My grandmother made the best cabbage. I do not think that I will ever be able to get my cabbage to taste like hers. Actually, I probably have replicated it perfectly, but in my mind’s eye, it will never quite be the same. There is something about a revered grandmother’s cooking that makes one think […]

I think I may have said this before, but my son loves pesto. I think he would swim in it if he could. HAHA! I have found a variety of ways to include pesto in recipes when I can because he loves it so much. The pesto connoisseur that he is, he says the best-jarred […]

Years and years ago, I went to Dream Dinners in my town to create some meals to keep in my freezer. One of the meals was an Almond Chicken that I really liked. It was the only one I could remember all the ingredients to replicate at home. This is my version of it. Ingredients […]

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 […]

A Fathead pizza crust differs slightly from a regular homemade pizza crust made with all-purpose flour because it is not stretchy. It will break apart if you try to stretch the Fathead Dough to make […]

I saw this recipe for Frozen Raspberry Cheesecake Bites via Pinterest that caught my eye. It was one of the really fast video recipes that are floating around everywhere right now. I found the full recipe on Delish.com (click here), but I made some alterations to their recipe along with some additional instructions that would […]

Glazed with what, you might ask? These delicious meatballs are glazed with a homemade mixed berry glaze. When I glaze something, I like a generous amount of it. The sweetness of the berries brings out the savory flavor of the chicken meatballs. I was talking on the phone with my bestie while I was making […]

Fry sauce….drizzle it on french fries, slather it on a burger or hot dog or use it as a dip for veggies. 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 […]
