Hungarian Mushroom Dill Soup

I’ve been on a mushroom kick as of late. Around Christmas time I baked a delightful Pork Welly – and Brian mentioned his favorite part was the mushroom shallot layer. Then, just a few days following, Valerie cooked us a delicious Mushroom Sherry Soup. Again, Brian commented on how he adores mushrooms and was hoping…

Spicy Chicken Mexican Lasagna

Lasagna always sounds good, doesn’t it? Layers and layers of goodness, sandwiched between the ultimate: cheese. Yum! It doesn’t always have to be Italian themed either, you know. I’ve been known to kick up some layers or entirely exotic flavors, making mouths water. And, this time, so I’m still living off my bounty of Melinda’s…

Stoneground Sweet and Salty Pizza Pie

Almond butter is truly amazing. It goes with everything ~ everything. Dark chocolate, sharp cheese, salt, sweet, creamy, crunchy…everything. Remember how in France I fell in love with the ultimate combo of almond butter, cheese, and chocolate? Well, now it’s time to skip the chocolate (or save that for dessert) and whip up a salient…

Easy Blackcurrant Jam

“Do you like to make jam?” he asked me. “How about blackcurrant bushes.” “Umm…I don’t know. Sure?” Last fall, as our yard was being landscaped, I was offered blackcurrant bushes for both the decorative, and homemade jam, culinary purposes. There have been very few times in my life when I’ve lived in an area where…

Buffalo Chicken Salad

My hubby absolutely adores Buffalo Chicken anything. Whether it be a buffalo chicken salad, a buffalo chicken wrap, a buffalo chicken sammy, or even a buffalo chicken pizza, he’s in heaven.
