Packed full of vegetables and a spicy kick, this recipe hits the spot and leaves your mouth tingling. If you have a heat sensitivity, you can add sour cream and/or lighten up on the cayenne pepper.

Grilled Cheese with Cranberry, Chicken, ...
Crunchy, creamy, savory, and sweet, this sandwich has it all. When I want to be really bad, I add more cheese, but there is enough cheese in the recipe to keep the sandwich stuck together. Sometime I use a sandwich maker to make a delicious “hot pocket”, and sometimes I simply use a skillet or griddle. The […]

Conversely, if you prefer a hotter version, add a diced jalapeno. Also, this is a gluten-free recipe because the meatballs do […]

Making liquid treats at home is the best option because I can add as much or as little sweetness as I prefer. My morning cup of coffee is usually […]

That sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten: a thick layer of slow roasted beef between two pieces of fresh baked wheat bread with crisp lettuce, onion, and tomato. I enjoyed that sandwich so much […]

This is a very fast, very easy meal to prepare. It comes together in about 20 minutes. All ingredients can either be prepared in advance and canned (i.e. vodka sauce) or you can purchase the items from the store. I have yet to make my own pasta and my own vodka sauce. Both are on […]
