Dessert

Strawberry Shortcake

The perfect springtime dessert – this Strawberry Shortcake is just the thing for those times when the strawberries look so good at the market that you buy way too many (that happens to me every spring.) I prefer to make shortcake biscuits in this dessert, rather than traditional buttermilk biscuits, […]

Gluten-free, Side Dish

Creamy Coleslaw

My husband is from Memphis and has spent decades trying to make the perfect pulled pork sandwich – and the perfect pulled pork sandwich always includes the best creamy coleslaw. This one is a winner and the perfect complement to barbeque. You’ll love how easy this is to make. This […]

Dessert

Lemon Drop Cookies

When our family’s favorite vendor, Erin, stopped selling these Lemon Drop Cookies at our local farmer’s market, I had to find a way to recreate them myself. They have just the right texture – crunchy and soft, without being cakey. The crushed up Lemonhead candies and icing are the perfect […]

Bread, Breakfast

The Best Cinnamon Rolls

These are the very best cinnamon rolls! The base is Darya’s Best Homemade Rolls dough and it’s filled with a wonderful combination of brown sugar, spices and just a touch of orange. These cinnamon rolls have a very simple icing, which I like best, but I’ve included a cream cheese […]

Dinner, Gluten-free, Soups

Pumpkin Apple Soup

Just right for a Fall or Winter evening, this soup is the perfect combination of pumpkin, apples, bacon and spices. Use canned pumpkin or roast your own (directions included ) and substitute the coconut milk for the cream in a lower fat version. The roasted pepitas (directions included) are the […]

Dinner, Main Dish

Cincinnati Chili

This is a hearty chili, made even better when served over spaghetti. The original recipe is from my dear neighbor, Leah, and we’ve been making it for years! It’s very flavorful with lots of different spices. My family loves to eat Cincinnati Chili with a big green salad for dinner […]
