Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
I don’t know what it is about these pizza rolls, with all the same ingredients as a slice of pizza, that is so extra yummy. My daughter who has pronounced spaghetti to be her all time favorite food and never a huge pizza fan, last night declared pepperoni pizza rolls her new favorite!! That’s why…
Hammy Eggs
Do you have leftover Easter ham that needs to get used up? Try Hammy Eggs! I have always loved “Popeye Eggs,” which my college roommate used to make for us…which is a piece of bread with a hole in it, where an egg gets fried in the center, baking itself into the bread. Thanks Tracy!!…
Chicken Skewers with Coconut Rice and Ginger Peanut Sauce
One of my kids’ favorite meals. Chicken Skewers with Coconut Rice and Ginger Peanut Sauce is a crowd pleaser! It’s easy. Healthy. And the Peanut Ginger Sauce has a kick that makes it the perfect dipper. The coconut rice compliments the rest of the flavors wonderfully! We serve it with simple snap peas, sauteed in…

It’s the fresh goodness of spring combined with comfort-food crust. Perfect combo! I love cooking with vegetables that are in season. It’s nature’s way of bringing us balance. Spring…
Cheesy Enchilada Crepes
When I created this dinner, I was in the mood for saucy, Mexican flavors. But I also wanted the light, creamy, cheesiness you get in lasagna from cottage cheese (or ricotta.) I decided crepes would be the perfect avenue for these flavor combinations to meet. With the light, fluffy texture of the crepes, the creaminess…
Mini Spaghetti Pies
I’m craving these yummy mini spaghetti pies as I write this. They were dee-lish! They made awesome leftovers as well! I was looking for a way to add a little more protein to our spaghetti, without adding meat. Being a fan of cottage cheese and learning the health benefits made me realize it was the…
