Butter Cookies
One of the things that I love about these Butter Cookies is they can be the base for just about any cookie I can think of. This time I made Coconut Butter Cookies, but I am REALLY looking forward to making them into several varieties. I decided to try tweaking them into a coconut butter […]

Starbucks Lemon Loaf Dupe
Check out this Starbucks Lemon Loaf Dupe! So, it is not often that I “copycat” a recipe, but when my daughter challenged me to make something like the Starbucks Lemon Loaf but with a cake mix… I was intrigued. I took a Duncan Hines yellow cake mix and let my mind wander… of course, I […]

White Chocolate Lemon Streusel
Sometimes I run across a recipe that is a little hard to follow. These white chocolate lemon streusel bars are worth the effort, but you have to follow the directions, or you will get lost! I located this recipe in one of my recipe card books that I grabbed off the rack for years. You […]

Boston Cream Cupcakes
These Boston Cream Cupcakes are amazing. A light, airy cupcake with a delicious filling and then topped with an easy chocolate ganache (made with toll house chips). They were a big hit at a recent party at my house. One of the things that I like about these Boston Cream Cupcakes is that they are […]

Butter Pound Cake Mini
One of the things that I have realized is that no matter how hard you try to stop it, life still changes. Time goes by, and in the blink of an eye, you wake up one morning and head to the kitchen only to be faced with cooking for two. I really don’t mean to […]

Chicken and Broccoli Lo Mein
I just love this Chicken and Brocolli Lo Mein Recipe. It has so much flavor and is so easy to make. I have updated the recipe so that it has more sauce because my family likes things a little saucy. I was also so glad that I have finally found a really good boxed lo […]

Pecan Cinnamon Sour Cream Pound Cake
Every once in a while, I make something that really hits the spot. This Pecan Cinnamon Sour Cream Pound Cake was one of those times. I layered this into a Bundt pan and topped it with a sugar glaze to make the perfect slice of cake to accompany a great cup of my favorite Coffee […]

King Ranch Pasta
We have probably all heard of King Ranch Casserole. At my restaurant, I use to take leftover chicken tortilla soup and turn it into King Ranch for lunch specials. What I never did was turn it into this King Ranch Pasta. The other day I really wanted to come up with something new and comforting. […]

Easy Lasagna Casserole
Have you ever gotten a call that some company is coming and you just don’t know what to make? This easy lasagna casserole came to my rescue the other night! I adapted it from a 1954 cookbook and love the way it turned out. It is easy to make and takes the place of something […]
