I have read about this wonderful 7 layer dip all over the internet as being retro. Well, this dip is new to me, since I never had it until I was in my twenties. When I first spotted this at a potluck, I was entranced. Everyone seem to gather around it, and it was devoured [...]

How to Make Homemade Jalapeno Poppers
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
My husband and I love jalapeno poppers so much. There is a restaurant here in the Orlando area, and the only reason we go is for there wonderful jalapeno poppers. Everything else on the menu is practically inedible, but the poppers are nearly perfect. They make them with fresh jalapenos. I have been afraid to [...]

This is a delicious dish perfect as an appetizer or main course. We had bacon wrapped shrimp at two of our favorite restaurants on our recent trip to Gatlinburg over the Christmas holiday. My son loved them so much, I decided to recreate them at home. They were too easy to make. All you have [...]
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Buffalo Chicken Wings
Monday, June 1st, 2009
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 [...]
Enormous Egg Rolls
Friday, May 22nd, 2009
These are better than any take out you will ever have. The spicy mustard recipe that follows is probably more German inspired, than Asian, but it sure is tasty with these egg-rolls. This is a combination of one of my husband’s dishes and my neighbor’s that I have improved on. My neighbor also made these [...]
