I have had these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies rattling around in the back of my head for several seasons. I am not really a pumpkin girl. I usually have a piece of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and then I am done for the year. The reason is I find pumpkin recipes heavy. I like more of a … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Corn Chowder With Shrimp
Don’t do what I did. I forgot my ingredient card for my chowder. Corn Chowder….with shrimp. Who does that? I have this terrible problem of forgetting something important when making a recipe. This time it was a main ingredient. I have wanted to make Corn Chowder With Shrimp for … [Read more...] about Corn Chowder With Shrimp
Chicken Soup
I was sick last week. I am pretty sure it was from going to the optometrist. The optometrist is in the same building as internal medicine. I am usually very healthy until I come into contact with a new environment. If a new hire came into the office and they caught something I … [Read more...] about Chicken Soup
Peach Ice Cream
Last week I posted another tart recipe. I wanted to get it in my little recipe book also known as my blog. I feel really good about finding a great recipe and putting my own take on it.

I think it may be the best salad I ever made, or so I thought. Then I had a reason to … [Read more...] about Chickpea Shrimp Bell Pepper and Parsley Salad
Plum Tart
I had peaches on my shopping list, because it is peach season. However, the ones I found did not look fresh or ripe, and had no smell to them. I am not sure what that is all about, but like a store-bought tomatoes there was no flavor. So what to do? I went through the market … [Read more...] about Plum Tart
Gourmet S’mores
Another chocolate recipe; no one is more surprised than I am, but when you find a fun recipe it needs to be memorized. It is really easy. Easy is my favorite kind of recipe. Since I can’t eat graham crackers or chocolate (they both contain soy), I felt compelled to write about my … [Read more...] about Gourmet S’mores
Chicken Pesto Pasta
I vacillated about publishing this post. I thought you may appreciate it or I might lose all credibility. Then I thought this is a peek into the way I live so I am posting it. Last week I made French Tarragon Chicken. In my opinion I thought it delicious, but clearly I made too … [Read more...] about Chicken Pesto Pasta
