Egg Drop Soup Recipe

Posted on February 23, 2024 by Jane

I love good egg drop soup. Sometimes at a restaurant it’s oily and has an unnatural yellow color. No thanks!

So, I found this recipe and modified it a bit – I highly recommend it. I *love* white pepper – therefore I used more than in the below recipe but that’s up to you 🙂

As always – enjoy!

Mike is always scouring sites looking for ideas for meals. He saw shrimp fra diavolo and it reminded us of our fabulous trip to Italy – therefore – we made this last night. It was amazing and delicious and we wolfed it down 🙂

Mike cooked the shrimp in garlic and butter as he always does – after peeling and cleaning and butterflying. Yum yum!

Three parts to this recipe:

Cooking the pasta

Making the sauce

Cooking Shrimp

As always – enjoy!!

Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies

Posted on January 26, 2024 by Jane

I made these on a whim as I wanted something sweet and different. I have a bar cookie recipe I have been making for years and years. This? Way better! The browned butter is sooooo good! They stay nice and chewy and soft for days compared to my old recipe!

As always – enjoy!

Shallot, Mushroom and Herby Goat Cheese Tarts

Another amazing recipe discovered by my favorite guy 🙂 He looks up recipes, reads ingredients to me, and then bookmarks them for later use. I modified this recipe (as I always do!)

It is absolutely delicious 🙂 Would be great as an appetizer, or serve 2 with a salad.. Quite yummy!

As always – enjoy!

Eggs Benedict Casserole

Posted on September 23, 2023 by Jane

I am always on the hunt for a new breakfast recipe – we regularly have family over for big family breakfasts on Saturday mornings 🙂 I get tired of making the same thing and I’m sure the family gets tired of the same things! Of course I modified the original recipe! It was a big hit and much enjoyed so it’s now in the “Keeper” book – which means it gets published on my blog for everyone to enjoy.

As always – enjoy!

Lemon Coffee Cake Recipe

Posted on April 17, 2023 by Jane

I was in the mood for something lemony and this recipe was PERFECT! Yum yum yum!! Make the lemon curd the day before if you are making from scratch as it has to cool completely in the fridge before you can use it in the cake. I made my own as it’s not very hard – and it’s fabulous if I must say so myself 🙂
