Broccoli and Split Pea Soup

Finally Spring is here and you can feel the warmth in the air.  I still enjoy having soup now and then in the warm months but I like them light. This little creation came to me the other day.  I ran into a situation where I didn’t have any celery, so I figured I would…

Mexican Lasagna

I love having mexican night at our house.  I try to make something different everytime.  I think this Mexican Lasagna is now on the list of favorites; probably #1.  This dish is super easy to make, and I’m sure the family will love.  Instead of using pasta I used whole wheat tortillas.  I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 tablespoons…

Homemade Wheat Bread

Being a Baker’s daughter I figured it was about time I made some Homemade bread.  I do not have a bread machine or maker.  I use my hands, which are the best equipment in my grandmother’s eyes.  Anyway making bread at home does require patience and time, but it does payoff.  It’s affordable, healthy and makes your house…

Zucchini Quiche

Yes I said Quiche! I love making Quiche.  It’s one of those things that you can put any kind of filling in and it just works.  Since today is Monday I figured I would keep it meatless.  I know alot of Quiches are made with a pastry crust but I figured I could cut that out and make…

Steak & Gnocchi Dinner

I know steak isn’t good for you to eat all the time, but I do have to say I am a fan of a good steak especially if its done just right.  One thing people should know when preparing a steak is to let it get to room temp before cooking it.  If not you will get a…

Pork Chops with Blueberry Sauce

I had n extra pack of blueberries hanging around in the refrigerator, and I really wanted to make something other than dessert with them.  I knew the following night I had pork chops waiting to be used.  I figured these 2 could workout and be merry together.  The dish was light, and I laid the chops down…

Brownie cup with Peanut Butter and Pretzels

It’s crazy, but a lot of ideas come to me when I am in bed getting ready to sleep.  When that happens I have to get up and write  my ideas down.  A lot of people love brownies, peanut butter and pretzels so why not incorporate everything together.  I love things that come with a sweetness,…

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…

Peanut Butter & Jelly Blondie

I decided today to try and make some Blondie Bars.  For some of you who don’t know, a Blondie Bar is like a brownie but has a Butterscotch taste to it.  I wanted to try and make something a little different though.  I made some Peanut Butter and raspberry Jelly Blondies.  I used actual Peanut Butter instead of Peanut Butter Chips.  I’m…
