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.
Anadama Bread
My Grandma used to make this bread. It has molasses and cornmeal in it, which makes it very unique. And delicious! This bread originated in New England. I'm not sure how my Grandma came across this recipe....maybe it started with HER mother. Anyway, I'm glad they...
Baked Chicken Strips with Aioli
Who doesn't love chicken strips? Making your own is quite easy and because they are baked they are definitely healthier! I have included a recipe for Aioli sauce, but these could be paired with whatever your favorite sauce is! I use whole chicken breast instead of...
Korean Noodles
I LOVE noodles. I like rice too, but with Asian dishes I always go with noodles if I can. So...this noodle dish is based on Korean Bibimbap bowls, which are RICE bowls. I used a lot of the same veggies but the key is the Bibimbap Sauce. The base of Bibimbap Sauce is...
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 my Deviled Eggs 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. We love them for Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, or just an...
