This easy no-boil lasagna was a favorite family recipe when I was growing up and is now a favorite with my family. It is so delicious, and I can honestly say it is the best lasagna I have ever eaten. Even the lasagna in Italy doesn’t compare to this dish. I have cooked this recipe many […]

Turtle Brownies ~ Oldie but a Goodie
I have had this recipe for about 16 years. It is one of the first recipes that I learned to make and one of my husband’s favorites. These brownies are really moist and oozing with gooey caramel and chocolaty goodness! Top with a scoop of ice cream for extra deliciousness! Buon Appetito!
Oven-Fried Eggplant
What is large, purple, and has a round bottom? No, it’s not Grimace, the Ronald McDonald character, or Barney the dinosaur. It’s an eggplant or melazana in Italian. There are many different varieties of eggplant. Some are small ivory-white and plump; they may be pink or purple and flecked with white irregular stripes. In Asia, they […]
Buttermilk Pancakes
In honor of National Pancake Day, I thought I would share our family’s favorite pancake recipe. These are the best, fluffiest pancakes ever. They are really quick and simple to make. I often modified the recipe and substituted whole wheat flour instead of the all-purpose flour for a healthier option. You can also add 1 cup fruit, nuts, […]
Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies
My absolute favorite peppermint treat is Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies. I adapted Southern Living’s All-Time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies to create this recipe. I like sweets. I really do, but I am not usually too tempted to eat what I bake. I get more enjoyment from baking than I usually get from eating. However, I cannot resist these chocolaty delights. They get me every time. […]
Poppy Seed Chicken

Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Don’t you just love the all-in-one printers we have these days. Printer, fax machine, copier, and scanner capability in the same machine. It’s genius. I remember when we first got our all-in-one printer. The copier option was my favorite. No more running to the library or office supply store to make copies. It was great! […]
Crockpot Chicken
This recipe comes from a friend that I met in what seems like a lifetime ago when I had preschoolers. Some of you can relate to the endless tiresome days that are spent chasing a little one around and attempting to get other things done in the process. There were days if I didn’t throw something in […]
Soft Snickerdoodle Cookies
Snickerdoodle is such a funny word. I just love saying it! If you know me very well, you know that I like to make cookies, but until a few weeks ago I had never made snickerdoodles. I love cinnamon so I really liked them, but I knew they were really good when my husband enthusiastically approved. He […]
