Kung Pao chicken is probably the one dish I order most often from our local Chinese restaurant. I kept seeing this recipe on Pinterest and finally had to try it and I'm so glad I did! It was really good and super spicy. I used a bottled Kung Pao sauce, but next time I want to make… Continue reading Kung Pao Chickpeas

I'm excited to once again participate in a blog tour featuring Debbie Matenopoulos' cookbook It's All Greek to Me. It was another opportunity to pick an authentic recipe and I chose Dakos, otherwise known as Greek Brushetta. This salad is served on top of hard bread, not slices like I've had before. It's simple and so delicious. Even… Continue reading It’s All Greek to Me Anniversary Blog Tour – Featuring Dakos
This year was the first time I've hosted Easter and I have to say it was a success! I broke tradition and made a couple new side dishes and a delicious ham with a Riesling-peach mango glaze. As I'm hosting more family dinners, I'm finding that my entertaining supplies are limited....I don't have salt and… Continue reading Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Tart

I haven't made scones in a couple of months and while looking through my latest Eating Well magazine, I came across a master recipe for scones that is perfect for sweet or savory versions. I liked this recipe because it uses a combination of all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour. The scones were really… Continue reading Smoked Salmon and Dill Scones
It's time to Fill the Cookie Jar! The theme of this month's challenge was cookies that remind you of spring or Easter. I decided to go with Maple Syrup Bars.

As I continue to try to eliminate processed food from our diets, I've been on a mission to replace the bag of chicken nuggets in our freezer. Granted they're a quick dinner for my kids when we're short on time or my little guy is refusing any meal, but I finally found a replacement! These… Continue reading Crispy Baked Chicken Nuggets
