Fresh Spinach and Sausage Pasta Toss

Fresh Spinach and Sausage Pasta Toss

Last Sunday evening, I went to the store hungry.  I had spent most of the day working on last week’s post Peanut Butter S’mores Dip and my people were ready for some relatively healthy food for dinner.  Sausage stuffed with tomato, basil, and  mozzarella to the rescue! Normally my weekly food shopping includes a trip to our […]

Peanut Butter S'mores Dip

Peanut Butter S’mores Dip

S’mores are as delicious as they are messy.  And my husband likes his s’mores with peanut butter smeared on one of the graham crackers. Now that is a mess.   At his suggestion, I added peanut butter to a s’mores dip recipe that was glorious in its own right.  He simply cannot resist the combination of melty […]

Scooby’s Organic Stew for Dogs

Yes, I cook for my dogs.   It started when one of our dogs got sick and wasn’t interested in eating unless it was the good stuff but once you let that “Mommy’s cooking chicken for you” genie out of the bottle, there is NO way it is going back in. (The picture to the right […]

Easy Game Day Guacamole

Easy Game Day Guacamole

Guacamole is one of the single most delicious foods made out of vegetables.  I do like lots of vegetables but, in my humble opinion, the avocado is among the most spectacular.  With a little bit of lemon, cilantro, onion and jalapeno you can turn that avocado into a glorious dip.   And since you can make it a […]

Happy Camper Cobbler is one of the easiest and tastiest dishes that I cook when we are camping. It has literally had people running from nearby campsites for a serving of its hot-from-the-oven bubbly and sweet goodness.  Nobody expects a homemade dessert on a camping trip and whether you have a camper with an oven, […]

S’mores Brownie Bites with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

I love s’mores.  A lot.  S’mores, however, are nearly impossible to serve and enjoy with any amount of dignity…. until now.  These brownie bites are not only absolutely adorable but they are a perfect portion of decadence.  One brownie bite will give you a “just enough” helping of that perfect combination of graham crackers, chocolate […]
