Gift Ideas for Guys
Guys are really difficult to make gifts for as they don't really go for most of the sewn and crafty items that we gals like to make. I have yet to see any guy actually wear an apron while grilling, but most will be delighted with a gift of something for the grill. Here are …
Carole’s Fantasy Cookies
I love to bake, and cookies are always fun. I came up with this recipe some time ago, and it never fails to please! As a warm-up to the Christmas in July event, here is a recipe for your Holiday Cookie Exchange. The combination of dark chocolate, sweet vanilla and tart blueberry blend very …
Garlic Zucchini
Looking for a flavorful side dish? This one is fast and simple, and is perfect served alongside the Italian Meat Loaf, or one of my many chicken recipes like White Wine Chicken and Mushrooms or Butterflied Baked Chicken. Start by cleaning and slicing two or three zucchini. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet sprayed …
Italian Meat Loaf
I have been seeing this idea on Pinterest, and it was intriguing. DH likes meat loaf, but he loves Italian food, so I thought I'd try to do one. I followed one of the recipes I found, but you all know me, I have to fiddle with it and make it just that much better. …

Starting with the Formula One race in the morning, followed by the Indy 500, and ending in the evening with the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, it is all day racing! Even though Nascar has become …
Vanilla Blueberry Tea Cakes
There are times to make something wonderful from scratch, and there are times that a few shortcuts yield just as yummy results. Recently I had a lovely luncheon with a few friends and I wanted to make something dainty and sweet. But, with all the things I wanted to do, I needed a shortcut for …
Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken
My husband would rather not eat chicken at home since he orders it out a lot. But, sometimes I want chicken, so I had to come up with a new recipe for him to enjoy. He loves sundried tomatoes, so I decided to combine these two flavors into one dish. Here is a stuffed chicken recipe. …
Homemade Guacamole with Green Onions
Today is Cinco de Mayo, which for our country is a great excuse to eat Mexican food (and maybe have a Margarita after work, LOL). I love avocados, but the guacamole you get in a restaurant is usually full of raw white onions, which I don't like. So, I have a recipe for my own …
