This recipe uses my original Asiago Cheese Bagel recipe as the base for an Everything Bagel. I love the garlic and onion flavors, and the overall savory appeal of this bagel. The only adjustment needed is to watch them closely in the oven. The “everything” topping tended to brown quickly, […]
Love this sweet and spicy noodle dish. You can add some roasted chicken breast, or leave it as a vegetarian dish. The spice is easily adjustable to conform to you or your family’s palate. Super quick preparation – on the table in under an hour! THAI ZUCCHINI NOODLES RECIPE (serves […]
I love my white chocolate cheesecake – but add to it some balls of chocolate chip cookie dough, and an Oreo crust – well, this just might be my favorite cheesecake ever! It has the smoothness and creaminess of a cheesecake, with pieces of chocolate chip cookie dough scattered throughout […]
Cherry pie has always been my favorite pie. I’m talking about the one my Mom would make – often for my birthday. She would make a homemade pie crust, but would fill the pie with what I thought was the most AMAZING canned cherry pie filling! I would eat the […]
Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate – a chocolate over-load for sure! The small individual size is what makes these alright – after all, it’s smaller than a slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, which I can never finish anyway. This is just enough to satisfy my chocolate craving. I […]
This peanut butter cookie recipe is from my Christmas cookie collection – I use this to make my peanut butter blossom cookies. It’s such a tender, and delicious cookie, that I thought it would be perfect dipped in chocolate, then rolled in an assortment of sprinkles and chopped peanuts. Recipe […]
I love making birthday cakes for friends and family. This cake design was perfect for my grand daughter Zoe’s 4th birthday. She is young, sweet, clever, and very imaginative. She loves making up stories, and playing outside. Her fantastic imagination could certainly make the characters in this cake come to […]
When I have a few hours to get creative in the kitchen, my favorite thing to make is a tart. There is something about a tart that is elegant yet simple, and at the same time artistic and beautiful. I can’t think of anything better than that! This creamy lemon […]
For me to post a meatloaf recipe – it HAS to be something special. I have never been a fan of meatloaf – not homemade, not store bought, not in a restaurant… not even my Mom’s recipe. š I just decided I need to come up with a recipe that […]
A whimsical circus animal cookie comes to life with this cupcake design – made with my grand babies in mind. I started with a vanilla bean cupcake, then added a mascarpone whipped cream filling. Sprinkles are everything to this cupcake, so after topping with a vanilla cream cheese buttercream, the […]
Nothing could be more comforting to me than homemade bread. For a yeast bread, this is a really simple English muffin recipe. The dough took 1 hour to rise, then another 30 min for each muffin to rise again. They are then cooked in a cast iron skillet, or griddle […]
The best thing about these Oreo cheesecake bites – besides the Oreos and cheesecake – is the SIZE of them! No need for a full slice of cheesecake – when you can just finish one of these off in about 3 bites! They are perfect for parties, or a sweet […]
As I was pondering the new “stay at home” order for the state of Illinois -due to the spread of the Covid 19 Virus – I came across a tweet by actor Matt McConaughey. He talked about relying on each other throughout this struggle, and putting aside prejudice of all […]
In the midst of the fear and uncertainly surrounding the Corona Virus, nothing sounded better to me for dinner tonight than some good old fashioned comfort food. I had all the ingredients on hand – so this was super simple. I pulled together a barbecue chicken pizza, and chocolate chip […]
