I like to make biscuits to go with soups and salads, and this is definitely one of my favorite recipes for them. They’re so easy, with minimal ingredients. They go together in a flash, and the mayonnaise makes them extra moist and fluffy! ~ preheat oven to 375 degrees F. ~ 2 cups unbleached, all…
Here’s a little salad that I like to make as an addition to breakfast and brunch menus. It’s so delicious and fruity. A little tangy, a little crunchy with a hint of lemon. It’s pretty sweet, so it could even double as dessert! Don’t be tempted to add marshmallows to this salad. It doesn’t need…
Have you been busy doing your Christmas baking? I sure have. It’s been something rich and sweet almost every day. I’ve been giving treats away left and right so we’re not overtaken with sugar. Everything is sure yummy though! The few bites I’ve taken have been very good 🙂 I may treat myself to one…
Can I just tell you how GOOD this chicken turned out? It was a spontaneous recipe that was the result of pretty much just throwing together a dish consisting of what we already had in the refrigerator.

And then, to offset the sweetness, I add a sprinkling of crumbled goat…
Mmmmmm…. If you haven’t figured it out by now, my “secret ingredients” for amazing quick bread are cream cheese or vanilla pudding mix. Here’s another one to add to your list of favorites! ~ makes 2 loaves ~ preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 3/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature 8 oz. cream cheese,…
Everyone loves my Vanilla Pudding Pumpkin Bread so much, I decided to create a banana bread that features vanilla pudding too! We always have tons of bananas ripening on the kitchen counter, so any day is the perfect day to make banana bread. PS… This is wonderful served with butter, jam, or peanut butter for…
It’s been sunny and so perfectly “fallish” in the Mississippi River Valley this week. We’re still celebrating our 21st anniversary, and will be throughout the month. I thought this salad would be perfect for a romantic lunch on the front porch. Of course you can double or triple the recipe as needed to feed a…
Sometimes you just have to give in to the craving for real, down home, comfort food. This sort of food is almost never “health” food, but I do believe it’s good for the soul. Everyone has a favorite comfort food, and I think for me it’s either stew and homemade bread or anything swimming in…
