Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Comments (2)
Great Grandma Lucille was not one for using canned sauces; she preferred to make her own. Boy were we lucky when she would whip up some of her famous homemade spaghetti sauce! Her recipe is actually extremely simple, so I am not sure why more people don't make their own every once in awhile. The difference in taste is amazing! Use fresh herbs to really give it a homemade touch.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Most people love chocolate chip cookies, but this version of that classic recipe is jazzed up with some creamy peanut butter that really gives them some zing. When you are in the mood for something a little non-traditional, whip up this quick recipe and your taste buds will not be disappointed!

Comments (9)
Rachael Ray makes this amazing carbonara pizza recipe that is quick and delicious. Whenever you are in the mood for pizza, but you want something a little more refined than just pepperoni, try this simple recipe. Serve it with a side salad and voila, you have a complete meal in 30 minutes!
Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Comments (6)
French fries are a common side dish to go with many American meals, but did you ever try sweet potato fries instead? Well if you haven’t, you are missing out! This simple recipe is easy to prepare and jazzes up the regular burger and fries combo. Plus, these are also healthier than regular fries because sweet potatoes contain vitamins A and C, which are both antioxidants. So the next time you are looking for a delicious addition to your quick meal, throw these babies in the oven and let them work their magic.
Warm Spinach Dip
Comments (3)
My step-mother makes this spinach dip for parties and I have been trying to get the recipe from her for years. At first inspection, the ingredients are actually very simple, but you would never know it from the taste. Serve with crackers, bagel chips, bread, veggies, etc. The possibilities are endless.
Asian Style Pork Loin
Comments (3)
Pork loin is one of my favorite proteins because it can be prepared so many ways. Pork's mild flavor tends to match well with many different seasonings and sauces, but I especially love giving it some Asian flair. This recipe is simple, but the taste is phenomenal. Serve it with some steamed rice and vegetables and you have an amazing meal in less than 35 minutes!
Chuck Roast Dinner
Comments (6)
I do believe chuck roast is one of the finest foods known to man. It fits my new 'slow' outlook on life and is well worth the wait. It absolutely takes me home - simple, delicious and hearty.
“Sangria” a nice refreshing wine cooler
Comments (2)
So many different recipes for making “Sangria” especially down South close to the boarder. Sangria can be experimented with different combination of fruits and even wine. Many even use brandy, club soda, claret, and Bordeaux. I prefer the simply version.
Peanut Butter Cookies
Comments (3)
This is a simple recipe, but a great one. These chewy peanut butter cookies have been a favorite of mine since I was a child. My Mom would make these and I remember the house filling with the delicious smell. She would serve them up with some cold milk and she had some very happy kiddos!
Idle Hand Bars
Comments (16)
These sinfully delicious peanut butter and chocolate dessert bars are out of this world. As a "sweet" fanatic married to a "salty" fanatic, it's always a struggle coming up with desserts that can be shared and devoured with equal gusto. These bars are the solution.
Caribbean Chicken
Comments (13)
Here's an inventive take on jerk chicken. The Pick-a-peppa sauce gives it some spice, while the pineapple gives it some sweetness. Top it with some Monterrey jack cheese, for a little creaminess as well. You could even make this into a sandwich!
Penne with broccoli, garlic, and pine nuts
Comments (7)
The title of this dish may be long but it is extremely quick and easy to make. It is a healthy dish that even your kids will love. You can also add grilled chicken.
Spinach And Prosciutto Topped Chicken Breasts
Comments (8)
Dress up boneless chicken breasts by topping them with layers of prosciutto, thinly-sliced tomatoes and fresh spinach, then sealing those goodies on top with a slice of melted provolone cheese.
Tiramisu
Comments (4)
This is one of my favorite desserts. Being part italian, I came to enjoy this treat.
Georgia's Cheesecake
Comments (3)
This is a recipe from my brother-in-laws family. This creamy cheesecake would be great topped with some fresh fruit or even some chocolate syrup...dessert to die for!
Cold Tuna Casserole
Comments (0)
This was my Father's take on a pasta salad. He would make this recipe for dinner and then we would take the leftovers for lunch. It was great on hot summer days when you wanted something cool, but still filling. This would make a great addition to any picnic or outdoor barbecue as well, just substitute chicken for the tuna, or leave the meat out completely.
