Strawberries & Cream Bars
Many years ago, my friend Sharon brought these yummy squares to a gathering. It was during strawberry season in Oregon, and we had picked strawberries together with our kids earlier that day at a U-pick farm. Every year now, this is usually the first thing I make with...
Classic Deviled Eggs
I get a lot of requests for this recipe. I often make it for special gatherings, and friends coming over. They are great to put out while putting the finishing touches on a big meal. HERE'S THE THING! These deviled eggs are basic. I don't mean that in a negative way....
Monkey Bread
I LOVE Monkey Bread! My mom and mother-in-law never made it. The first time I ever had it was at my friend Courtney's house in High School. Her mom made it for us for breakfast. I was like, "What is this HEAVEN?" They stared at me like I was an alien. They couldn't...
Strawberry and Feta Salad
With fresh strawberries, walnuts and feta, what could go wrong??? And then add on the most perfect dressing and Mmmm Mmmm GOOD! It tastes like spring and summer on a plate! I feel like you can NOT have too many great salad recipes. I think it's the perfect lunch...

Spinach Pie
I LOVE dishes made with phyllo. It provides such a unique texture. Phyllo originated in Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines and was used to make pastries, such as baklava. Using it in savory dishes is a relatively new development. This spinach pie is the perfect mix...
Breakfast Casserole
This is what we have for breakfast every Christmas morning. And also on Easter and usually Thanksgiving. And really just anytime we are gathered together and want a yummy breakfast. This definitely qualifies as a vintage recipe. It's nice because you make it the night...
Tator Tot Casserole
Did you eat this as a child? Well here it is, back again. New and improved. It's a little healthier, a few more vegetables, but still takes you back. Use either ground turkey or beef. I have been opting for ground turkey a lot recently. It works so well as a...
Angel Food Cake
I had my first baby in June of 1999. I was home all that Summer watching a lot of TV. One of my favorite shows that Summer was Martha Stewart. I would watch and dream of day when I would have the time, energy and money to live that kind of beautiful life. My life has...
