I have a question for you… How do you feel about balls? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist and apparently I have the humorous mindset of a 10 year-old boy) I am talking about meatballs, people. Little succulent morsels of meaty heaven. I have to admit that while growing up meatballs held a firm place on the […]
Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe
If it were humanly possible to fall in love with a food item I would think I had found my soulmate and the greatest love of my life. Although, now that I think of it I have seen documentaries where people have fallen in love with their horses, goats and dogs so maybe I should […]

Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
Do you know that there was a point in time in my life that I would not eat chicken pot pie? Seriously. The mere idea of consuming a mish-mash of chicken and veggies cooked inside a pie crust gave me a case of the heebies. Why? Because I hated pie, thereby hating pie crust by […]

Taco Pasta Salad Recipe

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff Recipe
Alright, this blog entry kind of makes me laugh. I am no Julia Child. I’m not even close. I’m certainly not one to turn an ordinary recipe into a beautiful masterpiece!
