Buttery Blonde Banana Bread

December 3, 2009

This recipe is To. Die. For. I got it from the super great food blog, My Kitchen Cafe. Melanie has got a TREMEDOUS amount of fabulous food represented there.

Chicken Enchiladas

November 29, 2009

This is a recipe I have developed over the course of a lot of years. Sometimes I put in a lot of cheese, sometimes not much at all (depending upon the current size of our waist lines…and how serious we are at that point in time about shrinking them!) The chicken is very flavorful and [...]

November 28, 2009

These fabulous homemade Won Tons are a great Eskelson Family Tradition. My father in law Mark, spent 2 years as an LDS missionary in Japan, and MyHandsomeHusband served a mission in Korea.

Quiche

November 23, 2009

This is a great basic quiche recipe I got from my sister in law Mary. You can add a different kind of meat, or omit the onions and spinach. However, I wouldn’t dare make it without a lot of cheese and some sort of meat. This recipe calls for bacon and Swiss. Sausage or ham would also be great. I [...]

Mint Oreo Cookies

November 19, 2009

These delightful treats are super super easy. The cookie dough is made from a devils food cake mix. How easy is that! The frosting is homemade with a hint of mint. Gotta LOVE chocolate and mint. Love may be too light of a word. I think I might be down right obsessed with chocolate and [...]
