– These little hot ham and cheese sliders would be great at any gathering- a luncheon, brunch or for game day. Not to mention- they appear on our dinner table now and then. You start with sweeter rolls, such as Hawaiian Rolls ( I stopped buying the popular store […]
Seasoned chicken breasts smothered in buttery mushrooms and onions, served topped generously with melted mozzarella cheese. Mmmm! This amazing one skillet chicken dish has been in our family dinner rotation for a few years. It is one I turn to often because it is super quick and easy […]
A while into the process of cutting down on convenience foods, I worked on cutting down on cold cereals. A couple of years ago, cereal is all we ate. I was never one to cook a breakfast. So this was a tough change. Now we eat cereal maybe once […]
Do you ever get tired of buying those expensive tiny little bottles of pure vanilla extract? I did. So I did some online searching and discovered just how easy and inexpensive it was to make large amounts of vanilla at home. I haven’t looked back since. It’s […]

A chocolate cream puff shell filled with peanut butter pastry cream and topped with chocolate peanut butter ganache. Do I have to say much more? I came up with the idea for these when I was making several chocolate peanut butter deserts for my littlest daughter, who loves that combination. And […]
This is an amazing dip that can be thrown together in all of ten minutes! Although, I wouldn’t quite classify it as a dip, more of a topping. It is a wonderful combination of salty olive salad, salami and cheese -reminiscent of the classic muffuletta sandwich. I came across […]
