Aunt Winnie’s Peanut Butter Bars
Any time I ever visited my Great Aunt Winnie, there was always a feast. There is never an empty stomach in her house! And of course, she always said, “Oh, it’s nothing special… just a little dinner”. Well, to her, “just a little dinner” usually consisted of one fabulous main course, at least…
Mediterranean Tuna Noodle Casserole
Tuna and noodle casserole is one of those dishes that can be… let’s face it… boring. However, I think this version of the classic recipe is punched up a bit by the red peppers and artichokes. It’s also quite versatile, so feel free to make it your own. I can imagine the addition…

Strawberry Shortcake has to be one of my favorite summertime desserts. The fresh, sweet strawberries atop a tender shortcake with a large dollop of whipped cream seems to scream “Summer is here!” Every year, I can’t wait for strawberries to be in season so that I can make this easy, fresh dessert to…
Puppy Chow
You may be asking yourself, “Why is this recipe called Puppy Chow?” And the truth is, I have no idea why we call it that. What I do know, is that it’s a quick, easy, kid-pleasing snack. You can throw it together in a matter of minutes.
Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms
“This is probably my favorite way to eat chicken.” That’s a quote from my husband the last time I made Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms for dinner. Marinate some chicken breasts in honey, mustard, and lemon, then top with bacon, mushrooms and cheese… How could that go wrong?

Got extra dough leftover from making your favorite pie crust recipe? Here’s a couple of ideas for how to use up the extras!
Oat Pancakes
Hot pancakes topped with maple syrup and butter (and maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar) make a great breakfast on the weekend. These pancakes have oats in them which makes them heartier and healthier than your normal flapjacks. They are quick to put together, and I guarantee they’ll be just as quick to…
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake is everything you think it can be… and then some! It is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. It can be left plain, or topped with anything you desire… from fruit, to caramel, to chocolate. The possibilities are endless and quite delicious! We chose to top it with some caramel…
Soft Pretzels
Soft pretzels are a fun project for your next get-together. I recently took these to a Super Bowl party, and they were a hit! The crust is chewy and slightly crisp, while the inside remains soft and delicious.
