Difficulty: Easy
This recipe came from a family friend’s cook book. It is close to the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe and it is quite delish. Classic chocolate chip cookie with the addition of nuts and oatmeal flour, this makes a wonderfully chewy cookie that is just crisp on the outside and moist in the middle. The [...]

Southwestern Egg Rolls

Difficulty: Easy
I have had leftover egg roll wrappers from the Luau Salad that needed some attention. I thought making some sort of egg roll would be yummy but didn’t have the things I needed to make a traditional Asian egg roll. How yummy would Tex-Mex be? (Cue Bonanza! music) Southwestern it was. These are sooo [...]

Difficulty: Easy
While perusing fellow blogger’s food sites, I came across a nice looking recipe from Picky Palate. (Thanks for the inspiration Jenny!) The problem that presented itself to me as I was gathering the goods to make the dish tonight was that I was missing several ingredients. No matter, I thought to myself, I will [...]
Luau Salad

Difficulty: Easy but a bit of prep work cutting veggies
I had this salad for the first time last month at Cheesecake Factory. Love at first bite! It has the perfect combination of textures. An abundance of crunchy, fresh veggies, crisp egg roll wrappers, sweet mango and the dressing tie it all together. I came home [...]

Difficulty: Easy!
This was Sunday dinner thanks to Cooks Country magazine, just a few variations made. It was fast, easy and very tasty, Phil loved the olives in mix. Bright flavors with fresh ingredients that will appeal to all levels. I didn’t have fresh oregano and used fresh thyme instead, you can certainly use dried, just [...]

In April we celebrate 2 birthdays on the Gunnell side, my mother-in-law Susan and our son Camden, who would have been 2 this year. I saw this cake in Cook’s Country and have been wanting to make it forever! So, birthdays are the perfect excuse, right? Slight variations have been made from the original [...]
Granola

Difficulty: Easy
My friend Anissa posted a granola recipe that she and her family makes regularly, it sounded sooo good. I did not have all the ingredients on hand so I pared it down and made a simple crunchy and oh so satisfying granola. I am usually not a fan unless it is on my yogurt, [...]
Beef Stroganoff

Difficulty: Moderate (Due to time) Serves 6
This dish is sooo yummy and comforting. Classic Sunday meal when you have more time or if you don’t mind the 40 minutes to an hour required then dish it up on any weekday. Stroganoff classically has mushrooms in it, which my husband despises and I love. So I [...]
Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza

Difficulty: Easy
Now, I am saying this is easy because it is. But if the thought of making your own pizza dough sends you running out of the kitchen in sheer terror, then substitute store bought dough and we are back to the easy category. But, really, it is, just trust me. Once you get the [...]
