I make six of these at a time so that each of us can have two. I use a variety of toppings that include fresh fruit, nuts, granola and candy. These parfaits are great for breakfast or as a snack. I use clear plastic punch cups or parfait cups from the Dollar Tree to store […]

I have a funny relationship with skewered foods. Skewered appetizers are fine in my book because the skewer provides the means to consume without using utensils while mingling at a party. Using skewers to grill meat and vegetables (especially vegetables) seems pointless to me. Skewered vegetables are difficult to cook; they are difficult to get […]

Every time I go to Costco I pick up two of their rotisserie chickens. Sometimes I pick up three. We call the rotisserie chickens “lucky chickens” because you can call yourself lucky to get dinner that night. If I pick up three, one is for dinner, and the other two I remove and shred the […]

Making a pizza crust from Fathead Dough is so incredibly easy. It is actually my favorite way to use Fathead Dough.

Fast food restaurants around the country have spun out their own version of this humble condiment whose main ingredients are mayonnaise and ketchup. My favorite fry sauce comes from Raisin’ Canes. The only […]

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! Hamburgers and hot dogs are commonplace in homes across America on the 4th of July. Barbecues, swimming and beach days spent with friends and family are the highlights of the summer as America celebrates its 245th birthday! There is something so basic and simple about the humble hot dog. By itself with […]

Even when it is hot outside, soup warms the soul when you don’t feel well. Today is one of those days for me. Allergies have taken their toll, leaving me feeling tired and draggy. A hearty soup like this Chicken Fajita Soup is the ticket to that comforting feeling a person needs when illness strikes. […]
