Sausage Parmesan Cannellini Soup

We are in a little bit of a cold and rainy spell at the moment. I opened my blog and was wondering what I was going to make with/for you today. Because of it being so cold I wanted to make and eat some warm comforting soup; so I made some. I had a couple of sweet Italian sausage links in the fridge, I didn’t have a can of crushed tomatoes so I substituted a can of Rotel which is great because it…

Whoopie Pie

I used to have the best whoopie pie recipe over 30 years ago. I hunted for years trying to find it again. I got it from a co-worker in the mid 90’s and made them several times until I lost the recipe and never tried making them again, until last week. The only reason I even tried to make them again was for our WWW family dinner. This year we are making meals from the US states and provinces and…

Louisiana Crunch Cake

What a busy weekend around here this weekend. Yesterday was spent in town with my family at the Children and the Arts day. It is kind of near and dear to my heart as this is its 31st year and my kids use to participate and I volunteered for years, most schools and day care centers in the area create something for the kids to do, there is art work done by the kids put up all over town culminates…

Blanket Dumplings

Firstly Happy Mother’s Day! I just got back from watching my Granddaughter run in her first Healthy Kids Running race. OK how stinking cute so many littles running to get to the finish line. She came in fourth, not sure how many 3 year olds there were but it was more than I could have handled. Looking forward to next week. OK these have popped up SO many times over the last couple of months I…

Sheet Pan Gnocchi

I had some gnocchi in the pantry for sometime now so I thought about making something with it. I generally make a gnocchi soup, sometimes I pan fry them but I wanted something a little different and I do love making sheet pan meals, a little prep and into the oven. They are easy, quick and quite tasty plus clean up is very easy.     How I tend to make anything really is to use what I have on…

Dutch Baby

I have had a written down on a scrap piece of paper for over a month now on making a Dutch Baby. Today was the day it finally happened, and it was worth the wait. My husband asked for something completely different, but I had waited long enough, fairly certain if I didn’t make it I would have probably lost the scrap piece of paper; it happens. When I told him I wanted to make something else, of…

I was going to make split pea soup with the ham bone from Easter. The only obstacle with this is only 3 of the 7 people that I would serve it to actually like it. Some of us would eat it but it’s not our first or even second choice. I would have had to pick up the split peas and I have tried to pick up a bag after Easter and the store didn’t have any, so there is that too. I walked into my…

Julia Child never fail Quiche

I either never heard or of or maybe I had and I had forgotten this but I came across a reel where she was making a quiche and I don’t usually make quiche because I don’t want to make a crust. Yes I know you can make a crustless quiche but I tend to make a frittata and call it a day! Any way I picked up some cottage cheese so I could try out the Julia Child never fail Quiche, or at least a play…

Happy Easter - have a lovely day!

Happy Easter! Kind of a dreary day around here in NH and looks nothing like this lovely picture of tulips that I wish I knew how to grow! I just hid a bunch of eggs around the house for my 3 year old granddaughter and I can’t wait for her to arrive and run around the house looking for them. While I was hiding them, my husband asked a good question. How did hiding eggs become a thing to do for…

Oven Pot Roast

I know it is Spring around here but the cold weather suggests otherwise so a nice and comforting Pot Roast was on the menu last week and could be this weekend as well. I think it was a high of 30 yesterday and while the sun in shining and lovely looking out it says it is 40, but it’s a cold and windy 40 degrees. Around here Spring 40 is cold, Fall 40 is lovely. This is the pot roast I made and…

Penne Strascicate

Here I was spending too much time on my phone and no prospects for dinner last night. Scrolling along and I came across this pasta recipe where I stopped scrolling for a minute to watch it. Paused it and went through the cupboards and fridge in my mind “do I have everything to make this?” well not exactly but I can make it work. Work it did, it was very easy and delicious to boot. So here I am…
