There is something warming about a cup of chili. I am not talking about the added spices or the heat used to create it. I am talking about the soothing effect it has on one’s being. Troubles seem to slip away, though I must admit that food tends to do that for me anyways.   [...]

Here is a great recipe that is great as an appetizer and will be sure to bring raves from all guests. It is easy to make and if you have any frustrations that you’d like to disperse, squeezing the spinach will help. Just squeeze real hard, and poof, frustrations are gone. Add a few chopped [...]

I have decided to try my hand at making my own relish for this year’s Thanksgiving feast. Even though I am only cooking for my husband and mom, it certainly doesn’t mean I am doing without any of my old time favorites. I love turkey dinner and I always need to have cranberry sauce to accompany it. [...]

Here is a superb meal for anytime, but makes an incredible buffet offering. I recently had this at our school luncheon buffet and it was very tasty and filling. Brigitte, who is an incredible cook, made it and as you can see by the picture, it is moist and inviting! It is perfect for a [...]

Leftover ham? Here is a great way to use it up. I had an incredible tasting ham for Easter and way too much left over. I decided to make a ham and pasta salad as we wanted something different for dinner. Very easy to make and makes a perfect dinner or lunch, light yet still [...]

One of my favorite breakfasts is pancakes with blueberries and a side of turkey sausage. Some die hard fans of sausage might complain that this is the whimpy version, it has no taste, and not quite what they would proclaim is a breakfast food. Au contraire, this is just what is needed to start the [...]

Here is a great recipe for an appetizer. Easter is on the way and if you need an appetizer here is one that will be prepared in a crock pot, leaving the stove for dinner preparation. It is very easy to follow but don’t let that fool you into thinking that it is less of [...]
