devilled eggs

I love the dickens out of some devilled eggs. They're at every picnic, church potluck, funeral, Easter and 4th of July. I've tweaked this to my version of perfection by pouring some relish or sweet pickle juice into the yolk mash. I also pour the paprika into my hands and then dust it over the entire tray to make it fall all perfectly powdery, but it's really hard to screw these up. Just make sure you salt the yolk mash enough. [Oh - and I think using Miracle Whip is much better than mayo but people from the "true" deep South will beg to differ.]

cheese fondue

This is the best fondue recipe I've come across. I don't know why we don't eat fondue more often. Oh yeah, it's because our fondue pot broke.

7 layer dip

People go crazy for this. At the bottom (you can barely see it) it says "top with sliced olives, shredded cheese, and cilantro."
