Thanksgiving Hello?? [Tap..Tap]…Anyone out there? I know it’s been awhile……are you still there? I haven’t forgotten about you…really.

French Silk Pie
French Silk Pie I’ve been making this recipe for many-many years, traditionally for my brother on his birthday every year since we were kids.

Turkey Jarlsberg Salad
Turkey Jarlsberg Salad A bridal shower for my nephew’s fiance brought this family favorite back to the table.

Buffalo Wings – Baked
Buffalo Wings – Baked to Crispy Goodness I love a good buffalo wing and I’m choosy in how I like them. They must be crissssspppy, well seasoned, lightly coated, and have a spicy buffalo sauce without being saucy. They must-be-crisp. No soggy rubbery wings for me. Oh, and baked…no need for greasy fried wings. Here…

Easy, Skinny Chicken
Easy Skinny Chicken I make this chicken at least once a week because it’s so easy and can be made so many ways to change it up. Even though this has consistently been part of our weekly menu, I discounted it as something to post because it was so simple. Well hello! As I shared…
