Most Delicious Life
Food * Family * Fun
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.
Lemon Bisque
Or Lemon Whip. Or Lemon Fluff. Or Lemon Cloud. All of these make more sense than the name Lemon Bisque. A bisque is soup with seafood. Oh well. It was America in the 1950's and the name stuck. I love good vintage recipes. They take me back to Grandma's house. And this...
Grilled Chicken Legs with Dry Rub
Years ago, when we first moved here to Highlands Ranch, Colorado, a family from church invited us over for dinner that first week. They invited over two other families as well. You can imagine it was a crowd, with many kids running around. It was so much fun, and we...
Chicken Marsala
Chicken Marsala has always been one of my favorite "GO-TO's" at Italian restaurants. It is so rich and delicious. Always satisfying. Will you believe me when I say that it's not hard to make? Yes you have to chop onions, but if that's a problem, just leave them out....
Cool Whip Truffles
I am always keen for something fun to do with the kids in the kitchen. Making chocolates is so fun! It seems to only happen during the Christmas holidays, but this is wonderful to make at anytime! Decorate according to the time of year. These are surprisingly...
Veggie Pizza
This is an old standard...something I made for every gathering, every event, every baby shower. And I had forgotten how good it is. Really YUMMY! Like... I can't stop eating it. So easy to make! It's funny looking back over the years as new food products emerged they...
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...
Toffee Apple Dip
Many years ago, my Aunt Judy made a version of this dip and set it out on Thanksgiving to snack on while we were finishing food prep. I loved it, and wrote down her measurements, and made it for years. THEN, one day my friend Emily brought this dip to a gathering, and...
