  • Stuffed Strawberries

    Stuffed Strawberries

    Stuffed Strawberries Here is a cool, no-bake summer dessert – and it doesn’t even need Jello or Cool-Whip. These little guys are stuffed with a slightly sweet whipped cream and cream cheese filling. The cream cheese stabilizes the whipped cream, so the shelf life is much longer than for plain whipped cream. If you don’t…

    Fudgies… or No-Bake Cookies – A geographic and cultural debate!

    The proper name for these cookies is a matter of some debate in my household. My husband – and most of the country, as far as I can tell – calls these cookies “no-bake cookies.” In my family, these cookies go by one name and one name only – “fudgies”. My grandmother was a bona…

This batch makes enough icing to frost two batches of yellow cupcakes (recipe here). This stuff freezes well,…

As soon as sniffles are heard, we gather the ingredients to get this soup going. I consider this a “weeknight” chicken soup because the broth is not based on a homemade chicken…

  • Pico de Gallo

    Pico de Gallo

    I’m not a fan of cilantro, and I really dislike raw tomatoes, so I was surprised by how much I like this pico de gallo. It tastes so fresh, and the lime juice makes it nice and zippy. It’s great on tortilla chips, or dump it on fish tacos and chicken fajitas. Half of a…

    French Onion Dip- No soup packets required! I have included quantities for the measurement-inclined, but this recipe is easy to play with. You can caramelize shallots with the onions, add a clove of finely diced garlic with the Worcestershire sauce, or leave out the cayenne if you don’t want a little kick. This dip tastes…
