Lentil Soup with Spicy Italian Sausage
December 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I was looking for a soup recipe with two goals in mind. Healthy, with an abundant of rich flavors. Lentil soup with spicy italian sausage was so satisfying, just on it’s own, with warmed ciabatta. The carrots, parsnips, celery, and spinach Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah!!! Crab season has started, a recipe from the archives. LooLoo
During crab season this is a must for entertaining. It’s fun, it’s easy, it’s fast and everybody loves it. I like to serve this succelent crab dish with a big green salad, and crusty french bread (dipping the bread in the sauce is a must). It’s so good!! Read the rest of this entry »
Cranberry Salad

This year we hosted thanksgiving dinner in our home and it was a potluck. We were in charge of the entree’s (the turkey and my husband’s out of this world beef stroganoff). Everyone brought a side dish, it was all wonderful, it was all so good! I found this recipe for a cranberry jello mold and decided to try it. When was the last time you made a jello mold? It’s so passee huh? Well, I thought it would be fun to go outside of the box and do something different, plus it just seemed to be a perfect compliment to the rest of the day’s lavish offerings.

November 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
During the holidays it’s fun to share different types of goodies with your friends and family. I found this fabulous recipe for sweet and savory spiced nuts from my monthly Gourmet magazine, everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. In fact they were so good that my mother asked if I wouldn’t mind making her a batch for a luncheon that she’s hosting, (and of course it is my absolute pleasure). These golden walnuts and pecans took very little time to prepare, and can be made up to a week in advance. Nuts can also be a very healthy appetizer that is ideal during the Read the rest of this entry »

A co-worker of mine, “Sweet” Georgia Brown shared with me her recipe for beef stew that was fabulous! During these winter months there’s nothing better than a big bowl of beef stew with crusty french bread! We loved Georgia’s beef stew so much that we decided to have it again the following week, however I decided to change it up and make my own Read the rest of this entry »
Lemon Angel Pie
November 10, 2009 | No Comments »
Although neither pie nor pudding, this dessert looks like a rich cream pie, which I believe is why it is called “Angel Pie”! My mother made this scrumptious pie for my husbands birthday (he loves lemon and meringue). I really liked it because even though it was pretty sweet, it was also pretty light. The crust is not your typical pastry dough crust, but a meringue crust. Read the rest of this entry »

Cauliflower with Fennel-Cheese Soup
October 25, 2009 | Comments Off
My neighbor Betty made this fabulous cauliflower soup last week, shared it with me, and it was so tasty I decided to make my own version. The prep time was about 45 minutes, then on the stove, about another hour and a half. For my potatoes I used large yukon golds, and a 32oz. container of vegetable stock for my liquid. To finely chop Read the rest of this entry »
