ROSEMARY-ROASTED CASHEWS: Stir a half pound of cashews, 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, and 2 teaspoons olive oil in a bowl until the nuts are coated. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm.
MARINATED GOAT CHEESE: Slice a 4-ounce log of goat cheese into 1/2-inch rounds and arrange in a wide shallow bowl. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 sprigs thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried thyme), 2 teaspoons chopped garlic, and 1 teaspoon fennel seeds. Pour the oil over the goat cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature with whole wheat crackers.
INDIAN VEGETABLE DIP: Season a small container of plain yogurt with cumin, garlic powder, chopped cucumber, and a bit of salt. Use as a dip for cucumber rounds, bell peppers, or baby carrots.

| I always get rave reviews by making home-made Boursin Cheese and filling a decorator and making dainty designs on sliced veggies. The recipe is from Weight Watchers and I just thin it down a bit with fat-free milk so it will press very easily through the decorator tip. This is delicious, healthy and the presentation is an eye-catcher! |
