parmigiano This is my favorite way to prepare and serve fresh Spring asparagus. It is so simple and so good!	or	Green Beans with Toasted Hazelnuts Fresh green beans are another favorite vegetable that makes a great side dish.

Salad:
Fruit salads always taste good with a baked ham as hams are usually a little salty.

Provencal Orange and Honey Salad
Feel free to adapt and fiddle with this wonderful orange salad according to your whim. I figure about half to three-fourths of an orange per person and then the rest can be to taste.

Linda's Favorite Fresh Fruit Salad
This is my favorite fresh fruit salad! This salad is very refreshing and also low in calories. I use whatever fresh fruit is in season when making this salad. The banana dressing is very light and compliments the fruit.

Dessert:

Chocolate Hazelnut Swirl Cheesecake
This cheesecake is for serious chocophiles! Imagine the hazelnut spread on a bed of crunchy nuts and a piping hot cup of coffee - it's a sweet temptation.

Fantastic Lemon Meringue Pie
This lemon meringue pie is exceptional.

Finale:

A good way to end a meal is with a (decaf) latte.
