Tried and True Recipes any time any day…
In the words of Hannibal Smith, “I just love it when a plan comes together!” About a week ago my friend Ginny and I were working out and discussing that our friend Leah’s 30th birthday was coming up. We knew that she wasn’t thrilled about turning the big 3-0 so we decided to throw her a small surprise party. We […]
Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body is one of my favorite blogs. I love the author’s humor and often lol when reading her post. Her food looks great and is very different from my style of cooking. I think one reason I like her blog so much is because I get ideas for foods that […]
Last week I baked some delicious $100,000 Cinnamon Rolls. The recipe calls for orange zest which left me with four zested oranges. I hate to waste food and try to either eat as leftovers, freeze, or use in another dish. I started thinking about what I could do with those oranges. In Sicily, they have an amazing orange salad that consists of […]
Yesterday I posted on facebook that I was having serious blogging withdrawals. BTW- you can check out my new facebook cooking page here. It is a simple and quick way to share cooking information and tips. I love the interaction that facebook offers. Sometimes I feel like I am all alone talking to myself in blog land . I am only 2 clicks […]

I looked through my cookbooks until I found this recipe. This Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake is a no bake recipe. When […]
This is one of my favorite fall recipes! I love this desert sooooo much! photo from www.pauladeen.com I do not like fall because I know that means winter is coming and I HATE cold weather. But just being able to indulge in this sweet treat makes it a little easier to cope. This is an “eat for breakfast” kind […]
This southern girl loves some chicken salad, but I don’t love how traditional chicken salad recipes are loaded with fat. Mayonnaise is very fattening and when paired with a buttery croissant, a chicken salad sandwich can sabotage a healthy diet. Speaking of croissants, have you ever cooked or watched someone make them? If you have, I […]
I am a little behind on blogging to say the least, but wanted to share this wonderful cake recipe! Less than a week before the Royal Wedding, I decided to throw a party. I thought it would be great fun to invite over some friends, get dressed up, and celebrate the mementous event. Most everyone dressed up […]
I love pesto! It is really easy to make and so nice to have on hand. It is great as a spread for bread or crackers for a quick appetizer, or tossed with pasta for a quick, simple and delicious dish. A food processor is typically needed when making pesto. However, I don’t have a food processor and […]
