Lion House Honey Butter

November 6, 2009

This is the real stuff guys. Nothing low-cat, low-fat about this delectable delight. Put a dollop on the Holiday Crescent Rolls I posted yesterday, and you’ll think you have died and gone to HEAVEN, and I’m not even kidding.

Holiday Crescent Rolls

November 4, 2009

When I was going to the University of Utah I worked at The Lion House. For you out of state-rs, its a wedding reception/banquet dinner kind of joint. They have the most FABULOUS bakery. Fabulous for the pallet, not so fabulous for the hips…if you get my drift. The dinner rolls there are pretty much [...]

Parmeson Chicken Salad

November 4, 2009

Need a great kid lovin’, adult pleasin’ kind of meal? Make some of this chicken, slice it up and throw it on top of a salad……. for those in your family who are salad lovers. My boy Mark told me yesterday, “I’m not a salad person, Mom.” No kidding, as if I already didn’t know. [...]

Moogie Mush, cracked wheat cereal

So you may be thinking….what in the world is a Moogie, and what does it have to do with mush? Well, all I can tell you is that this cracked wheat cereal is a recipe my father in law made for his kids a lot when they were growing up. He lived for 2 years [...]

Southwest Black Bean Chicken in the Crock Pot

Sugar Cookies

Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without these wonderful sugar cookies. My mom made them a lot when I was growing up, the recipe is wonderful! They make a super soft, sweet cookie. They do take a little time, and the dough is easiest to work with if it has been refrigerated for about an hour. The [...]

White Chicken Chili

October 27, 2009

Well guys and gals, it’s a stormy day along the Wasatch Front. I’d say a rather chilly day. A great day to make a batch of chili! This original recipe came from my great friend Tricia. I have changed it somewhat, using dried great northern beans instead of canned, and 1% milk instead of whipping [...]

School Morning Pancakes

October 24, 2009

This is my standard pancake recipe. It really doesn’t take long at all, and can be made on a school morning. Sometimes I add mini chocolate chips, or frozen blueberries. The recipe makes about 20, so I keep leftovers in the fridge for the next day. My little boys even like them plain as a [...]
