Saturday Morning Stuffed Strawberry Waffles
Many recipes are good, some are great and a precious few are epic. I put this recipe on the epic list for several reasons: it is out of this world good, it is easier to make than it looks and the fruit sauce alone is a recipe every cook should have as a secret weapon in the kitchen. The filling is a good recipe to … Continue reading Saturday Morning Stuffed Strawberry Waffles
Grandpa’s Peanut Brittle
January 26 is national peanut brittle day so it seemed timely to share this family recipe. According to my internet research peanut brittle first started showing up in American cook books in the early 1800’s, so this is about as old fashioned as it gets. Unlike many of those early recipes this one holds up. Peanut brittle is delicious. I’ve talked quite a bit about … Continue reading Grandpa’s Peanut Brittle
Instant Pot Creamy Chicken with Sun Dried Tomatoes
I have really enjoyed adapting recipes to my new pressure cooker. (If you don’t have one you can order the Pampered Chef quick cooker here) When you can go from frozen chicken to serving dinner in about 30 minutes it’s hard not to like. This recipe uses minimal ingredients that you hopefully already have around the house. A great option when you don’t have a lot of time, and it tastes like you spent hours making it.

Stress Free Italian Inspired Dinner Party
I am not Martha Stewart, and if you are reading this I’m guessing neither are you (Martha, if it is you, I love what you do but I don’t have the time, energy or budget to be you). For those of us lesser humans, the thought of throwing a dinner party can be stressful. I want a casual evening surrounded by great friends, good food … Continue reading Stress Free Italian Inspired Dinner Party
Mascarpone Budino with Marsala & Berries
The name is certainly impressive, and the flavor is amazing, but there is no actual cooking required for this recipe. An excellent dessert for any meal, or a nice snack for a summer party. If you are not familiar with mascarpone cheese, you are missing out. It is a soft, mildly sweet Italian cheese frequently used in pastries and desserts. **Note – you really need … Continue reading Mascarpone Budino with Marsala & Berries
Cold Pasta Salad
If you can boil water, you can make this cold pasta salad. It is incredibly flexible so you can adjust to include/omit ingredients based on your personal preferences or just what you have on hand. It holds well for several days in the fridge (I think it gets better) so you can make it well in advance. Ingredients 1 box (12-16oz) pasta. I like to … Continue reading Cold Pasta Salad
