In honor of my last blog, I thought I should share a really good chicken breast recipe. I love stuffed chicken breasts because they really are simple to make but still have a rich taste. The other thing I like about a stuffed chicken breast is it is exactly what the name implies, a stuffed …

The Picky Eater Part 2…The Evolution
I discovered, as I got older, if I did the cooking, I could control the content of what was being placed in front of me at mealtimes. The added bonus was that my mom, who was a good cook, didn’t really like to cook. She did like to clean up. So our deal was whoever …
Grandma’s Manicotti
Even though I was a picky eater as a child, there was one meal that always got me to clean my plate….Grandma’s Manicotti. It usually graced the table during the holidays or special birthdays.

Being that this whole blog thing is still new to me, I feel that I am still trying to figure things out to make it perfect. With that said, I should have posted the recipe for the artichoke/spinach dip. I came up with this recipe last year during the Superbowl when my husband, Earl, asked …
Super Bowl Leftovers
When I made the decision to start a blog, I had all of these grand food thoughts in my head. I was going to talk about rich sauces, new ingredients and creative new recipes. I never thought my first post would be about my Superbowl leftovers. As I always tend to do, I made way …
