What's a girl to do when she wants PIZZA, but is trying to avoid carbs and wheat? Chicken pizza of course! This is a great way to get all the flavors you love from your favorite pizza toppings without a lot of extra heaviness from the dough. It's not really even a recipe...it's more a … Continue reading Chicken Pizza with Beet Salad
Over the holiday break, we spent some time making new bourbon drinks. For some reason, I love bourbon during the cooler months, summer not so much. This was by far everyone's favorite of the 5 or 6 we tried. Even my mom (who does not drink much) liked it, though we had to tone it … Continue reading Bourbon Slush
Soup season is upon us, and I'm pretty happy about that. During the fall and winter months I usually make a pot of chili or soup at least once a week. It makes me feel good to have something nice and hot around to have for lunch or dinner. This creamy chicken and poblano soup … Continue reading Chicken Poblano Soup
I find I find it difficult sometimes to make a casserole type dish for just a few people, and something like cheese potatoes is especially hard for me to do. I created this recipe for when I had my whole family here, and they love these things. It's usually a 13x9 dish, but I set … Continue reading Cheese potatoes
Yeah, I know I'm behind on trying this one. Truth is I've never been a fan of a pressure cooker. I remember my mom and grandma canning green beans in one. The noise and the heat was such a turn off that I think I just tried to ignore this new contraption. Sure, some of … Continue reading Product review – InstaPot
A seafood boil is a great summertime party food that's as much fun to make as it is to eat. All the prep is done in advance and then all that's left is the cooking. My family - especially my dad - absolutely loves this meal. Here's a good base, but it's easy to change … Continue reading Seafood Boil
Cool and creamy cheesecake is one of my all time favorite summer desserts. If you want to make it for a get-together, this dessert is for you since you really need to make it a day ahead of time. You can dress it up with sauces or whipped cream (or both like I do), or … Continue reading Cheesecake with Mixed Berry Sauce
Eggs Benedict is really nothing more than an English muffin topped with some Canadian bacon, a poached egg and creamy hollandaise sauce. This is one of my absolute favorite breakfast foods, and I am being serous this time. I just started eating this as an adult, out at some random brunch one morning. I was … Continue reading Eggs Benedict
During the week when I am busy working, this is a short cut way for us to have a comforting dish without a lot of prep or work on my part. If you want to get a rotisserie chicken and just use a good quality can of peppers it gets even easier. I do make … Continue reading Weeknight Chicken Enchiladas
Last week my husband asked me for a meal that I hadn't made in a quite a while. This dish was originally made with canned cream of mushroom soup - which I try to avoid due to the sodium content - but with the uncertainty of what is going to be available at the grocery … Continue reading Chicken and Mushroom Crepes
