Cinnamon Sugar Cookie

Have you ever needed a great cookie to go with a fruit dip, something you would serve to company. Instead of graham crackers! I think I have the perfect cookie. Not too sweet, but a lot of warm cinnamon flavor. The molasses gives this cookie a chewy center and great cinnamon color! This cookie is

White Chicken Chili

This recipe for chicken chili is the easiest to make, healthy and has great flavor. With a little bit of dried spices, it will be an easy comfort food to warm up leftovers too. This takes less than an hour to prepare, perfect for a weeknight meal! I will be honest, I have always eaten

Pepperoni Rolls

Pepperoni rolls are the perfect appetizer if you are looking for something easy! Or instead of Friday night pizza takeout, serve it with a tossed salad...dinner done! I have been making these for as long as I can remember, and before that my mom made them. I have her hand written recipe, circa @1985. So

Holiday Nut Rolls

Hearty Tortellini Soup with Italian Sausage & Spinach

Hashbrown Egg Bake

Hashbrowns and eggs together as one! I think it is instant comfort food! You can serve this for breakfast or brunch, or lunch or even dinner! Why not! Breakfast for dinner is one of our favorite things! I don't think you could use the cubed potatoes in this recipe, they would be too chunky. I

Mom’s Chocolate Cake

Are you like me and are baking and cooking a ton right now? It is getting old staying inside, but let's face it we are all safe at home right now. This global pandemic has to end soon, or the Freshman 15 will turn into the Covid-19 plus some! I have not baked or cooked

Slow Cooker Sweet Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onions

My swimmers eat a lot of pasta! I am always trying to come up with ways to make it differently. I have used it in stir-fry's, in casseroles (but to be honest my family doesn't eat too many of those), and I have made it just with butter and chopped fresh garlic and parmesan cheese

Healthy Zucchini Muffins

As you probably have already realized I bake and cook a lot! Most of the time my kids turn up their noses at zucchini. They will eat it grilled in the summer, or sautéed with butter. But don't add marinara sauce to it or try to get fancy with making it into a boat and
