Cheeseburger Soup
One more soup to help you warm up during the chilly days leading up to spring… This is a delicious variation on your classic potato soup. It actually smells like a cheeseburger while you’re cooking it! My Aunt Cindy shared this tasty soup with us years ago, and we’ve been making it ever…
Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed Mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers. They are such yummy little bites… I could make a meal out of a plate full! But that’s another story… This is another recipe that I’ve come up with by reading through dozens somewhat like it. When I find mushrooms on sale, this is often…
Sunday Gumbo
Here’s another soup to get you through those dreary winter days… Sunday Gumbo. I found this recipe years ago when thumbing through a cooking magazine my mom subscribed to, Taste of Home. I have found many good recipes through the years from this magazine, as it is perfect for the everyday home cook!
Maple Whole Wheat Scones
Scones! These Maple Whole Wheat Scones are tender and slightly sweet… perfect for breakfast or brunch! I am a maple syrup lover, but the maple flavor of these scones is subtle. If you leave off the glaze, you might not even notice the maple flavor at all. To me, the flavor of the…
Italian Sausage Pasta Sauce
Looking for a meat sauce that’s not ground beef-based? I think you’ll like this one… Italian Sausage Pasta Sauce. It’s chunky and full of flavor. Perfect with penne or spaghetti. Just like many of my Italian recipes, this is one which I think tastes as good (if not better!) the next day.
Crème Brûlée
Crème brûlée. When I first heard of the dessert, it sounded fancy… and intimidating! How could I ever learn to make a dessert of which I could barely spell the name? The creamy goodness underneath a crunchy, caramelized sugar top? Impossible! I first tasted this dessert on a fancy outing with my husband…
Walnut, Cranberry, and Blue Cheese Salad
I am a sucker for fruit, nut, and lettuce salads. I love them. This particular concoction is affectionately called “crack salad” by my husband. What else can I say to add to that?!
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
On weekday mornings, all I have time to eat is a bowl of cold cereal before I have to dash out of the door. And I do like cereal, but it can get a little monotonous. Thus, on the weekends, I love to have a fresh baked good for breakfast. Some weekends I…
Spinach Lasagna
I don’t make many lasagnas. In fact, I think this is the only recipe I’ve ever made. It began with a recipe which my sister found on the internet, and I have tweaked it to our liking. I started by making it smaller, as the original recipe made a 13″ x 9″ pan…
