Butterscotch Drop Scones

If you are craving a sweet treat, look no further.  I prefer these slightly warmed with a pat of butter… quick to whip up as well.

Melted Cheese Dip w/Tortilla Chips

I’ve made this so many times and with good reason.  Be prepared for cheese dripping down your chin and onto your top… your guests will hoard over this appy… greasy, smiley and satisfied.

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook

One of the best investments for your kitchen is a good old-fashioned cookbook.  A must-have kitchen staple.  I received The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, as a bridal shower gift, and find myself referencing it regularly.  For those times you need a quick conversion, clue on the correct temperature meat is to be cooked, or even the best way to boil and egg.

Chocolate Chip-Pretzel Bars

Expect the unexpected.  Not your typical brownie or blondie.  Pretzels, chocolate chips and sprinkles add such a surprising crunch-punch.

En Fleurs Champagne Cocktail

Sophistication in a champagne coupe.  Champagne and tequila are enlightened with the floral essence of elderflower liqueur and the sweet tartness of ruby-red grapefruit.

Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

Rich chocolatey-chocolate chip shortbread cookies won’t last long in the cookie jar.  Flakey yet dense enough to dunk.

Homemade Sweet and Sour Mix

Worth it, worth it, worth it… Make this up to a week prior to when you need to use it.

Open-Face Ham and Cheddar Sandwiches

Wonderful way to use any left over ham, or some thinly sliced Black Forest Ham.  Freshly cut apples and a side salad of green-leaf lettuces completes the meal.

Easter Peeps

Peep Chic… What to do with those Easter Peeps.  Seems they just won’t go away.  I have found them still nesting around the house come June!  Just a few leads that may help solve such an issue… For all of you sushi lovers, how about some Peepshi?  How about  Peep S’mores, Peepsicles or a Peep Sunflower Cake […]
