great recipes made even better
Oh boy, where to even begin on this one. So, for years my husband had been wanting to make fresh pasta. And to me,that seemed silly. I thought, “That seems like excessive amounts of work for something you can easily buy at the store”. I can take or leave pasta – it’s never really …
If you love fruit and yogurt I can almost guarantee you will go crazy for this side item. Like the title claims, it is literally like fruit salad on crack – which I guess is a good thing? But this, I can assure you, IS GREAT. I recently made this for a friend of mine …
Old Bananas, Chocolate Chips, Pecans – that should be all I need to say to get you interested. You might end up hating me for this one. Why? Because, I just made 2 loafs and ate them all (mostly myself but hubby helped a little) in less than a week. The way I eat this …
Hubby and I are always on the lookout for quick and easy food and dessert (low-cal is just a bonus) ideas. Here’s one that we make many nights out of the week when you need a little something sweet but don’t necessarily want a bowl of ice cream. Let us know what you thought!
When you want a fast and easy meal that also tastes dynamite – this should be one of the first recipes you think of. It reminds me of Fazoli’s Twice Baked Ziti (which I’m not sure they have anymore – are there even Fazoli’s around anymore?) This is a perfect dish for a college student …

Velvety. That’s the word I would use to describe this if I had to sum it up in just one word. Given a few more I’d say buttery and rich are the other adjectives that could be used. Oh, and it’s just pretty freaking awesome. If you’ve ever had Panera’s Autumn Squash soup, this is …
This is such a great and easy thing to serve up for the holidays. It pairs so well with the rich, comfort meals and cold weather of November and December. To me, a Thanksgiving is incomplete without it. Add any other spices you love to this delicious mixture which doubles as a way to make …
I don’t know why I am surprised every time I make this that it tastes as good as it does. I guess it’s because it’s pretty easy to put together, so it’s almost like the math doesn’t add up on how it is so packed with massive flavor. And you know what, there are some …
As the weather gets colder, the warm, comforting, hearty soups start to rise in popularity. This is one of those that should be added to your routine, in whichever way you prefer to change it up. There are so many ways that other people have changed this soup, but in every one of them the …
