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

Bruschetta Dip is a good way to trick your friends and family into believing that you put forth a lot of effort into being so fancy for them! A spreadable cheese layer topped with tomatoes, fresh basil and a balsamic glaze. DONE! The colors are gorgeous and it really...

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...

This delicious and hearty stew has the most wonderful tomato undertones. I usually make it on the stovetop, but I also love to have it quick and ready in the Instant Pot, or slow cook it all day in the crock pot. I have been messing with this recipe based off of half...

Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls

It's a snowy day in Denver, Colorado. The kids are all home for Spring Break. A perfect day for Cinnamon Rolls. Cinnamon Rolls are a big tradition in our family. My mom rarely made them. Her thing was Sticky Buns. My mother-in-law has handed down the cinnamon roll...

Roll Dough

This is a Myrna Ritz Approved recipe. This is the recipe that people most often ask me for when they find out I am her daughter in law. It became "famous" when my husband was young. Their church congregation needed money to fund a new building. Many of the women, men...

Fresh Broccoli Salad

This is one of the BEST salads I have ever tasted! Wherever we go, it always becomes a favorite for everyone who tries it. This is a recipe I grew up with. It's something my mom, Colleen Mott used to make. The combination of the four ingredients; broccoli, grapes,...
