Breakfast Muffin Cake

The weekend is a time for baking! My daughter, Raychel, tries to come home once a month from college, and when she does, it is all about making foods she can easily take back with her to store in her tiny dorm room freezer for later meals. This weekend she requested that I make a […]
Asian Dressing

The menu at my restaurant had numerous salads to choose from. One of the most popular was the Asian salad. It was a wonderful combination of mixed greens, mandarin oranges, crunchy chow mein noodles, almond, sesame seeds, and grilled chicken breast. But, the thing that set it apart from all the other Asian salads out […]
