Buffalo Chicken Tacos

I have a confession to make. I don’t really like watching football. But there are moments when I crave the type of grub you would find at any football party. Especially when it comes to the spicy and finger-licking goodness of buffalo wings. This recipe is a fun twist on the classic football favorite with [...]

Chicken Tetrazzini

I know its January, and I should be writing about salads and healthy items for everyone trying to stick to their New Year’s diet resolutions. Since I’m a believer that you can eat anything in moderation, then there is no need to feel guilty about writing this post. The idea for this recipe actually came [...]

Slow Cooker Chili

When I host dinner parties in the summer, it’s all about outdoor dining with foods that can be nibbled on for hours. In the wintertime, I like to serve heartier foods that can be baked in the oven or slow cooked in a crock pot. I really liked the idea of serving big bowls of [...]

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

I’ve been on a soup kick lately with the quest to keep things as simple as possible. What can be simpler than throwing ingredients into a slow cooker and letting the food do its thing? I recently had some leftover ham to use up. I thought making a big batch of split pea soup would [...]

This was the entrée for my Impromptu Dinner Party. The sun awakens from a restful slumber and shines its golden rays of light through the herbs growing in my kitchen window.  About a month ago, Brent’s mom gave me basil and a parsley plant because she felt our kitchen needed to be filled with some [...]

Roasted Rosemary Lemon Cornish Game Hen and Vegetables

This was the entrée and vegetable side dish for my Saturday Dinner Party. The aroma was intoxicating as I placed the large pan of golden game hens on the table.  I watched as he took a bite of the crispy skin and moist flesh.  He closed his eyes, chewed for a moment and swallowed.  Then, [...]

Slow Cooked Ham and Scalloped Potatoes

Have you ever played catch in your living room with a puppy while watching Food Network?   It’s really hard.  It’s especially difficult when you have an icy beverage in your right hand, a laptop balancing on one knee and a bowl of scalloped potatoes on the other.  It’s amazing how quickly Sophie has grown since [...]

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Super Bowl parties are not about executing culinary greatness.  They’re about football, beer, commercials, and whatever you can shove in your face.  I can’t tell you how much crap I got for posting a recipe that called for precooked meatballs, as I did with the Sweet BBQ Meatballs post.  I believe the phrase was, “Oh [...]
