Cassoulet with Chicken, Pork and Sausage

  This dish is screaming good!  The flavors are so deep, delicious and rich.  It is a one dish meal you should definitely make for your next large gathering! This does make enough for about 20 healthy servings.  Just halve all of the ingredients to bring it down to a more reasonable amount of servings. [...]

Roasted Butternut Squash, Corn and Spinach Enchiladas

Oh my gosh!  These enchiladas were so dang good!  I loved the velvety smoothness of the butternut squash paired with the creamy Gruyere cheese.  To give this enchilada a little bit more “chunk” appeal I added roasted corn, sauteed spinach and roasted yams.  This dish is nothing short of spectacular and loaded with tons of [...]

Hot Corn Dip Served with Tortilla Chips

I first met this highly addictive dip in 2002, January I believe.  My dear friend, Karen, brought it to my house to enjoy while we watched the Super Bowl commercials (I’m not a sports fan….sorry).  I haven’t been the same since.  I dream about it, I make new recipes around it (yes, this is the [...]

Here’s a great, easy weeknight dinner that comes together very quickly. You can pair this dish with Jasmine rice or brown rice for a little healthier version.  Let’s get started. I lost a few photos of this dish along the way.  But I have to tell you why. Maybe it is because I might be [...]

Double-Cherry and Almond Streusel Bars

I really love making bar cookies.  With just a little effort you get a large return. I’m also a little obsessed with almond paste right now, too.  I just love the flavor. The original recipe uses coconut in the streusel, but since cherry and almonds have a natural affinity towards each other, I thought I [...]

Steak Stroganoff

This is one dinner you absolutely, positively have to try.  My husband and son couldn’t get enough of this delicious little dish. It also comes together quite quickly, making for an easy and impressive week night meal. My only regret here is the cut of meat.  By nature rib-eye steaks are pretty fatty.  To make [...]

I think I’m living in Hell’s Kitchen

As you know, I can’t just post any old recipe, they have to be D*E*L*I*C*I*O*U*S! So, back to the drawing board, and grocery store I [...]
