Pizza Balls

This is such a ridiculously easy recipe and a perfect addition to bring a party, serve as an appetizer or pop in your kid’s lunches! They freeze beautifully – a handy treat to have on hand when friends or family pop in on you! You can whip up a batch in less time that it’s […]

Footprints

Today’s post is not so much about the recipe but more the post-Mother’s Day reflection. Although I do give you a good peanut butter cookie recipe at the end! Today’s post is about the footprints we make in each others lives. A while back on one of my posts about my grand kids, someone commented […]

Irish Soda Bread Muffins

I’m not Irish…I don’t even own one piece of green clothing but I sure have fun with the holiday! When my girls were little toddlers, I would wake them up in the morning in my Irish brogue (well, my Polish Slovak Irish brogue)… and would talk to them all day in my brogue… I would […]

Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake

My dear friend, Shari invited us to her house for dinner and I offered to make dessert. All week, I wanted to bring a special dessert and wanted to bring one that was so “Shari”… Luscious and sweet with a hint of rum! I found all that in this recipe. I’m not a big fan […]

Key Lime Cupcakes

It’s a celebratory weekend and I thought I’d serve up the day with something sweet, bright, tart and colorful… Key Lime Cupcakes! I’m celebrating my oldest daughter’s visit. I haven’t seen her since October and we have some celebrating to make up for since I couldn’t see her at Thanksgiving or Christmas. We exchanged presents […]

Texas Sheet Cake

What has a pound of butter… a pound of sugar… decadent chocolate… and pecans? Texas Sheet Cake! This recipe is not for the faint of heart…nor the faint of spirit. You won’t be able to resist once you see the goey-ness and smell the chocolate. One bite leads to one piece of cake which leads […]

Easy Apple Pie

Impromptu. Impromptu dessert. Impromptu blog post. It was Saturday afternoon and we had plans with friends for an early dinner. I’m standing in the produce aisle with Hubby and said “Hey, let’s do dessert at our house!” He certainly didn’t argue with that and when I asked what should I make, he pointed to the […]

Rosemary Focaccia

Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts. – James Beard It’s soup night. I can’t just eat soup. I need a sandwich or a good bread to go with it. Today I went to the store for my soup ingredients and browsed […]

Woofies

Dog gone it! My life has gone to the dogs as of late. It all started with a good intention of buying my dogs “organic” treats. I’m very picky of what I feed my dogs… No table scraps… Holistic food…. Veggies for snacks…they love fresh green beans, red peppers, carrots and cabbage! I got reeled […]
