This is a variation on a fairly traditional buttermilk biscuit recipe. It incorporates ham and cheese right into the dough, and makes for a simply delicious biscuit, an amazing breakfast of biscuits and gravy, or a delicious base for “slider” sandwiches. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Makes about 15 – […]
There are several versions of this amazing pizza online. It’s a pizza, it’s chicken parm, and it’s pasta in a vodka cream sauce. All in one!! I was inspired to try the idea after watching a video of this pizza, which was dropped into hot oil in a large restaurant […]
Yes, it’s time for ANOTHER grand baby birthday cake – This one is for my little Zoe Grace, turning 5 years old. Chocolate cake, with an Oreo cream filling.
This is not my typical scone recipe, which like most scone recipes, is made with heavy cream. But I loved the idea of adding sour cream to an orange scone. I was still able to get the flakey layers that scones are known for. These scones remind me of a […]
These days, my cakes are made for family birthdays. I made this sweet little mermaid cake for my grand daughter Natalie. Hard to believe she is turning 8 years old! I always ask what they want on the inside, as well as the theme for the outside of the cake. […]
Happy Birthday to my son in law Keith! See my prior post for Banana Cake. For the frosting, I made a batch of my cream cheese buttercream frosting, then added about 2 Tbsp of prepared caramel sauce, and blended it together. The store bought caramel sauce worked just fine – […]
This just might be the best pizza I’ve ever had! Not kidding! I LOVE a Chicago style Italian beef sandwich. I had never had one until I moved to the Chicago area, but it soon became a favorite of mine. I wanted to incorporate the flavors of the fresh bread […]
I don’t ALWAYS make everything from scratch – I like a good shortcut every now and then. This is a perfect example. I combined store bought pie dough, and canned cherry pie filling, with a homemade cream cheese filling, and homemade lemon curd – to make 2 different kinds of […]
My Mom was historically not a big fan of “kitchen gadgets”. Yes she had a can opener, and a hand held mixer (which looked more like an egg beater). I remember she did get a true electric hand mixer, then many years later graduated to a full stand mixer. (To […]
I love a sweet roll for breakfast. My favorite is one that incorporates nuts into the recipe. This pecan braid starts very simply, with frozen puff pastry dough, or prepared sweet roll dough. The dough can be made from scratch, but even I want a shortcut from time to time! […]
I spent the day yesterday make cinnamon rolls. They came out beautifully, and made my house smell like cinnamon heaven! I kept that feeling going today, with a CINNAMON ROLL SUGAR COOKIE. I always come back to my Mom’s traditional Christmas sugar cookie dough, and thought that would be a […]
It’s my day off, I’m in the kitchen, and it’s cold outside. A perfect day to make myself some homemade cinnamon rolls! This is not a family recipe, but I was intrigued by the technique of mixing the yeast into the dry ingredients! That’s a first for me, and quite […]
This year, I made my Mom’s sugar cookies with – yes – royal icing. I have to say that although they are beautiful, decorating with royal icing takes a LOT of time (compared to my kid’s favorite “store bought canned frosting”!!) These took a total of 3 days – to […]
