  • Yummy Potato Casserole

    This is not your traditional tater casserole.  Nothing healthy about it, but with Easter approaching, I wanted to share as it would be a delicious addition to your meal. Keep in mind that this casserole may use shredded frozen potatoes and cheddar cheese, but you use HEAVY CREAM – nope, no canned soup in this Continue reading

  • A New Twist on Spaghetti (with yard bird)

    You might wonder what yard bird is — at my house, that is what chicken is referred to by the hub.  We still eat it but probably not as much as I would like.  However, this little invention is pretty amazing.  Again, with most of my chicken recipes you can boil the chicken and use Continue reading

  • An EASY, yet fancy dessert!

    I LOVE creme brulee — actually, I love custard-type desserts.  I don’t make them often, but dinner at a friend’s house called for a little yummo action. I wanted to share this super easy recipe, because it’s not at all complicated, and many of them are.  Vanilla beans – pish, posh — real vanilla (mine’s Continue reading

  • A cool salad idea

    We recently spent 10 days in heaven (well, Mexico to be exact — Cozumel) and while there, were served a Caesar salad in a very unique way.  I took a pic: Super simple – basically they took a slice of cucumber and removed most of the inside, creating enough room for romaine leaf lettuce.  Add Continue reading

  • How can you beat PIZZA, for breakfast???

    To answer my question, not sure you can.  I recently whipped this up for friends, and it was delicious and oh, so easy.  Start with a THIN (that’s what I prefer) ready-made crust from your local grocery store and add the toppings that your crew likes: The mimosa was a nice addition, and the kids Continue reading

  • Yummy Detox Cabbage Soup

    Yep, I bet that got you guys (males) attention — probably only if you’re thinking “I’ll NEVER eat that.”  Well, if you like veggies, you might give it a whirl.  There are recipes a million on the web for this type of soup, but I love it on a cold day, and it’s super good Continue reading

  • Easy Cheese Ball

    A quick post as I’m cheering on the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!!!!  Made this cheese ball last night and wanted to share.  It’s easy, quick and delicious.  And, it’s made with ingredients that  you typically have on hand.  Hope you enjoy as we do, and I’ll hopefully be making it for a post-season Chiefs game!!! ~Connie Continue reading

  • Homemade Noodles

    Just in time for the holidays!  My kids grew up loving homemade chicken and noodles at grandmas.  Well, it’s time for the grown up kids to make them on their own 🙂   So, here’s a pretty close version of what Grandma Pat used to make.  Brandi and Courtney – here ya go.  I’ll give Continue reading

  • Pecan Brittle anyone???

    I’m not a fan of peanut butter.  I am sure this sounds un-American but it’s the way it is.  I can go as far as a little mini Butterfinger but that’s where I draw the line. Today a co-worker brought Pecan Brittle — what a brilliant invention.  I don’t own a candy thermometer, but I’m Continue reading

  • Shots anyone???

    Nothing like a little “elegant” shot to get the night started as you host or attend holiday parties.   Right?  I was searching for something for a pre-holiday dinner shot (or after…whatever works) and a friend suggested Brass Ball Shots.  Not sure how the name was going to match up with the taste, but I Continue reading

    Shots anyone???
