Deviled eggs never seem to go out of style. They are a great hors d’oeuvre to make for a casual fare or an elegant cocktail party. I like to jazz mine up a bit with bacon and chives. Mmmmm…Recently we served them as an appetizer with […]

Pancakes with fresh strawberry sauce! Divinely delicious! So you get to cheat and use Bisquick or whatever your choice of instant pancake mix is. Take these would be ordinary pancakes and make them into something weekend worthy. Strawberries are still in season and can be found […]

Sangria I say! The beauty of Sangria lies in the fact that in spite of being exotic and delicious, it is incredibly easy to make. There are thousands of different recipes. No joke! Almost every restaurant has it’s own “secret sangria”. Through trial and […]

I am addicted to my prosciutto wrapped shrimp salad. I made it 5 nights in a row…I can’t stop eating it. I had this salad at a restaurant and came home to attempt it myself. I think it’s a success! You be the judge…it’s very easy […]
