Grass Pots
When winter lingers and you are dreaming of Spring it's time to take matters into your own hands. Planting seeds and watching them grow is restorative to the soul. It's the promise of new life. And something every kid should experience. Here in Colorado the snows keep...
Whoopie Pies
Whoopie pies are one of those things that I forget how good they are until I make them again. And then I eat too many while exclaiming, "These are so good!" I guess they are called whoopie pies for a reason. I was introduced to these while living in Pennsylvania many...
Grape and Goat Cheese Crostini
I love appetizers. There's something about those small delicious bites. And there are so many different kinds to enjoy! Crostini is the BOMB! There are so many ways you can prepare it, and this is one of my favorites. Something about the combination of the bread,...
Mexican Polenta Pie
Polenta originated in Northern Italy where it was used in place of pasta. And it is just as delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, this recipe will convert you. Polenta is basically a cornmeal mush, which I know does not sound very appetizing but it is really quite...
Oven Roasted Chicken Breast

Raspberry Hand Pies (Turnovers)
I am ALWAYS in for raspberries! In anything! It's my favorite berry by far. These are made with a butter pastry that is so flaky and delicious and it's easy to boot! These are a delight for almost any occasion. If you haven't made a butter pastry before it might sound...
Broccoli Noodle Soup
This is a different twist on traditional Broccoli Cheese Soup. It's my son Isaac's very favorite soup. It's pretty fast and easy so it's a great GO-TO for dinner. Years ago when my kids were little I made this with Velveeta, which you are welcome to do. But it is even...
Spinach Quiche
This is another delicious recipe from my mother-in-law. To learn about her and her recipes check out Myrna Ritz Approved. My kids LOVE this quiche! It is SO yummy that I use it as the foundation for all the quiches that I make. I have many variations coming soon! I...
Extremely Light Waffles
My husband grew up on these waffles. We were given a waffle maker for our wedding and used to make these waffles all the time together. Now when we make them we TRIPLE the recipe. The leftovers keep well for later. They are super easy to reheat in the microwave or...
