Everything I know about Mexican cooking, I learned from my ex-mother-in-law: homemade flour tortillas, salsa, Mexican rice, enchiladas, tostadas, guacamole – a real fiesta! She was a patient teacher, and I was a willing student.
Mouthwatering Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Last week, my daughter took her two younger boys and me to go strawberry picking. We landed at Spencer Farms in Noblesville, Indiana. These folks have grown strawberries and raspberries since 1982. They have lots of pie making produce in their farm store, fresh and frozen.
Healthy Thousand Island Dressing
This is one of my husband’s favorite dinners/lunches. Any grilled meat will be fabulous. Most likely, we make this salad from leftover grilled steak (I always grill an extra to have on hand for this exact purpose), or if we bring home a dogie bag from our favorite steakhouse. But, you could use grilled chicken or shrimp, too.
Our Trip to Zion National Park
Richard and I love the American West. The landscape is breathtaking and unforgettable. Within easy travel from Las Vegas is Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Hoover Dam, Zion and Bryce National Parks, and the Grand Canyon. Also in this little corner of Utah is a wealth of national monuments and state parks and recreation areas.
Refreshing Creamsicle Cake
Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate and other rich desserts as much as anyone. But after the holidays, Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day, my tastebuds need to be revitalized. I look for something lighter in a citrus-type dessert. This recipe for Refreshing Creamsicle Cake fits the bill. It’s pretty, too!
Shrimp & Scallop Stew with Israeli Couscous Pilaf
This is a perfect dish to serve during Lent. Actually, it’s great anytime, and should be added to your seafood repertoire. Shrimp and Scallop Stew is easy to make and quick. Pour it on top of Israeli Couscous Pilaf and serve with garlic bread along with a nice glass of white wine, or a beer would go perfectly, too. It’s a lovely change of pace.
Master Bedroom Quilt Inspiration
Command Central
You know how best laid plans quickly go astray? That’s what happened to me and my home decorating projects. A year after we moved in, I finally have my sewing/craft room in place. All the fabric neatly ironed and folded on my work top are those chosen for my Master Bedroom quilt.
Creamy Potato Cheese Soup
Comfort Food at its BEST!
Today’s post serves to address lots of issues. I’ve been lazy for the last several months, and everything has suffered: cooking, cleaning, blogging, photography, sewing – oh, the list goes on. I’m venting. (more…)
Yummy Banana Sheet Cake
The boys are becoming used to the idea of dessert when they have dinner with their Mimi. I mean, what are Mimi’s for if they can’t indulge their adorable grandchildren. Right? So not to disappoint, I whipped up this yummy banana sheet cake with a butter cream cheese frosting over the weekend. Everyone thought it was a big hit! Especially the frosting – a thick layer to satisfy anyone’s frosting craving.
Simple Quick S’more Bars
Such a simple and quick way to enjoy a summer treat. So loved are s’mores, it’s a favorite flavor of coffee, ice cream, breakfast cereal, oatmeal, coffee and coffee creamer, and even vodka. (Can’t understand the vodka thing – I’ll have to give it a try . . .) America has a love affair with s’mores. With this recipe, you can enjoy these tasty treats year ’round.
