One of the best caramel sauces I have made. You can use this on top of cheesecake, ice cream, or drizzled in your coffee. PERFECTION!Read More

I wanted to make something special for my dear friend Kim's birthday. I private messaged her mom on Facebook and asked what would be a good dessert to take to Kim's house. Apple Crisp it is! Crispy oat crumble and cinnamon spiced granny smith apples baked to perfection. Serve hot out of the oven over vanilla bean ice cream. This recipe will make two 9" apple crisp pies.Read More

A fall favorite, butternut squash shines brightest when used as a base for a rich, warming soup. Serve this full-flavored soup as a first course or as a smooth vegetable stew over rice with a side of cooked greens. We've used luxurious full-fat coconut milk, which yields a decadent, silky soup. You can use light coconut milk, if you prefer, for a soup with less body (and only 1g saturated fat per serving).Read More

I make these salmon fillets all at once on Sunday and enjoy them for lunch or dinner throughout the week. They are light, healthy, and taste great if you want to reheat them. Enjoy them over cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or a bed of lettuce. Read More

Thankfully the week of Thanksgiving I stumbled upon this recipe for Boston Market’s copycat sweet potato casserole. In our Italian family we are not ones to have much beyond the meat, potatoes, rolls, and dessert...Read More

Our neighbors brought over a bowl of this soup and my husband loved it. He asked if I could get the recipe and make it for him. I took the Cloud’s recipe and added a little flare of my own. If you don’t make this soup, I at least suggest you visit a Claro’s Italian Market if you live in Southern California. Or swing by The Corner Butcher Shop in La Verne for their specialty sausages. http://store.claros...Read More

I have never purchased frozen pie shells before. After finding an old recipe in my grandmothers recipe box that called for an unbaked pie shell it made me realize that I don’t always have to make crust from scratch. And that some people just don’t have the time. With that said, I decided to trial this pie using frozen pie crust...Read More
