Good Saturday morning everyone! January has come, and is almost gone my friends. And can I just say…we are that much closer to spring tulips! Hooray! That is something to smile about.

Pork Roast with Vegetables and Gravy

January 28, 2010

This is the Pork Roast recipe I have been using for years. It has always been…pretty darn good. We have enjoyed it. Liked it a lot, even. Made it frequently. However, after I received a bottle of Newman’s Own Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing I wondered how it might taste in this recipe. I added it and…..to put [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 27, 2010

I have to apologize to all you fabulous dieters out there. I have to admit….I shouldn’t have made these beauties this week. But, I just couldn’t help myself. They were calling to me. This past Sunday afternoon MyHandsomeHusband asked “What should we make for dinner?” I answered with “Chocolate Chip Cookies….what else?!” I have this theory that if you [...]

Alfredo Wraps

January 26, 2010

This week I’m featuring a few recipes that I have been experimenting with lately. These Alfredo wraps are made with Newman’s Own Alfredo Sauce. For the dough I used my French Bread recipe, though I’m sure you could make them using Rhodes frozen dough. I opted for dough from scratch. I have this strange need to use the [...]

Rosemary Red Potatoes

January 25, 2010

Are you wondering if everything in my house (including the people) are orange? If I were you, I would be. Every picture I post seems to have this strange orangie vibe to it. What can I say. I am not a professional. I’m trying to improve on my food photography skills. Anybody know how to [...]

Well, well. I know, I know…..it is still January, but I couldn’t help but post these fun cookies! I found them at the wonderful site My Kitchen Cafe. There are fabulous recipes galore over there!

January 20, 2010

Progresso Soup sent me a fun package the other day. There were 15 cans of soup, this great jump rope and handy soup mug. I’ve been skipping around the house with this jump rope for a couple of days now. I haven’t taken out any lamp shades yet, thanks for asking. The nice folks at Progresso Soup [...]

Rumbi’s Mango Chicken Salad

January 18, 2010

I can NOT say enough wonderful things about this salad. It was created to taste like one of the Rumbi Island Grill salads. Shandra who created My Food Storage Deals and Deals to Meals is the brains behind this beauty. She has a real knack for making fabulous knock off recipes. Her sister is a [...]
