Bread Pudding

Having a restaurant that served sandwiches meant I ordered and used a lot of bread. This bread pudding recipe is something that I made pretty often from leftover bread. Since I no longer own the restaurant, I will use a loaf of French bread that I have let get a little stale. I made the […]
Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sometimes I want to try something new. These Sweet and Sour Meatballs fit that bill perfectly. They are easy to make and not your normal meatball. Instead of serving these over pasta, you serve them over minute rice. The family thought they were great! I have made them several more times and have not been […]
Spaghetti Carbonara

The neatest thing happened the other day when I was in Austin. The first thing is that my daughter bought her first new car from Charles Maund Toyota. The second thing is that the person that sold it to her is a fellow foodie. Anthony is a great sales guy, but apparently, he is also […]
Basic Lemon Butter Sauce

I love good sauce! Sometimes all it takes to make a basic meal into a marvelous meal is a sauce. This Basic Lemon Butter Sauce is one of my favorites. It is so simple to make. I make this sauce and serve it over fish, chicken, and even steak. In this picture, notice that I […]

The story behind this little recipe for Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies comes from my youngest son. He was challenged to make some cookies for a cookie competition and found a recipe from somewhere else to follow because […]
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 […]
Butter Pecan Tea Cakes

How about some Butter Pecan Tea Cakes! So, what makes a cookie a cookie and a tea cake… a tea cake? That all depends on where you live! According to Google and Wikipedia, “A teacake in England is generally a light yeast-based sweet bun containing dried fruit, typically served toasted and buttered.[1] In the U.S., teacakes can be cookies or small cakes.

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 […]
