  • Stuffed Cabbage rolls

    First things first, for the people who are here for the recipe only…click on that ‘Jump to Recipe’ link above & enjoy. I see you 🙂 But at the same time, how nice and cozy does this sound? It’s a chilly, gloomy fall day. You’re in your comfy clothes, watching a movie on the couch…

  • Dad’s Homemade Buffalo Wing Sauce

    Did you grow up with a traditional pizza night every week? What about a wing night? Or maybe you combined the two. Brilliant. I definitely grew up on one favorite pizza shop (Penso’s, family owned in my home town and still our favorite to this day), but we hopped around when it came to visiting…

  • Lemon Meringue Pie

    With no family get together at Easter this year, because of the stay at home order, I wasn’t spoiled with my typical lemon meringue pie made by Grandma. So, I ventured out and made my own and I’m happy to report it went quite well! I may have done a take two with the meringue,…

  • Blueberry Lemon Crumble Bars

    I saw a meme today that said ‘Congratulations, you’ve made it to April. Welcome to level 4 of Jumanji!’ And isn’t that just life right now? The funny memes are a necessity to stay grounded, lighthearted and laugh a little; I for one am very appreciative of the people creating and sharing these! And then…

  • Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

    Back in the day, when it was relatively easy for everyone to get together at Grandma’s on Christmas Eve, you could show up expecting crab stuffed mushrooms, salad, lasagne and plain chicken wings for dinner and never be let down. It was our Christmas Eve tradition. Dad made the stuffed mushrooms for our appetizer and…

  • Chicken, Avocado & Pear Salad with Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

    The title of this post is a little long. I could have just titled it Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing, because that’s really the star of the show here. But then there’s this salad that turned out to be the perfect combination of ingredients to pair with the dressing and I couldn’t just choose one or…

  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    This will likely be the easiest recipe I ever post here and it should really be a staple in your household for that reason alone. Plus, the roasted potatoes are just so tasty! That’s from the caramelization magic that takes place during the roasting process. So good. Aside from using these potatoes as a perfect…

  • Healthier Green Bean Casserole

    Don’t get me wrong, I love the classic green bean casserole! But sometimes it feels good to swap the processed cream of mushroom soup and french fried onions with a homemade mushroom Alfredo sauce and panko crusted red onions. And what better time to jump on the healthy bandwagon than the last day of the…

  • Gingersnap Cookies

    What’s your favorite Christmas cookie? Do you have one? Or even better than that, what’s your favorite Christmas memory or tradition? My favorite tradition is our family’s annual cookie baking day that’s always the week after Thanksgiving at my Grandma’s house. It’s also where I have a lot of really fond Christmas memories. We started…

  • Pumpkin Drop Cookies with Maple Buttercream Icing

    Pumpkin drop cookies round two… See, the first time I baked these delicious cookies I nearly made mini pies instead by tossing in the entire can of pumpkin puree. Have you ever come across a cookie recipe that calls for an entire can of pumpkin? Me either. Sometimes I do things without really thinking them…
