Fair Scones with Raspberry Jam
I grew up in Spokane, Washington and my family attended the Spokane County Fair every August. It was so exciting and the memories from those days are magic. And there is just nothing like "fair food". Arguably, the most famous fair food to come out of Washington state...
Mexican Pizza
My favorite thing to order at Taco Bell has always been their Mexican Pizza. It's everything that is delicious in a burrito but spread on crispy tortillas. Our version is much healthier but just as yummy. You can use either corn or flour tortillas. I bake them in a...
Funnel Cakes
Funnel cakes are a State Fair staple, especially in the Northeast. When we lived in Pennsylvania, a friend of mine gave me this recipe. It is fun and easy, and the perfect treat anytime of year. Originally the batter was poured into a small funnel over hot oil, moving...
Spaghetti Pie
This savory pie is a Colorado creation. It is baked in a pie dish, using the pasta as the crust. Traditionally that is topped with a ricotta cheese layer and then spaghetti sauce. We added a veggie layer to ours and it makes it even better. This definitely qualifies...
Raspberry Swirl
My mother-in-law made this for a Sunday night treat the summer I married her son. Holy heaven I loved it! It is an old family recipe that my husband remembers eating all summer long. He grew up in Oregon, in the Willamette Valley, where berries are plentiful. They...
Sesame Chili Chicken with Watermelon Salsa
I found this recipe years ago in a Cooking Light Magazine, and I have had a lot of enjoyment making it my own over the years. I always forget how GOOD this meal is, then the next Summer comes around and I pull out my Summer recipes, and OH YEAH!!!! It is SO GOOD!...
Curried Basmati Rice
I love this Basmati rice with a hint of curry on the side of most main dishes that have Southeast Asian flavors. Think Indian and Thai food. So different, but this rice is equally good with Pork Satay and Chicken Tikka Masala. I first made this up as a side dish to go...
Salmon in Phyllo with Dill Sauce
I Love Salmon. And I love preparing it in a variety of ways. This recipe is DELICIOUS. And EASY. And ELEGANT. Such a great entree for a dinner party. Or a special family dinner. If you have never used phyllo dough, don't let it stop you. It's easy and fun. Thaw the...
Ice Cream Cake
This is such a fast and easy summer dessert. It's perfect for any summer gathering and always disappears fast. Spread a little cool whip on the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. This will keep the ice cream sandwiches from sticking to the pan and makes it much easier to...
Buttermilk Pie
This pie is a southern treasure. It's the South's version of custard pie, and it is rich and delicious. It's a star any time of the year. In summer, serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit. In the colder months just sprinkle the cream topping with nutmeg. It's...
