Cheeseburger Soup
Because of my busy work schedule, I usually don’t have time to watch much television, and when I do, it’s usually one of the few food programs I like to follow. One of them is Guy Fieri’s DDD, which is not only entertaining but full of delicious recipes and inspiration. One day I happened to…

Hot Rod Chicken Wings
I was a vegetarian for many years, but there were a few things that I would find myself drawn to during this non-meat eating time in my life. The two items were chicken wings and bacon…ok, not the most healthy of treats, but if you enjoy them sparingly, there is no harm in indulging. Today…

Hot Crab & Shrimp Dip
I consider myself a purist when it comes to crabmeat…Maryland crabmeat that is. What I mean by that is that less is truly more. The delicious sweetness and flakiness of this very special meat does not need much to enhance its flavor, so I keep it as simple as I can, even when I make…

German Pancake Soup (Flädlesuppe)
Whenever I have some time, I make plenty of stock and portion it out into containers and keep it in my freezer. I even put some into ice cube trays, so when I’m making a dish that could use a little more depth, I toss in a cube. I have shared my recipe for a…

Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Monkey Bread
Baked goods are my weakness, so it is no surprise to me that I ended up in the baking field. I have always loved to make cakes and cookies but bread baking as a career always seemed like such a chore. There is so much to think about when making bread products, like temperature of…

Killer Nachos
Coming from a family where a variety of meze on the table constituted a way of life, it is no surprise that on some days indulging in a variety of appetizers instead of preparing one large meal really feels right. Well, today was one of those days. I was hungry, but after the food induced…

Holiday Pumpkin Pancakes
Over the past 3 days we have managed to finish up the turkey, the ham, the stuffing, the sweet potatoes and the mashed ones too…we ate all of the dips, appetizers, the casseroles and the few veggies we squeezed in for good measure. We polished off the pecan, the apple and the pumpkin pies, and…

Moist and Sweet Pumpkin Roll
I had never had the opportunity to taste anything made with pumpkin until we arrived in the USA. After tasting all of those traditional baked goodies for the first time, I was hooked. During the holiday season, I always look for recipes where I can incorporate pumpkin or other types of squash, because it’s not…

An Adventure With Navajo Fry Bread
Imagine waking up on a lazy Saturday morning with your best laid plans in hand only to find that your dear old refrigerator/freezer has apparently met a terrible fate overnight and appears to have called it quits…for good. No amount of shaking or wiggling of cords or button pushing could re-awaken my sleeping Whirlpool beauty,…

A Proper English Cream Scone
By now, many of my readers know that I was raised in Australia, which for many years existed under British rule. This of course influenced every facet of everyday life from the food to our educational system. Even today, the country uses a parliamentary system of government where Queen Elizabeth II of England is also…

Delicate & Dainty Portuguese Tarts
Another great & simple dessert to make for the family at home or your special guests are these dainty little Portuguese tarts. I have never seen them in American bakeries, but came across several recipes for them on some of the blog sites that I frequent. One blog in particular is written by a lovely…
