Special-Occasion Cooking

(NAPSI)-Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation day or other special time for you and yours, you can make it even more savory with a delicious meal.

To help, there's a brand new cookbook with 300 recipes, such as:

• A sumptuous brunch: Dreamy Orange Waffles, Baked Puffy Cheese Omelet with Peach Salsa, Overnight Blintz Bake or Cheesy Vegetable Quiche.

• Lunch or dinner might include: Slow Cooker Burgundy Stew with Herb Dumplings, Skillet Chicken Parmesan, Oven-Fried Pork Cutlets with Apple Slaw or Impossibly Easy Quesadilla Pie.

• Special sweet treats: Peach-Praline Tart, Fudgy Frosted Brownie Cookies or Impossibly Easy Toffee Bar Cheesecake.

• Take breakfast to the next level: Bisquick, the nation's bestselling convenience baking mix, makes it a snap to prepare Pear'n Ginger-Topped Waffle, Scrambled Egg Biscuit Cups or Carrot-Walnut Coffee Cake.

"The Betty Crocker Ultimate Bisquick Cookbook" (Wiley) offers plenty of stress-free cooking inspiration to make any meal you prepare-brunch, lunch or dinner for Mom or Dad, a birthday celebration or just a get-together of family or friends--a good time.
