These are light, airy cakes with blueberry filling and a lemony, white chocolate ganache glaze. The original recipes was made with raspberry, which would be just as good. I have a small ethnic store nearby and was able to find blueberry jam. You can substitute any filling for these little cakes. Cupcakes: 1 lemon 3/4…

Back in the day, there used to be a small Hot Dog drive-in called George’s that was just around the corner from the Elementary School I used to go to. It was a small place with tables outside. The buns were warm, the hot dogs were crispy and they had the best chili sauce! Walking…

This dish is sort of an Asian-fusion that I came up with. East meets The South! These ribs are cooked in a slow cooker and finished off on the grill. The ribs are sticky and sweet, the fresh peach salsa has a little kick, and the sesame jasmine rice pulls it all together. For the…

I’ve got to be honest. I am not a football fan. I don’t understand it, can’t follow it and usually have no clue who is in the Super Bowl. But….ask me to cook for the big game and I’m there!~ Everyone loves pizza for a party. These little pepperoni puffs make a great appetizer. They…

My son and his girlfriend frequent a small Thai restaurant nearby and have been trying to re-create Thai dishes at home. Not that simple if there is no Asian market nearby. My son prepared this dish for us recently. I barely did anything except go from market to market with him to try and find…

It goes together very quickly. For protein add tofu, chicken or pork. Vegetable Lo Mein 1/2 lb. Lo Mein Noodles or Linguini Sesame oil…

We are all very excited to have another chance to re-create some of Katie Workman’s recipes from The Mom 100 Cookbook for #SundaySupper! When I first got her book, the first thing I wanted to try was her One-Pot Arroz con Pollo. This is a great, filling meal with tender chicken and lots of great…

I love cauliflower, but I know not everyone would agree with me. Let’s face it – it’s bland. If I buy a jar of pickled Giardinera, I pick out all the cauliflower. This is a nice summer salad that can sit at room temperature for hours. This would also be good as part of an…
