YUM! I used my Honey Baked Ham from Easter for this dish and it was excellent! Sweet potatoes and edamame have been labeled ”super foods” being they are full of good for you nutrients. If you have never had an edamame I suggest you try one. This is not my own recipe, however I did leave out a few things and [...]

This was in last months Southern Living…the problem was there was no measurements…just a picture. So, I created my own and I think it is pretty close to theirs!

Light and fresh!! These are delicious and so easy. They come out with a light lemon cake on top and a pudding on the bottom with raspberries laced through. Amazing! I brought this to a dinner party and it was major hit! The cutest part is everyone gets their own individual one. Lemon love…one of my spring [...]
California Quinoa

Quinoa is my new favorite food! It is super good for you and very easy to prepare. Quinoa takes no time to cook (unlike brown rice) and it is versatile (like couscous). My good friend told me that you can buy large bags of quinoa at Costco for a fraction of the tiny $7 box you [...]

I love, love fresh pico de gallo!!! It is delicious on fajitas, quesadillas or just as a dip on your tortilla chip. I decided to add it to brown rice to jazz things up. It turned out to be super delicious and super fast. This is great weeknight meal if you add in cooked chicken. I [...]

Making homemade granola is A LOT easier than I ever anticipated. Actually, now that I have made it, I won’t buy the other stuff. My husband and I love this recipe and eat it in the morning in yogurt or milk. Sometimes I pack a little bag of it for a snack on the way [...]
Tortellini-Sausage Soup

I think I make this about once a month in the fall and winter. It is a great “go to” soup that comes together in a snap and is easy on the budget. You can serve it with a hearty bread to soak up all the yummness…(yes that’s my new word). This makes plenty of [...]
