• Boneless Buffalo Bites

    Buffalo wings are sold everywhere these days.  Sport bars, chain restaurants and most of them contain the same ingredients.  Breaded or deep-fried wings and hot sauce.  This one is a little different.  The chicken is marinated as in a fried chicken-style marinade of buttermilk and keeps the white meat juicy and moist.  It might take…

  • Summer Tomato Pie

    Most people hear the words “tomato pie” and think pizza, or maybe green tomato pie, but this is neither.  It’s an open pie heaped with slices of fresh, summer tomatoes.  I found two tomato pies that I wanted to try, so here’s Number One.  The second is a double crust pie with a combination of…

  • Chicken Ceasar Salad Wraps

    I always get this wrap at the local diner.  They have the most delicious ceasar salad dressing!  This is my version and it comes pretty darn close.  I switched it up and added cucumber and wrapped it in a sun-dried tomato tortilla. 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed or shredded (grilled chicken would be great!) 2…

If you are from New Jersey or New York you will love this recipe for "crumb buns".  We would get them every Sunday from the local bakery (now closed).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray 8 x 8 baking pan with nonstick spray.  Set aside.  In a medium bowl, sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a second bowl, whisk together egg, milk, canola oil and vanilla.  Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture.

Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.  In a medium bowl, combining remaining 2-1/2 cups flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pour melted butter over flour mixture and toss together until large crumbs form.  Sprinkle crumbs over batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Dust liberally with confectioner's sugar.  Cut into squares.
