Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs
Spring is here (FINALLY!) and now that Easter is over, you can put away the pastel colors, cheap chocolate, and large white bunnies. This is going to sound odd, but do you know what one of my favorite parts about Easter is? Eggs. I’m not talking about the boiling and dyeing and…
Carolina Cobb Salad
Well hello! For those of you who are noticing that this is the second salad recipe I have posted in a week, I would like to reply with, yes, I realize that too. And I will not apologize for it, dang it!! You can never have too many fresh, flavor-filled salads in…
Crustless Sun-Dried Tomato Quiche
I grew up with big breakfasts. My Dad always liked to make the works on the weekends and he was good at it. Fried potatoes with onions, a big platter of fried eggs, sausage patties, toast-everything a good breakfast purist would want. And you wouldn’t believe how perfect my Dad can make…
Breakfast Stackers
When I lived in San Diego, I used to meet up with my friend and fellow Navy wife, Karen, at this bar and grill. For the life of me, I can NOT remember the name of the place (I think it had something to do with panning for gold…) but the place…

Deviled Egg Pasta Salad
Every once in awhile, I serve something that everyone likes. And I mean everyone. I am usually a bit surprised by it and this time was no exception. People went wild for this pasta salad. I have served it twice, both times to a different crowd and WOW! What a hit! As…

Classic Deviled Eggs
I learned a lot of things from my parents. I learned how to sew, how to cook, how to check all the fluids in my car, and how to change a tire. My Mom taught me how to be a good public speaker and how to bake. My Dad taught me how…
Sweet Potato Hash
I made this for dinner last night and my husband was very upset with me. Not because we had Sweet Potato Hash for dinner, but because I was making it while he was on the treadmill. He came up from the basement, panting and sweaty, with a scowl on his face. “Are…
Creme Brulee: Showstopper
Creme Brûlée. A rich and creamy, lightly sweetened custard topped with toasted sugar so crunchy you have to ‘crack’ it to eat it. *sigh* If you have never eaten this, I have no words to describe it that would do it justice. If you have had it, you are swooning off your…
Steak Salad
It is no secret that I love the Farmer’s Market. The small town that I live in has a very small one once a week that while tiny, fulfills most of my market needs. Above all else, I love to support the local businesses and if I can, try and purchase something…
Fried Rice Scramble
Without really meaning to, I have been making some gradual changes to the weekly menus that I plan for my family. Over the last several months, in the interest of time, money, health, and wanting to use up those items exiled to the bottom corners of my chest freezer, I have been making two meals a…
