I love the combination of Chocolate and Salt. Earlier this year, while in California, I tried it for the first time as they were serving it with wine at a winery. It is amazing. As you are making, it seems the cinnamon will be overwhelming, but it's not. It, along with the salt enhances the taste of Chocolate. Make sure to use either Kosher or Sea Salt, as table salt is too fine and would

These bars are filled with deliciousness. Looking at them just makes your mouth water. They are sweet, salty and full of texture with the chewy blueberries, oats and Walnuts. You can use any fruit combination of your choice. The recipe was originally written with Apricots as the fruit. We love blueberries, so I decided to go with them on my first try.Just look at the fruit popping out - such

We have definitely been on a pasta kick lately. And boy, do we love this pasta. It's like a flavor explosion when it touches your tongue. Lemon Pepper, garlic, basil, pepper and did I say lemon?First you start with some Pancetta. If you don't have Pancetta, bacon will do. But Pancetta is so worth it...Fry it crisp..Enters the shrimp...mighty tasty with the pancetta flavor. (I won't use the

Summer is here, and there's nothing better than refreshing fruit on a hot summer day. This salsa recipe is absolutely amazing and addictive!!You could use any combination of fruit, or preserves. I used Sugar Free Strawberry. I also serve mine with Cinnamon Grahams, but to be perfectly honest, I could eat this right out of the bowl with a spoon and have no regrets.Enjoy....TerriFruit Salsa2 kiwis

This recipe is such a "go to" recipe for us. It is very easy to make, yet impressive. It only takes about 30-40 minutes start to finish. Here are the cast of characters:Lots of veggies in this dish. Green pepper, Red Pepper, fresh Mushrooms, Garlic and Green Onions. Yummy!!You can just taste the Basil and Lemon Pepper from here. Cajun Chicken PastaPasta of choice (I use Rigatoni)1 package

I can give you four good reasons for wanting to polish off a basket full of these: their tender texture, their resemblance to your favorite sour cream cake, the haunting flavor of poppy seeds, and the jolt from lots of lemon juice in both the batter and the icing. The key is to use fresh lemons, not bottled lemon juice. Enjoy!!For the Muffins:- 3/4 cup sugar- grated zest and juice of one lemon-

This cake is so sinfully delicious. I normally would not even try a cake without frosting. No Frosting?? It doesn't need it. This cake is better the next day, but who wants to wait to the next day, not I. Here is the cast of characters.....It's very simple...you throw all the ingredients together in the bowl except the chips and mix thoroughly. Now comes the good part.....Add those chips,

I love Salmon!!  This marinade is a perfect combination of sweet and spice.  Don't let the Red Pepper Flakes fool you, for the vinegar and sugar provide a perfect balance.  The key is letting the Salmon marinade overnight.  Salmon is so easy to prepare.  I use a grill pan, lightly oiled.  Grill about 6 minutes on one side, and 4 on the other.   Grilled Alaska Salmon Marinade1/2 cup peanut oil (

Needless to say, it's been a while since I've blogged.  Hubby and I have been on a serious diet getting ready for our Italy trip, and well, taking pictures of my Healthy Choice meals would definitely not be appetizing to you.  So, tonight I decided to conquer a Risotto recipe that I've had for quite some time.  Everyone thinks Risotto is difficult to make.  Actually, it is very easy, just time

This recipe came from a Chocolate book my husband got me for Christmas. He keeps asking me when I was going to make something from it, so today was the day. These cookies weren't your normal soft chewy cookies. They were thin, crisp and not overly sweet. They may have lacked the sweetness due to the recipe calling for bittersweet chocolate, which I didn't have on hand. I used semisweet chocolate

This is my first attempt at a Souffle!! I've never understood what all the hype was about it......that is until now. Every now and then, I watch Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network Channel. I've seen the episode with this souffle on several occasions, so I finally decided to make it.It has this wonderful chocolate hazelnut filling on the inside that just melts in your mouth. See the chocolate

I guess if I post it, it's not a secret anymore!!! DH has been begging me to make these, so today it was. It's a gloomy day outside, but it felt like a great summer meal. Ribs, potato salad, and a chocolate souffle for desert. (potato salad and souffle will be posted this week!!) I've only given this recipe out to one person......until today. What good is a secret recipe anyways!!Living in Texas

This is a recipe I've not tried before. It's from the Silver Palate Cookbook. It features your typical pizza ingredients - sausages, mushrooms, and tomato sauce - baked together under a pizza crust. It's very simple, and you can definitely adjust the ingredients to what you like. We almost thought of it as a pizza lasagna.

This one is very simple, but very good. The dressing is lite....but the crunchies put the salad over the top. I've had many different versions, but this one is our favorite.If we have it by itself, I usually chop up some grilled chicken or bake some chicken tenderloins, chop them up and throw them in. Leftovers are not good....the crunchies lose their crunch.Chinese Salad1 pkg shredded cabbage1-

Some time ago, I wrote this recipe down in my notebook from the internet. I have a very bad habit of filling my notebook with recipes, but never trying them. So, I pulled this one out this week and it proved to be a winner. Very easy to make, but definitely satifies that sweet tooth gooey chocolate craving. This will absolutely be a keeper!!!Smores Bars8 -10 whole graham crackers1 pkg fudge

These eggrolls are not your typical eggrolls. They are Southwest Eggrolls. I love anything with Cumin in it. I'm not a vegetable eater at all, but there's something about these. It just doesn't seem like veggies in it!!I don't make these too often, cause it is a little lengthy process, but they are so worth it. You can double the recipe, freeze, and bake just as needed. Also, you can fry them,

This, my friends, is the BEST Lemon Cake ever. It is adapted from Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Parties cookbook. I've tried both her original version (this one), and her yogurt one. The yogurt cake is good, however, no comparison in texture to the original.The secret to the cake is spooning a lemon sugar syrup over the cake right out of the oven. This soaks into the cake, keeps it moist, gives

I'm unsure where I acquired this simple, sinful recipe, however, I am quite sure that this is the most requested by my husband anytime he has a sweet tooth. It is so rich, but irresistable. It's by far the easiest dessert to whip up. The hardest part is waiting the 6-7 hours to let it sit and meld before serving.Chocolate Eclair2 pkgs Graham Crackers2 3oz boxes vanilla instant pudding2 cups milk1

This is by far our favorite Roasted Chicken. It's simple, elegant, and bursting full of flavor. I can tell you that I've tried many recipes, but this one I go back to EVERY time. The chicken will baste from the inside out!! It's from Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. Only 4 ingredients. I think you will love it too!!(I'm new with the food photography...feel free to leave
