For many decades, Cherry Cream Cheese Pie has been a favorite no-bake recipe! It first appeared in the1960’s as Borden’s Cherry-O Cream Cheese Pie. It became extremely popular and has been ever since! But to me, my mother-in-law Ruth’s little addition to it is the best! Her little change puts it above all the rest! I don’t see it done her way anywhere! She adds…
This soup has split peas in it, but it is not thick; it has a thin broth! With the smoked sausage, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, the seasoning amount has some heat, but not a lot. Start with the 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Increase it to 1/2 teaspoon if you want more kick. If you don’t like heat at all, just…
Based on Betty Crocker’s new popular cake in a pie pan, this is definitely a keeper recipe! It got rave reviews so I gave it a try. Wow, everyone here loved it! It is really so delicious! It’s made with simple ingredients you probably already have. What makes this so good? Maybe it’s the sour cream in the cake or because it is baked in…
Artichokes! Either you love them or you hate them! I love them! I like them both Stuffed or Unstuffed, but more often I make them unstuffed so I don’t get so full from the stuffing and can have more leaves! I love the leaves as much as the heart! Here are two recipes, one for the Unstuffed and one for the Stuffed version. I have…
Banana Muffins are so good, and this lower version is great, it is delicious! Considering a regular banana muffin starts at about 350 calories and can be much more, one of these muffins is 204 calories, 4 WW Smart Points, and has much lower fat. I do not miss the full-fat version at all! EASY TO MAKE! NO MIXER NEEDED! Mix everything by hand in…
Muffins can be a high calorie item, but these Weight Watcher Cranberry muffins are just 4 smart WW smart points, or 136 calories! That is a big difference from standard muffin recipes. A plain muffin is about 340 calories! When you want a muffin, but not the high calories, try making these! They are delicious! I love them! They are EASY and FAST to make;…
Some huge Chik-fil-A fans I happen to know told me this recipe is not only just like it, but it is even better! They are delicious! There is an UNUSUAL MARINADE of milk mixed with pickle juice, believe it or not! Now don’t think “yuck” like I did! Ha-ha! It will give it that distinct flavor! You put the marinade in a Zip Lock bag…
A REAL TREAT FOR A CHEAT! It is a soft-centered brownie pie that is firm enough on the outside rim to make nice neat wedges when you cut it. I don’t like pies that make a mess when you cut them, so this one I like. Use 4 ounces of your favorite chocolate bar! If you want to be extra decadent go ahead and serve…
This Zucchini Chocolate Chip Snack Cake tastes delicious! A pick-up cake; no need for a fork! You really don’t need frosting either, but if you want to add one, go ahead! I like it both ways! You will taste just a small hint of spices! There is ground cinnamon and cloves in it. The buttermilk and zucchini make it nice and moist! It is a…
NO COOKING THIS FUDGE, NO THERMOMETER either! This is SUPER FAST and the EASIEST fudge I have ever made. You will see this popular recipe with slight variations everywhere! I have several fudge recipes I love, but they can be tricky to prevent a grainy texture and they have to be made just right! All candy making has to be very precise! Well, I was…
This almond candy is the ultimate Christmastime candy in my house! I can just hear my oldest son’s voice when he sees it… You made Almond Candy!! In Italian it is called Croccante, and it is a special candy to make for the holidays. I always shape it into a wreath. This particular recipe was hard to come by for years! It is one of…

Sure, you can make your own pastry dough and filling from scratch! Sure you can make hand pies or turnovers, or mini pie cups! This way is a time-saver when you are short on time! NO need…
/ Have you tried this hugely popular recipe yet? Chef Gordon Ramsey’s masterful on/off technique is the key to getting soft, fluffly scrambled eggs with delicious flavor! Over 50 to 60 million people have raved about it! Looking at them, you might think these are undercooked; they are not! Because of the calories, we don’t eat them all time this way, but when you feel…
From allrecipes.com, I finally tried their Downeast Pumpkin Bread, and no wonder it got over 7K likes! It is the best pumpkin bread I ever tried. I love the pumpkin flavor and I love the clean cuts it makes. It is not crumbly at all. I know that butter is tasty in breads, but using oil makes them more moist. I usually like raisins or…
A delicious, healthy soup based on Food Network’s recipe by Rachel Ray for Chourico and Kale Soup. It does not take long to make and the technique is the same. I substituted spinach for the kale and kielbasa for the chourico. Kielbasa in soups is usually pared with cabbage. This was a nice change to have kielbasa with spinach and beans instead of cabbage. It…
