One of our greatest pleasures is sitting down to a cozy,home-cooked meal
with family & friends. In today's fast-food world, though, it can
be such a challenge!

With the recipes we've collected in Almost Homemade,
you can make yummy, fresh-tasting dishes using menu helpers from the
cupboard and fridge...products that have already done all the chopping and
shredding, whisking and stirring for you. It's a snap to start the
weekend off right with Rise & Shine Quiche and Blueberry Puffs for
brunch. Or treat your family to Caesar Coleslaw, Chicken Comfort
Casserole and French Market Squash for dinner, topped off with
scrumptious Chocolate-Cherry Cake.

You'll be the most relaxed
hostess ever when you set out Texas Caviar, Crispy Crunchy Snack Mix,
Creamy Artichoke Pizzas and Can't-Eat-One Bacon Swirls for party
snacking...enjoy spending time with your guests instead of time in the
kitchen.

easy ideas that make entertaining a breeze. So get cooking and enjoy
