  • Valentines Banana Caramel Cream Dessert

    Valentines Banana Caramel Cream Dessert

    A few weeks ago I was laying in bed late at night, dreaming up the creation I have for you today.  Mind you, it’s nothing all that ground breaking… but it sure is delicious!  A layer of rich pastry cream, fresh bananas, whipped cream, caramel sauce, and a graham cracker crust.  Each element is pretty tasty on it’s own,…

  • Valentines Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse

    Valentines Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse

    Today’s recipe is pretty, pink, and delicious!  If you like cheesecake (even a little), you are likely going to love this!  This Valentines Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse is light and fluffy, sweet (but not overwhelming), and has a deliciously light cream cheese flavor. Contrary to other recipes I am adding fresh fruit puree to the mixture, (instead of…

  • Maple Cinnamon Pancakes

    Maple Cinnamon Pancakes

    Pancakes are one of my favorite comfort breakfast foods and what two flavors represent the holiday season better than maple and cinnamon (and pumpkin, of course)?  This recipe is high in protein and kept me full for hours.  When you have a little extra time one morning (ha ha), treat yourself and your family to this healthful version of…

  • Mini Veggie Frittata

    Mini Veggie Frittata

    I have had several requests for breakfast ideas lately, so I will do my best to fulfill those requests.  For those of you who like eggs, this is a simple protein-packed breakfast.  You can change the veggies to anything you wish, I used what I happened to have in my fridge.  Because of the high protein and…

  • Classic Creme Brulee

    Classic Creme Brulee

    Crème Brûlée is one of those classic French dessert recipes that chefs seem to insist on “enhancing”: adding bits of fruit, nuts or – worse still – oatmeal! I suppose their reasoning is that nobody could possibly be interested in such a simple dessert in these complex foodie days. Well, they are wrong. Crème Brûlée is…

    Cinnamon Pumpkin, Squash,Cheddar Pot Pie

    Traditions are a big part of the winter season for many people, but if you find yourself doing something strictly out of tradition and not because you particularly enjoy it, then it’s time for a new tradition. Or maybe, just time for a new recipe.   Ingredients:   For the pumpkin mixture: 2 cups canned…

  • EDIBLE GIFTS

    EDIBLE GIFTS

    This recipe is so easy it almost can’t be called a recipe, but your lucky recipients don’t have to know that. It’s also completely customizable: use whichever peppers you prefer (or whichever are easiest to get your hands on). Last year, I used a combination of green jalapeños and habaneros; the result was tangy, herbaceous,…
