Shrimp Dip

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

This dip dates way back, to my high school days! Well, to be honest it’s not actually that far in the real stretch of a life’s time (graduated 11 years ago) but you know what I mean. To have someone give you a recipe that you are still making years later means it must really […]

Quick Chicken Salad

Monday, September 12th, 2011

You know those days when you just want to throw together a meal and be done with it? Well this recipe is for those days. And to be completely honest it’s not so much a recipe, but more of a list of ingredients that you add to your liking. I actually came up with this […]

Mae Mae’s Sweet Garlic Pickles

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Let me just start by saying that I’m posting this recipe, which will (next week) be followed by another recipe that uses these pickles as an ingredient.  You don’t want to miss out on that one! It’s super easy and delicious so don’t forget to check back for that one. Now, on to the pickles! […]

Club Roll-Up

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Did you know that my hubby and I were high school sweethearts? Yep, we were, we are, whatever is the appropriate way to phrase that statement. We started dating when we were just in the 9th grade, and with the exception of a short separation our 10th grade year we’ve been together ever since. We […]

Hamburger Sliders

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Before I tell you about this recipe let me just tell you about my hubby. He’s a super picky eater. He doesn’t like anything “weird” in his food, and “weird” in his mind qualifies as anything other than pasta, meat, or potatoes. He sure doesn’t like onions or peppers, and will turn his nose up […]

Greek Layered Dip

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Stop right there! Do I have your attention? No, really, do I have your full attention? You’re going to wish I did if I don’t because this dip is so flavorful, so unbelievably delicious that it’s just indescribable. And isn’t it just beautiful? Beautiful, I tell ya! I know, I’m wiggin’ out a bit over […]

Grilled Shrimp

Friday, July 29th, 2011

Grilled shrimp sounds simple enough, right? So then why can’t many restaurants get it right? I mean, if you work in a restaurant as a chef of all things, you should know how to cook grilled shrimp in my opinion. But I find that time after time, restaurants don’t even cook it right. I have […]

Homemade French Fries

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

This may seem like a silly thing to post, but believe it or not there are people out there that don’t know how to make french fries at home. Yep, it’s true. It really is! I always loved my grandmother’s french fries best. Hers were just regular old fries, nothing special, but for some reason […]

Sun Dried Tomato Dip

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

It’s been one of those no-good days again…the kind I seem to be having far too many of lately. I guess that means that I need to make something chocolate to counteract the blues, huh? That always helps. Or at least that’s what I tell myself and that seems to help. Chocolate makes the world […]

“Crack” Dip

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

When I was still a part of the working world before I had my children, this dip was required at every single gathering in the office. I can’t even remember who in the office originally shared the recipe, but what I do remember is that every single time it was brought it didn’t last long! That’s […]
