    I had no idea a pizza cooked on the grill would be so incredibly…….well FAST…..but super delicious! I mean super delicious! If you have not had the chance to grill a pizza out in the open, well promise me this is the summer you change all that. With a tiny bit of planning, some home-made…

  • My favorite Frittata- herby, cheesy, asparagus & tomato!

Here is the perfect answer to that kind of comfort food. It’s healthy, delicious and takes hardly any time to put…

  • Quinoa & Veggie stuffed bell peppers

    I have been experimenting with my bell pepper stuffing recipes, and I think I found something worthy of sharing. Red and orange bell peppers are so sweet and delicious and thought a suitable veggie and cheese combination would be really tasty. My first attempts were not very pretty or edible without falling apart. You’d need…

  • Brownies never had it so good!!

    I have a horrible weakness for brownies with lots of nuts and coffee ice cream. It’s why I never make brownies because it’s just too painful to pass it up!! But there you have it, a rainy day with friends coming over and I had to “bring on” the chocolate! So, you all know that…

  • Pear Cake for someone special!

    May is quickly becoming the Bundt Month for me! But I have to tell you this is quickly becoming my favorite Bundt so far. This is really easy to throw together and your slightly bruised pears for the gorgeous pie or cheese plate that you can’t use them for is perfect for this dish. No…

    This sounded really, really good and healthy. Plus, since I have never tried a recipe from Weight Watchers I thought it might be fun. Ridiculously easy….literally ridiculous!

  • Sweet, Moist Almond Cake for friends……..yum!

    Whomever invented almond paste I will be forever indebted to. Forever. Love the stuff. Just think it is the best thing since sliced bread. I try to stay away from it as much as possible, but I don’t or rather can’t resist a superb almond croissant!! That being said, this recipe was on my list…

  • Crystalized Ginger for tea and other amazing dishes……

    I have a favorite dish at Thanksgiving that calls for crystalized ginger.  It’s a bit pricey, and I began to ponder how to make such an item. I googled and found this from Alton Brown. (Ya gotta love that guy)  It sounded really easy so I gave it a shot. Yep, it was easy and…

  • Sour Cream Coffee Cake…with walnut and apple filling!

    The great gals at Tastespotting are having a sour cream recipe day so this is what I wanted to throw in the ring. I found this on ….Tastespotting of course, but made a few adjustments. I thought the apple would be a sweet addition and I had one in the house I wanted to bake…

    Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are one of my favorite indulgences. This week I had to have some but didn’t want to buy candy and knew there were plenty of these kinds of cookie recipes on the web. I found this one and wanted to try it. They looked delicious, but the only thing I will…

    After growing my first batch of Red Winter Wheat Berry Sprouts, I remembered how yummy that sprout bread at the health food store was. So I decided to experiment. And I have to tell you I had better results than I could have imagined. This bread was so moist and delicious that I could have…

  • Pizza time with home made dough

    Been at it again with that bread machine of mine. But for the first time instead of making bread, tried to make some pizza dough with it. The ingredients were as basic as it gets and it’s half the time involved. Step on board and I’ll show you how easy and delicious this kind of…

  • Sprouting into Springtime

      Remember growing sprouts as a kid? You remember, in a jar and putting some panty hose over the top of the jar to let them breathe? Yes, it was remembering those healthy sprouts that made me want to start to grow my own again this spring. So simple. Let life do its magic and…
