The simplest ingredients come together in something quite extravagant with this dessert. This tart will satisfy those who love desserts that aren’t too sweet with just the right amount of freshness. It is a bit of a labor of love to get the apples sliced the same size (thank god for the mandolin) and the proper…
Hasselback Potatoes
My opinion on Hasselback Potatoes is that they are simply baked potatoes made fancy. In the theme of making every meal special one dish at a time, this is a great way to change things up. Your family will experience the baked potatoes that they love in a whole new way. I started this dish…
Home Made Apple Pie
This is home–made-to-the–finest apple pie! Although, I’m fairly confident in the kitchen, when it comes to something like Apple Pie, where it is well known to everyone and evokes such fond memories, I get a little nervous to create something new. You hear how everyone‘s grandma or aunt or mom makes the BEST apple…
Simple Stove Top Chicken Dinner
An old saying that is thrown around, but not always heeded is: ‘Some times less is more.’ In this case, the less can be more appealing because it’s simple to put together, easy to cook and leaves you with a quite tasty finished product. I like dinners like this for those nights that you would…
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Love This Recipe!!! I have tried to make hummus before, but I have had issue with either the texture being a little gritty or it having a strong bite. And by bite, I mean a Holy-Buckets-Get-Ready-For-Your-Socks-To-Get-Knocked-Off kind of finish that I do not want in my hummus. Hummus is quite a staple in our house for…
Roasted Garlic
It is amazing how scents can transform a mood, bring back a memory or excite a calm or frenzied mood in people. I believe that garlic is one of those undeniable scents that would make even the most novice cook want to venture into the kitchen, thrown on an apron and hit the stove. This easy technique…
AntiPasto Salad
AntiPasto’s literal translation is ‘Before the Meal’ and is a traditional Italian starter course for meal time. And I can’t think of a better way to start a meal than with mouth watering cheeses, cured meats and the perfect vinaigrette dressing. The dressing in this recipe truly makes the meal. Just the right mix of…
Grilled Romaine Salad
I have always believed in hard work, especially when it comes to my career and definitely when it comes to my cooking. Where I may have had a shortcoming is with my eating….I’m sure you’re all aware at this point that I LOVE FOOD! And, not just the actual food, but the concept, the presentation,…
Lemon Cut Out Cookies with Royal Icing
My mom starting something last fall which I believe/hope may become a tradition between the households. When she came to visit, she brought treats in a large Tupperware container. The next time she came to visit, I tried giving that container (emptied of goodies and washed) back to her, but she would not accept. She…
Grilled Cheese & Gazpacho Soup
A New Twist on An Old Classic… Who doesn’t remember Kraft singles melted between toasted bread and served with Campbell’s Tomato Soup from their childhood?! This standby helped kids through colds, was awesome – if you cut the grilled cheese right (triangles), and I’m sure helped parents out on those nights where almost nothing sounded…
