smoothie in glass
Chocolate Monkey Breakfast SmoothieWe get tired of cereal or toast for breakfast. I wanted something quick and easy though. Everyone is so rushed in the morning. This is as quick as making a pop tart, but much healthier! My kids and I absolutely loved it. You've got to try this.

Savory Garden EggsWe have 17 chickens, and so eat a lot of eggs! I am constantly trying to figure out new ways to prepare them so it keeps mealtime interesting. These are loaded with fresh vegetables, and full of savory flavor. I added tofu hotdogs and Herbs de Provence dressing. That really took them over the top. Yum!

bread with topping
Apple-Nana BreadI like to add as many fruits to my baked goods as I can. This is chock full of bananas and apples, with crunchy peanut butter and pecan topping. Spread a little butter on your slice and enjoy. My kids went bonkers for it!

finished soup
Chicken Enchilada SoupThis is a recipe that I tried to taste like my favorite soup at a restaurant we go to. Surprisingly, it tasted better than the restaurant and now I can make it at home anytime I want it! My kids love this soup and we all fight for the leftovers.

seasoned steak
Herb and Garlic SteakHubby loves steak. I've never made a steak before in my life, but decided he deserved a homemade steak. This is what I came up with. He loved it, and he is hard to please.

Homemade Rolled CalzonesHomemade calzones are always a family favorite in my house. Especially when I had teenagers. They are always eating on the run. These can be eaten hot, warm or cold...they certainly didn't care. It's food!

meatballs on pasta
Swedish Meatballs in Cream SauceI was looking through a Cooking Light magazine and found this delicious-looking recipe. It did not disappoint. The original recipe calls for 90% lean ground sirloin. But turkey was on sale this week and that's what I used. It was still delicious. The family went back for seconds and everyone was happy. Gotta love that!

Alfredo SauceWhen I want some comfort food, this fits the bill. I've tried lots of alfredo sauces and was never quite happy with them. One day, I didn't have enough cream and used some milk. It turned out so delicious (and cheaper). My husband said it was the best fettuccine alfredo he had ever eaten. It's even good the next day. Most alfredo sauces break down and turn into a butter sauce when you reheat them, but this stays creamy. What a happy accident!

Fizzy Cherry PopsiclesI have been making a lot of popsicles lately and wanted to try something different. I thought that a Shirley Temple popsicle would be delicious.

Fresh Mushroom SoupThis is my mother's recipe for an extremely easy to make yet extraordinarily elegant mushroom soup. It only has a handful of ingredients and is very forgiving if you want to double or divide the recipe. For a recipe that has no need for heavy cream or chicken stock, it is surprising rich and delicious!

hot wings in bowl
Nana's Hot WingsThis is a shortcut to the best hot wings you've ever eaten! Our local Winn-Dixie has a wing bar special several days a week. I use the wing piece not the small drumstick, but if you have adequate time to spend even those are good. What you do is select the plain wings on special price day and bring them home to recook into Nana's hot wings!

scrambled eggs on plate
Sneaky Scrambled EggsSo my kids thought I was making them regular scrambled eggs for dinner. I decided to add a large yellow tomato and an entire half of a big yellow squash to them. I figured hey, it's all yellow... maybe they won't notice I'm trying to sneak in extra veggies. Cover it all with white cheddar and see what happens.

finished dessert
Orange Spiked Panna CottaOne night, my husband wanted a pudding-like creamy dessert but we didn't have anything on hand. We didn't have eggs or heavy cream either so I came up with this version of panna cotta. I spiked it with a hint or orange to make it more luxurious. It's pretty good for a dessert made of basic ingredients!

jar of paste
Tomato PasteStore bought tomato paste is quite tempting but the ingredients used to preserve it is very harmful to our body, so why not make tomato paste during the sale season and preserve it for the next 9 months in freezer? You can use it as and when required. You can use it in gravies, sauces, and quick chutneys.

Sesame Garden Fish BakeI had a bunch of fish in the freezer and veggies from my garden that I wanted to use up. This is what I came up with, and it tasted real good. :) The cool thing about this recipe is that you don't even have to defrost your fish before cooking!

Rhubarb Pie
Rhubarb PieWhenever I hear the word rhubarb, I always think of my grandma. She made pies every year no matter what. This recipe is the closest to how Grandma's used to taste that I can possibly get it. I have to say, it's really good. Hope you like it!

Crispy Carrot TopsIf you buy bunched carrots or if you grow your own don't throw out the fresh green leaves. They can be used to make a tasty crunchy topping or for adding to soup or casseroles.
