mmmm I love me some biscuits. Growing up with my father being a baker I think I just love bread in general. I love the smell of dough and the aroma it leaves when baking. This little biscuit is great for all your comfort food pairing this winter. Enjoy with some chili or roasted chicken with gravy….

Homemade Sweet Potato Chips
Who doesn’t love chips? But why not make it healthier for you instead of the same old white potato. Instead, bake up some sweet potatoes. The nutritional value you get is way better. It’s great for your cardiovascular health, a rich source of flavonoid anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that are essential for optimal health. I had…
Garlic Soup
January and February are supposedly National Soup months. I wanted to try something a little different. I have made a lot of soup and chili, but this by far was never tried out in my kitchen. I have mentioned before that in my house we LOVE garlic. We just can’t get enough. Okay enough of me…
Easy Chimichanga
I know a lot of people when they go to a Mexican restaurant they don’t know what a Chimichanga is. I for one was one of those people. That was until I decided to do a little research. I went ahead and made my own Chimichanga. I made some yellow rice, added red beans, onions, lime juice…
Macaroni and Cheese with Special Features
Macaroni and Cheese was always a favorite of mine growing up. Especially when my dad would make it from scratch. My kids love mac & cheese too, But I want them to get some nutrition out of it instead of just cheese and pasta. ( I mean there is nothing wrong with just cheese and pasta). I am very…

Ham and Cheese Lasagna
One of my favorite things my dad would make when I was little was his ham and cheese lasagna. I know it sounds wierd or different but it’s so delicious. All you need is imported or domestic ham, mozzarella or provolone cheese, a can of tomato sauce or jar of marinara. The white sauce has been a…
Drunken Hazelnut Brownie
Sometimes we just want that easy fix with a brownie. In this case I used dark chocolate brownie mix and added a tablespoon of dark rum and half cup of hazelnuts chopped. A super easy fix and the kids loved helping me out. Who doesn’t enjoy a nice chewy brownie with some fruit to make you not feel…
Dulce de Leche Cookies
These little tasty treats reminded me of my Dad for some reason. I guess because he loves Dulce de Leche so much. The cookies were moist, made orange juice and orange zest. I could keep eating them but I limited myself, which was hard to do. They were great with a glass of milk or…
Poached Eggs
I havent poached eggs in so long. My mom use to make them for me as is, or she would add it to soup. I forgot how tasty they really are. My little ones loved them so much they had seconds. I wanted to make something for lunch that was different and since it was still early…
My 5 Fishes
I love the Italian tradition of the 7 fishes and I know some people in my family will create a 7 fishes dinner around the holidays. In Brazil we usually celebrate Christmas eve with our families and friends, while Christmas day is usually celebrated with your immediate family. This year I figured on just having a…
