Ricotta Cookies are so good!!! One bite of these and you go, mmmm! They are a much sweeter cookie in comparison to the egg biscuits they resemble. The ricotta cheese gives it a soft texture. This is a favorite cookie of mine. I love the texture and the strong vanilla in them. I make them every Christmas. See more pictures in the slideshow…
I have played around with quiches and experimented a lot! I don’t like them too airy or too stiff or too dry. I want them soft, but firm enough to make a nice cut. This comes out perfectly every time, any way. Typically asparagus is paired with swiss cheese in quiches. Use whatever cheese you like! I am partial to cheddar so I use…
The combination of chicken salad and a thin apple slice makes a great tea sandwich or a even just a regular sandwich! Pepperidge Farm bread is a good choice because the slices are thin and sturdy, and they have enough width to cut out two shapes from one slice. You can make these ahead of time the night before or the same day you serve…
An oldie but goodie recipe and this is a very good one! It is VERY EASY and NO PAN TO SCRUB! I love this recipe! There are MANY foil packet recipes because they are are so easy to prepare and come out so good! Use this simple technique of wrapping a meal in foil for any meat or vegetables you would like. The envelope…
These fudgy delicious macaroons get rave reviews from so many people when I make them! They actually have no flour in them! Be careful with the bake time, there is a wide variance in the time. Macaroons are a delicate cookie and they don’t harden much while in the oven but they harden more after they come out of the oven. Every…
Bill’s Meatloaf has salsa in it! And Vegetable juice! This is one of the few things my husband makes….and it is yummy!! I love this meatloaf! He came up with this recipe on his own years ago. It is so tasty and moist, it needs NO gravy! This is cooked in the microwave so it cooks fast. The custard cup placed upside down in…
This is an oldie but goodie recipe! My Aunt Gloria used to make this often and I loved it. No mixer needed! It is all made by hand! You can swap the shortening for butter if you want. To me, this is the best, moist cranberry bread recipe! And, it cuts into nice, clean slices! Enjoy!
Cornish Pasties! The real deal! I first tasted a pastie in a little tiny shop in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England and I got hooked on them! I cannot say enough about how delicious they are! They are made with all different combinations of meats and vegetables. I wish you could get one in as many U.S. shops like you can in England! It seemed like pasty shops…
This is my version of my mom’s spinach pies. I added sugar and eliminated oil. Sometimes my mom would add sliced black olives. That is good too! I like Italian Spinach Pie this way because of the touch of sweetness from the little bit of sugar in the filling and the raisins. She put a little oil in the filling, but I eliminate it…
I love Golumpkies! This is my version which is based on the way my mother made these cabbage rolls, or “Golumpkies”, which is pronounced many different ways! She served them with ketchup on the side. I changed it a little bit and added ketchup inside the filling as well. Some people serve them with tomato sauce. My dear Polish friend Anna taught me…
Wienerschnitzel is my first choice when I go to a German restaurant! I love veal! Any way! Many people think Wienerschnitzel is a German dish, but it really originated in Austria. “Wiener” is Viennese for Vienna, Austria. Typically it is served with a slice of lemon, sautéed apples, potatoes of some kind, like buttered potatoes with parsley or warm or cold potato salad and…
If you like white chocolate, try Opera Fudge! Typically Opera Fudge has just candied red cherries in it. I added walnuts which you can leave out if you prefer. Yes, I serve Opera Fudge on an Opera Plate! That plate is a scene from Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly”. This fudge is worthy of its name. It is exquisite! Like opera is! Enjoy!”
Homemade pizza with crumbled ground beef…. delicious! This is with a homemade dough, but you can use store-bought dough to make it easier. Enjoy!
Chicken Cacciatore is a great dish to make! It is chicken and vegetables merged in a tomato sauce with your favorite pasta. It is so-o GOOD! We have this often! It is LOW-CALORIE too! Use whatever vegetables you like or have on hand. Use any pasta you like! Enjoy!
A chocolate, hazelnut, and lightly spiced variation of the Traditional Christmas Linzer cookie. Delicious and pretty!
