Tried and True Recipes any time any day…
I have said before that I am not a great cook, but I am a good recipe finder. This recipe is an example of that. This cake is so good and totally over the top! At our local Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society office where I volunteer, we often have themed potlucks. This month one of our creative volunteers suggested we do […]
I have always thought that banana foster looked delicious. Many of the recipes I have seen for this dessert call for dark rum and sometimes banana liqueur to be added and then lit on fire. I am sure it makes for an impressive display, but I don’t keep rum or banana liqueur on hand and am too […]
Some of you may have read my post several months ago about the $100,000 Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls. They are the bomb diggity of cinnamon rolls. They are worth every bit of time and energy it takes to make them, but I realize that not everyone has the time or desire to tackle that recipe. It is not a […]
Beans, beans good for your heart, the more you eat them, the more you will love these awesome refried beans! I know, you thought I was gonna say fart, but I am too much of a southern belle to say such things:) Refried beans are not a glamour food, and you never hear anyone say […]

I am a little embarrassed to admit that I had often heard of crepes before coming to Italy, but didn’t know what they were. They sounded to me like a fancy fru fru pastry. Crepes are actually a very thin pancake that are really simple to make. For a delicious dessert, fill them with fruit, or […]
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 […]
Whenever I have bananas that are too ripe to eat, I will usually bake banana bread. A few months ago I had some ripe bananas, but decided to try something different. I went to one of my favorite recipe sources, http://www.food.com/, and found a recipe for Best Ever Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Almost […]
Risotto is a very popular Italian dish. I had never heard of risotto until we moved to Italy. There are many variates of risotto dishes and they are all delicious. It is easy to make, but does require a lot of attention while cooking, but it is so worth it! [puregallery]
