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 […]

Before you make this recipe for Molasses Ginger Cookies, you should know that you will need to chill the dough for at least 1 hour! I would hate for you to decide to make this for an office party the night before and not start it until late in the evening and then have to […]

1954 Chicken Florentine
I love taking old recipes and revising them for today. For instance, this 1954 Chicken Florentine recipe had a jigger as a measurement. I had to educate myself to edit this one, and I was extremely pleased with the results. The chicken turned out moist, and the sauce was perfect. I served this over some […]

Creamy Dijon Chicken
Inspired by a Tuscan Chicken recipe, this Creamy Dijon Chicken is one of my favorite recipe creations. The chicken is moist and full of flavor. The sauce has just the right hint of tang. I have always lived by the rule that I want the people that eat my food to find the perfect blend […]
