This is my go-to recipe when someone asks me to bring an appetizer to a Christmas party. It’s fast, easy, delicious, and calls for minimal ingredients! Everyone loves it. Last night I made one with hot pepper jelly, and another with seedless raspberry jam (for the kiddos who don’t like spicy stuff.) Once again, it…

Looking for a unique Christmas cookie? Something a bit different? Here’s a little recipe I dreamed up that was inspired by my favorite truffle flavor… Chocolate lemon. It translated to shortbread-covered cookie kisses very well. These are amazing with a cup of coffee, milk, or tea! Feel free to substitute Hershey’s hugs for the kisses,…

Have you been busy doing your Christmas baking? I sure have. It’s been something rich and sweet almost every day. I’ve been giving treats away left and right so we’re not overtaken with sugar. Everything is sure yummy though! The few bites I’ve taken have been very good 🙂 I may treat myself to one…
My hubby made up a big batch of his famous Chicken Marsala a couple nights ago, and I decided to use up the leftovers for our lunch today and create a sandwich! Oh MY! Did it ever turn out great! If you don’t happen to have leftover Chicken Marsala in your fridge, have no fear.…
I have a few “go to” comfort food meals up my sleeve, but I have to say soups and stews that include big dumplings are at the top of my list. I always make up a big pot of turkey veggie soup using the leftover turkey bones/carcass from our Thanksgiving bird. It makes the BEST…

It’s delicious, and easy to prepare, everyone can make their “straw hat” exactly the way they want, and you get to enjoy your guests. To make this even easier I adapted my original recipe…
