My Mom’s Classic Chili

October 30, 2009

My mom will insist until she is blue in the face that she doesn’t like to cook. While that may be true, it is unfortunate, because some of my favorite recipes (like this lasagna) come from her. Growing up my mom always had dinner on the table for our family – a homemade dinner. This [...]

Coconut and Cashew Granola

October 28, 2009

I’m sad to report that ever since I posted about these fabulous granolas, I haven’t made granola since. I blame it all on my dad.

They really are [...]

I love the recipe but since I can’t leave well enough alone, I’ve been tweaking it here and there to suit my fickle nature. It’s finally perfected. This is some phenomenal sauce. It satisfies every [...]

Strawberry Cream Puff Cake

October 19, 2009

My Aunt Marilyn recently sent this recipe to me and I made it while my parents were out here visiting last week. It was a hands-down hit and I’ve promised not to reveal the names of all the household members who snuck over to the counter for another snitch. The base of the cake, baked [...]
