A classic carbonara is made with delicious prosciutto and parmesan. However, carbonara is classically a frugal dish in Italy, and prosciutto is pretty expensive in the States. So, I was trying to reinvent this as a frugal American dish, and trying to combine my husband’s Italian heritage, and my Southern. This dish married the two [...]

This is a delicious takeout dish that will not make you feel guilty afterwards. I added alot more broccoli than you get in the restaurant to make it more healthy and colorful. You can eat as much of this as you want, and will not feel bloated afterwards. I love to make my own versions [...]

This is a super chocolaty delicious cookie. The toasted pecans compliment the rich chocolate cookie very well. I made these for my family and they disappeared very quickly. I am a pecan lover. My Granny had pecan trees on her property, and every year we would gather as many as we could, minus the ones [...]

Every Friday, or every other Friday is pizza day at our house. Not take out or any of that frozen stuff, I take the time to make everything from scratch. It really makes a difference, especially when you take the time to prepare the dough the day before. This pizza was a result of cleaning [...]

These are a delicious family recipe. This is the method that my mom, grandmother, granny, and her mother, and her mother made biscuits. I can only assume that this method that has been passed down in my family came from a time when no one had rolling pins, or thought to cut a biscuit out [...]

This is my favorite side dish to make, especially on busy weekday nights. It is so tasty, and my family eats so much of it, I either buy the large bunch of asparagus from Sam’s or from the grocery store. We eat it like candy. This is definitely the best way to cook asparagus. Use [...]

These cookies are absolutely fabulous, and slightly healthy because you add oatmeal and dark chocolate, right? I love oatmeal cookies, nut I am not crazy about oatmeal raisin, so these are a big hit. My son also loves them. I tried so many different ways of making oatmeal, but the only way he will eat [...]

This is an old favorite of my family. My husband first came up with the idea of ham, pineapple and jalapeno peppers when he was working in a Pizza Hut in high school. He made this pizza for the Sunday lunch buffet. It was a big hit. I convinced his later to change from jalapeno [...]

This is a delicious variation of the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie. Currants are so much tastier in the oatmeal cookie. The little currants are full of flavor and compliment the cookies very nicely. My mom made lots of oatmeal raisin cookies when I was a kid, and I absolutely love them. I am always trying [...]

This was my first attempt at spaghetti squash. It came out really delicious. The fresh ingredients are definitely the key. I did not even do any research into the spaghetti squash, except for how to cook it, before diving into this recipe, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it came out. Initially I [...]

Buffalo wings are a classic American appetizer. They are loved by many people, and the method of cooking is greatly debated. In my home, the one thing we can agree on is that hot wings should always be fried naked. Never breaded, steamed, baked, or roasted. Really, hot wings are already not the healthiest thing [...]
