recipe Dinner Recipe: Watermelon Shrimp Salad
Servings: 10
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions

Sweet, spicy and easy to make, this salad travels well in a cooler to picnics and summer gatherings. I love the combination of flavors, the colorful presentation, and of course, I love to see the happy faces of my guests once they've tried it.

  • 1 seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 10 cups)

  • 1 large cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1 small navel orange, peeled and sectioned
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

recipe Breakfast Recipe: Breakfast Sausage Bread
Servings: 2 Loaves(16 pieces each)
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions

Any time we take this savory, satisfying bread to a potluck, it goes over very well. We never bring any home. My husband generally makes this bread and prides himself on the beautiful golden loaves. -Shirley Caldwell, Northwood, Ohio
Recipe by: Shirley Caldwell ~ Northwood, Ohio


    Ingredients:
  • 2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen white bread dough, thawed
  • 1/2 pound mild pork sausage
  • 1/2 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
  • 1-1/2 cups diced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 3 large eggs, divided use
  • 2-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook sausage, mushrooms and onion over medium-high heat until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles, 6-8 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a bowl; cool.
  • Stir in 2 eggs, cheese and seasonings. Roll each loaf of dough into a 16x12-in. rectangle. Spread half of the sausage mixture over each rectangle to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg. Brush over tops. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Serve warm.
