Snowballs
Last year during our “12 Cookies of Christmas” posts on the facebook group these were number 1. Every year for as long as I can remember these have made an appearance somewhere in my Christmas celebrations. When I was a kid they were usually on every cookie plate either given to our family or by …
Carrot Cake
Mmmm Carrot Cake! It’s late Friday night here and the gang just left. I can scarcely keep my eyes open but I wanted to get a carrot cake post up before going to bed… cuz… yum. :) I served this for dessert tonight and everyone enjoyed it. I hope you will as well. I got …
New Mexico Style Green Chile Stew
I’m from New Mexico… The Land of Enchantment. It really is an enchanting place. It’s both a desert and a mountain state. Driving across it is mesmerizing as miles and miles of wild desert stretch from the road to the horizon. It’s surrounded by mountains so the view in any direction is a regal one. …
Cheesy Ham and Spinach Hot Pockets
I made homemade hot pockets for dinner. They were delicious and oh so much better than the frozen, mass produced, preservative laden things for sale in the freezer isle. I just played with the filling in order to use up some leftover ham I had and to use some spinach that was looking a little …
Tiramisu Tart
Some people collect coins or stamps or little troll dolls (???) but not me; I collect Tiramisu type recipes. I collect them not because I particularly love the dessert. Truth be told, I could take it or leave it, I mean we’re not talking pumpkin pie here. The reason for a “Tiramisu section” in my …
Cherry Cheesecake Cookies
Last year we did a “12 Cookies of Christmas” cookie countdown and these delicious, eye catching beauties were number 5. These are so pretty that they just beg to be made at Christmas time and placed on the dessert buffet where they are sure to steal the show. Though they have a few more steps …
Best Chicken Pot Pie
When my brother and I were little kids and would go to the grocery store with Mom there were certain items she would ask us to get. ”Each of you go choose a cereal” she would say and off we go to the cereal isle. I always chose a traditional yummy cereal, a good all …
Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
It’s Fall! Oh how I love this time of year! I love everything about it! The weather is perfect, the trees are arrayed in jewel tones, the air is crisp and the smells coming from the kitchen… oh bliss! For those of you who know me, you are well aware that this time of year …
Kneaders Bakery Raspberry Bread Pudding
Here it is… at long last… the most awaited and eagerly anticipated recipe in the world (OK, in my little world anyway). The most stupendous, yummiest bread pudding you have ever tasted. Ta rum ta rum…. Raspberry Bread Pudding from Kneader’s Bakery. Now, I tend to shy away from using “The Best” in recipe descriptions …
Ham and Cheese Sliders
These are a hit around here. Everyone loves them, makes “yummy yum” sounds while they are eating them and helps themselves to seconds and thirds and even fourths! The best part of this sandwich (besides the taste) is the ease of preparation. Totally easy! They are assembled the night before and popped into the oven …
