This is a creamy, delicious topping for the Italian Baked Chicken Cutlets

Low Carb Nut Based Granola
This recipe has been adapted from a few different similar recipes. I was looking for an ideal low-carb breakfast alternative to eggs that tasted good. I kept changing the recipe until I arrived at the recipe below. If it doesn’t suit your tastes then experiment with...
Instant Pot Chili
I found this recipe years ago and never got around to making it until earlier this year. I wish I would have made it sooner as it has become our new favorite chili recipe! I made this recipe exactly according to the original several times. We also made it using dry...
Instant Pot Chicken Potato Corn Chowder with Bacon
This was a recent find that we enjoyed. We have a mixture of folks in our household who have different tolerances for spice/heat. We were able to tweak this recipe to make it work for us by leaving out the jalapenos, however, for some of us the result was a bit bland...
Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs
This recipe uses a trick I borrowed from Internet Chef Guga to help make the skins more crispy. The trick is to pour boiling water over the chicken skins before you cook them in the oven. The boiling water helps to make the skins more crispy when they are cooked....
Sloppy Joe
These were always a tasty and quick favorite!
Easy Homemade Rice Pilaf
Yes, we’ve used Rice-A-Roni as a quick side dish with meals from time to time. It was always a compromise of making something that was quick and that everyone would eat. But we would much rather make something from scratch that isn’t processed. When we found this...
Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Frosting
Growing up my kids were big fans of cinnamon buns, especially Nicole. At one point we decided we wanted to try making them ourselves. Over fifteen years later I am still making them at least once a year. We love to have these on Christmas Morning after opening our...
Nut Snowballs
One of Grandma Lucy’s most popular Christmas Cookies.
Pound Cake
As much as I loved Grandma Lucy’s Pound Cake, I have not been able to duplicate it exactly. Perhaps that is due to the recipe that we have being different from exactly how she made it. Or maybe the difference in ingredients, or other factors. While trying to duplicate...
Baked Buffalo Wings
We enjoyed watching the TV show Hot Ones. A few years ago, Nicole bought me a set of sauces used in the show in a particular season. We wanted to host our own little Hot Ones party (see included pictures) so I looked around for a good recipe for baked wings that we...
Lakeview Bakery Style Crumb Buns
Lakeview Bakery was a bakery on Parsippany road in Parsippany, NJ. They closed several years ago, but anyone who had the pleasure to visit the bakery over the years knew how delicious their pastries were. Dad used to go up to the bakery on Sunday mornings from time to...
Cookie Press Butter Cookies
These cookies were always part of our Christmas Cookie tradition when I was growing up. I used to love to make them with my mother, and eat as much of the dough as I could get away with. Several years ago I found a cookie press kit on eBay and couldn't resist...
Ice Box Cake
Another holiday favorite! We used to make this every year when the kids were younger. It is so rich, creamy and delicious! If you are looking to make a “home run” desert look no further. Just remember, this cake is at its best when it has had a chance to sit in the...
Pound Cake
This is Grandma Lucy's original pound cake recipe. For years, we would go over to her house after dinner. She would always serve espresso with this pound cake.
