Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I love pasta ... my family, not so much. As we continue eating at home, I was looking for recipe to use a block of sweet Italian sausage I had for awhile in the freezer.

My kids snack all day long. Do yours? I'm not finding I'm snacking too ... which is not great for trying to not gain weight right now. I'm on the hunt for new recipes for snacks that are healthier and will keep them full longer. I swear they have about 15 snacks before lunch every… Continue reading Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread
Berry season is almost here and I got a jump start with this simple and delicious crumble recipe. I had stocked up when I was at Costco the other week and bought strawberries, blueberries and raspberries - all of my kids favorite fruits. They ate a good amount of them, but I had some that… Continue reading Triple Berry Crumble
Last week it was feeling more like late winter here in PA, so this soup was the perfect thing to make! The weather has been crazy here - it was even snowing yesterday.

I'm back to baking more delicious treats! I whipped these up on Saturday morning while I was enjoying a cup of coffee.

Our daughter turned 13 in March and we decided we… Continue reading Lemon Poppy Seed Squares
I've been doing more quarantine baking and by far, these muffins are my most favorite thing to far. They are delicious ... though not great for my waistline.

I used to avoid making bread with yeast. I love it but don't make it near as often as I would like. With some extra time on my hands, I decided to make a loaf over the weekend. There's nothing like the smell of yeast blooming and knowing you're going to creating something delicious with… Continue reading Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Just because we're stuck at home doesn't mean we need to eat boring dinners. Chicken and beef had been quite scarce in the past couple weeks, so when I saw a bag of uncooked frozen shrimp, I knew I could figure out something to make with it. After looking through my pantry, I was saw… Continue reading Creamy Cajun Shrimp Pasta
I had some leftover heavy cream and my go-to way to use it up is to make scones. I also had a lemon and thought it would be perfect to whip up a batch of glazed lemon scones. It's been a bit of challenge to use up everything I have in my house before going… Continue reading Glazed Lemon Scones
