Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
My grandmother’s recipe for the classic treat, this time-tested recipe rivals a Reese’s peanut butter cup. The recipe can be prepared in stages and makes enough to share! When I think of my grandmother, many things come to mind. She was full of life, funny and frugal, yet so very generous. This was a…
Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce
This meaty sauce is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The yield is a generous 3+ quarts, so there’s plenty to freeze or to share! Note: I updated this post with links to two complimentary recipes directly above the recipe card. Additionally, I have had several requests recently for recipes that are…
Chicken in Milk
It may seem like an odd pairing, but the milk tenderizes the chicken while the garlic becomes soft and sweet. Lemon adds bright flavor and the whole thing smells–and tastes–divine. Even as an adult, I anticipate my Christmas stocking every year. My husband always succeeds in finding a handful of gifts that are the…
OโBrien Irish Stew
This classic Irish stew was passed down from the decades old recipe box of an Irish friend. The tried-and-true recipe offers oven and slow cooker options, and the flavor improves over time, making it a great make-ahead meal. Most Americans think of stew as having a thick gravy base. But traditional Irish stew is…
Make-Ahead Granola Parfaits
This slightly different preparation yields surprisingly delicious results. Consider preparing several at one time, as the parfaits will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Ginger Soy Glazed Salmon
Sometimes, time just gets away from me! I have been meaning to make this recipe for months. Sonali of The Foodie Physician fame is a dear friend who happens to be a culinary-school trained ER doctor. It’s a unique skill set–one that promises a conversation with Sonali will always be fascinating. Knowing my love of salmon, Sonali…
Cuban Black Bean Soup
Hearty and wholesome, this soup is a favorite in my family for its incredible flavor. Delightful on its own, although the optional toppings add to the soup’s broad appeal. For years I, like many cooks, rarely measured ingredients. We eat a lot of hearty soups, salads, and one-pot meals in our house, and this sort of cooking…
Foolproof Peanut Butter Frosting
In our family, February is full of birthdays. ย There are three, all spread out exactly one week after the next. ย With Valentine’s Day thrown into the mix, there is ample opportunity for cakes and other sweet treats!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola with Quinoa
This has been the winter that just keeps on giving! Snow, bitter cold, freezing rainโฆrepeat! The kids have been off school so many days that even they don’t want any more snow days. They know they will have to make them up in June. Although I am ready for a little warm weather, I selfishly…
