Zuppa Toscana

Zuppa Toscana

Almost nothing is better on a cooler day than a pot of soup. This Zuppa Toscana is a family favorite. This is another great leftover to heat up for lunch, so I always make a full pot. This soup is easily made GLUTEN FREE! Just make sure the broth or chicken stock you...

Raspberry Hand Pies (Turnovers)

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

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...

Dill Pickle Chip Dip

Dill Pickle Chip Dip

I have seen a version of this around a lot lately. We became obsessed with it! It's VERY addictive. And then we couldn't find it anymore! So, I decided to make it myself. It is really SO GOOD! Here you go! Three ingredients! Mix it up and enjoy! We do have a...

Orange Swirls

Orange Swirls

These are MY FAVORITE sweet rolls. As soon as I see snow in the forecast I buy oranges, I have to be prepared! It's also my favorite way to use my mother in law's recipe for Roll Dough. This recipe is cut down from the original to make 2 9x13 dishes of rolls or 24...

Bruschetta Dip

Bruschetta Dip

Several years ago, I went away on a girl's weekend trip with friends who all love food! One of our favorite things to do is share food, recipes and ideas. We are all assigned different meals to be in charge of. I always come away from those weekends with great new...

Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup

Do you like lentil soup? Have you ever tried it? You really really should. I have noticed lentil soup on more restaurant menus in recent years. Lentil Soup is truly a throw-back to a time when soaking beans for dinner was a regular thing. My grandma Mott used to make...
