I don’t think I have a “go-to” app that I am known for. Well maybe caprese salad on crostini’s might be the one I make and bring the most. … Continue reading Cheeseburger Sliders
I love my family of foodies. My son called me Friday night to ask me what I was doing on Saturday. I guess he and his wife were going to go to a dumpling festival that ended up being cancelled. So they decided to make their own dumpling “festival” of sorts in my kitchen. I LOVE dumplings; I have made several different kinds and I … Continue reading Egg Rolls with Asian dipping sauces
I haven’t done a ton of cooking my Viking hood failed me after 20 years. It was a pretty crazy how it all happened.

All pictures are from my phone. Last night was a gastronomical experience; I think that is the only way to describe it. We met some friends at Stages … Continue reading Hawaiian BLPTS – King’s Hawaiian rolls
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving whatever you chose or were able to do! We had a very nice dinner with a few family members. It takes a lot of time to prepare for a large meal between thinking of what to serve, buying the ingredients, prepping, cooking and cleaning up after for a meal that takes less than 30 minutes to eat. … Continue reading Thanksgiving leftover sliders
Hope you are well and still healthy! How often do you take a look at what is in the back of your cupboards? Me not very often. Take in point I had bought duck sauce at the store quite some time ago.
