Quiche Lorraine with Caramelized Onions IS for Real Men!

April 18, 2011

I was 28 when I moved to Raleigh, NC from a suburb of St. Louis, MO. I had been married for just a couple of years when my husband was offered a management job with a telecommunications company and I was excited about the move. It was going to be hard to leave my young [...]

Golden Macaroni and Cheese with Caramelized Onions

March 31, 2011

I love KerryGold Butter. The difference in flavor is remarkable compared to the standard brand and I love to use it for special recipes.

Cincinnati Chili with Spaghetti and Cheddar Cheese

February 22, 2011

I’ve been nostalgic lately and not sure why but memories of my childhood and home and friends from the past seem to be flooding in lately.

Hamburger Baked Bean Casserole

July 13, 2009

A friend of mine sent me this recipe her mother-in-law had made for the 4th of July; they were a hit and I wanted to share the recipe. I used to make something very similar years ago but they didn’t have the mix of beans or the barbecue sauce so I’m looking forward to making [...]

Chili Relleno Casserole

April 15, 2009

I first had this dish at a potluck party many years ago where we gathered to watch a football game. I don’t have a clue who won or lost that game or even the people I was with; but I wanted the recipe bad so hunted down the person who made it that following week [...]
