Over 50 to 60 million people have raved about it! Looking at them, you might think these are undercooked; they are not!

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…
This is the Lemon Meringue Pie recipe that I use and love! It is not overly sweet. To me, it is just right! lt sure beats using a lemon pudding mix in a box. It tastes SO much better than a bakery lemon meringue pie too. I will admit, it does take time to make from scratch with fresh lemons, but the steps are straightforward…

I don’t know, but maybe it is the white vinegar that makes these so fluffy and delicious! I do tell everyone who has eaten them, that the white vinegar is the secret ingredient! The batter is…
This is a mini version of the famous Classic Betty Crocker Carrot Cake. To me, it is the best carrot cake recipe, and I have tried many! Baked in a 7-inch small bundt pan, it will give you 8 generous size pieces. You can also make it in an 8 or 9-inch square or round cake pan which will give you a few more pieces….
This icing recipe is a perfect ratio of corn syrup to confectioner’s sugar that works beautifully! It is somewhat similar to Royal Icing but it has NO meringue powder and NO Egg whites! The CORN SYRUP hardens it to a shiny, pretty surface, but it doesn’t make it super hard. WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME: You can STACK the cookies or pastries without them…
Making BEEF STEW in a PRESSURE COOKER has always been the best method for me, even beating out my beloved crock pot! The meat comes out so very tender and soft yet it does not shred! I’ve made it this way for years in a pressure cooker. I love that it only takes just 11 minutes of pressure cooker time! The dumplings take longer…

Forget using chicken stock with seafood bisques or soups! Use FISH STOCK! Boil the shrimp and lobster together and use that liquid for your bisque. It definitely makes a world of a difference in my opinion! And this bisque is not hard to make at all! You can use this with any fish or combination of fish you like, as long as one of your…
A moist, triple chocolate zucchini muffin that gets the “YUM” approval from my chocoholic husband! You really cannot taste the zucchini in them but it helps to make the muffins moist! Bill’s suggestion for my trial tweaks with this was to add more chocolate chips, which I did. The espresso powder in the batter is my tweak. It just enhances the chocolate. If you don’t…
