A mother and daughter sharing our best food, and our secrets to living the happy life with the goal of helping us all create a stronger family unit.
Lamb (or beef) Gyros
Every Spring I like to buy a few lamb roasts at Costco to keep in the freezer. This has become one of my favorite ways to cook and eat lamb. My friend Alyssa shared this lamb kebab recipe from Food & Wine Magazine. I've adjusted it a tiny bit. For my favorite...
Shrimp Fried Rice
I LOVE fried rice. I know that technically it's a side dish, but I often serve it as the entree. Add a salad and cook some frozen egg rolls and it makes a fantastic meal. There are a couple of important things to know when making fried rice. First: The rice should be...
Saanya’s Masala Omelet
I LOVE Indian food. But I had never had it for breakfast. That is until, one fine morning, my daughter-in-law Saanya asked if I would like an omelet? And would I like a "regular" one or a Masala omelet? What kind of question is that? So...I watched her. I watch her...
Chicken Alabam
One year for Christmas someone gave my grandma a cookbook from the Lion House. The Lion House is one of Brigham Young's homes in Salt Lake City, UT. The first floor of the Lion House is now a restaurant. My kids love eating there because they have things like bottled...

Lettuce Wraps
I think these are the best lettuce wraps you will ever taste! Corinne and I both have been working on this recipe over the years and I think we finally got it right! So go no further! My first experience with lettuce wraps happened many years ago when a new Cheesecake...
The Most Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies
These really are the most amazing cookies! And I know what I am talking about as Colleen Mott's daughter. She made the most delicious cookies! But. There is baking chemistry that comes into play here. These stay soft and chewy even a day later. Adding in a delicious...
Chicken Parmesan – store to table
We LOVE Chickie Chickie Parm Parm! (As Tom Haverford from Parks & Rec would say.) We love to call it that as well. It is so fun to say. This can be made by breading and cooking the chicken yourself, then making homemade marinara to go on top. OR this can be fast...
