The daughter of one of my oldest friends (I’ve known Ann since we were like 11 – 12 years old) graduated from BYU’s College of Nursing yesterday (way to go Alyse!). Her mom and dad threw her a party to celebrate so I made these cupcakes for the party. They came out pretty cute and … Continue reading
I thought I was done making soups this season but Mother Nature says no! so here is another variation on the Minestrone theme from the Food Network Magazine by Ellie Krieger. 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 large onion, diced (I didn’t have an onion so I used 1/4 cup dried onion) 4 cloves … Continue reading

This recipe came in one of my cooking magazines (can’t remember which one) and was in a “Cooking For One” section but it sounded good so I quadrupled the ingredients for the 4 of us and it came out great. We had it hot for dinner but I’m thinking it will taste just as good, … Continue reading
