Here’s something that cracks me up: recipes professed as being “quick & easy” that take over an hour to prepare. In my house, an hour of dinner prep does not equal a quick meal. If you make these wraps with frozen pre-cooked chicken then this meal can be on your table in under 15 minutes. Now that …

I’ve been using this marinade for years and I love it. This recipe make a large batch, enough to fill a quart mason jar. I’ve always just kept it on the shelf and never had any issues. So I guess refrigeration is optional! 😉 When I have some steak, boneless pork chops or chicken thighs …
My friend Robyn will attest that I was obsessed with cornbread long before I lived in the South. I remember sending her a souvenir magnet with – you guessed it – a cornbread recipe on it back when we were in college. That was looong time ago. When I heard on a recent WDW Radio podcast that …
We are hosting a little egg hunt at our house this Easter and I am setting out a brunch buffet for the get-together.

I just paid $0.49/lb. for some sweet taters and remembered this great recipe for latkes that I haven’t made in years. I have modified this sweet potato latkes …
You might be thinking: Smoothie recipes are a dime a dozen nowadays! What makes this one so special? Well, I’ve been making smoothies almost daily for years (we have 20 blueberry bushes on our property so who knows how many gallons of blueberry smoothie I’ve consumed) and I think I’ve finally found smoothie nirvana. Here’s …
I love a good pancake… or four. Especially hearty whole grain pancakes that really soak up the butter and syrup. I have been working on this recipe for a while and think I finally have a great whole grain pancake mix. I like to make a big batch (this will fill 2 quart-sized mason jars), …
