Book Group tonight at my house so the perfect time to try out a couple of new recipes. This is a Dove Chocolate Discoveries recipe from their Spring/Summer 2009 Entertaining Guide, very good but very crunchy. (Maybe a little too crunchy? Maybe I didn’t do it right although I did follow the instructions. Any thoughts … Continue reading
This was by far the most fun thing to cook for Patty and Raymond today! It smelled divine and I told Patty that I was going to have to come home and make one for us so that we could try it but I’m too tired today from all the cooking so it will have … Continue reading
More food for Patty and Raymond! The recipe as listed below made the above two pans of enchiladas. The instructions said you could make them soft or crispy, so I did a pan of each (soft on left, crispy on right). 2 pounds ground beef 1 small can diced ortega chilis (left these out for … Continue reading
Another dinner for Patty. I mixed the sauce ingredients together and decided that it didn’t look like quite enough so I doubled it and then I ended up doubling that again and then it looked like enough! 🙂 1 chicken, cut up or your favorite pieces (I used 5 chicken breasts) 1/4 cup Russian dressing … Continue reading

I spent today cooking for my friends Patty and Raymond again. Patty gave me a copy of her cookbook called “Patty’s Cakes and Things” so that I could make some of her favorite foods for her. She requested salmon patties but the recipe said you could also make a salmon loaf so I opted for … Continue reading
Here is one of Bob’s all time favorites so I made it for Valentine’s Day dinner. It’s not hard to make, just a little time consuming but it’s really tasty in fact Bob has been known to sneak down in the middle of the night and eat it cold! This is another one of those … Continue reading
I made a big dinner for Valentine’s Day – Hearty Stuffed Shells (Bob’s favorite, will be the next post), Green Beans with Garlic Butter and Walnuts (everyone loves these, they are already on the blog) and this Triple Cheese Flatbread which I got in an email from Bisquick. It is pretty easy to make and … Continue reading
Bob got me Bakerella’s cookbook “Cake Pops” for Christmas and I’ve been waiting for a chance to try it out and so I decided that since I’m always making things for other people that for Valentine’s Day I would make Cake Pops for my family. They came out pretty good although I did have a … Continue reading
