Key Lime Pie Martini


While perusing recipes over the weekend, I somehow stumbled upon this insanely delicious concoction. I found there are many variations, some using pineapple juice, sweet and sour mix, coconut rum, and so on. I took two recipes I found, swapped out a couple of ingredients and thought it tasted exactly like the dessert version. AContinue reading “Key Lime Pie Martini”

Bisquick Impossible Quiche


I hope everyone is well and staying safe during these trying times. I’ve been home and “sheltering in place” for almost four months now, and as such, cooking up a storm. The plus side to this pandemic is that I’m eating healthier and cleaner, and less processed foods… for the most part. I love breakfast,Continue reading “Bisquick Impossible Quiche”

Perfect Popovers


I posted a popovers recipe in 2010… can’t believe it’s been a decade! This version is slightly modified with cooking temperature, ingredients and method, but yields much better results. You can make them in a traditional popover pan or muffin pan; you can even make mini popovers. I’ll provide some basic guidelines for all three,Continue reading “Perfect Popovers”

It can be a nice main or side dish, andContinue reading “Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Salad”

I do switch up the sauce atContinue reading “Easy Baked Chicken Wings”

Buffalo Cheese Dip

As I’ve mentioned in some previous posts, I receive a ton of recipes emailed to me on a regular basis from various online sources, and saw one I wanted to try, especially since the big “Game Day” is approaching and I know people areContinue reading “Buffalo Cheese Dip”

Five Ingredient Chicken with Sweet and Spicy Broccoli


I realize it’s been two whole months since I posted a recipe so am way overdue. I made this delicious meal last month, and it’s super easy to put together. I cooked the chicken on top of the stove, but you can definitely use the grill if that’s your preference. Ingredients 2 skinless, boneless chicken breastsContinue reading “Five Ingredient Chicken with Sweet and Spicy Broccoli”

Honey Chipolte BBQ Chicken Sandwich


I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July with your family and/or friends, and you got to indulge in some really good eats! I came across this recipe yesterday, and it looked so good, I just had to make it. I tweaked it just slightly to suit my taste, and it came out incrediblyContinue reading “Honey Chipolte BBQ Chicken Sandwich”
