Cucumber Salmon

January 28, 2013

At half time, just before Beyonce performs, you walk into the living room with your new appetizer. The room, wanting more of your delicious food, turn their heads to you, their eyes following your every move. Hesitation sets in. What is it? Will it be good? Staring awkwardly at your creation, the room is silent. Your toughest critic, the 12 year old cousin who hates all food unless topped with ketcup, gets…

Pulled Pork Pockets

January 24, 2013

Hi! My name is Colleen, Brian’s much younger sister. He asked me to write up a post about my delicious pulled pork pockets to share with the world. I saw this recipe on TV one day and it showed it with chicken (which you can also use). But I decided to use pulled pork. I cooked the pulled pork the night before in my favorite BBQ sauce and used Pillsbury…

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

January 21, 2013

For the long weekend, my parents, my spoiled 8 eight year old puppy, and myself, ventured up to our lake house in New Hampshire. Brr, it was cold, even Siri knew it! I saw this recipe for the roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese croutons on Pinterest, and had it sitting in my back pocket for a few months. Saturday night, we wanted to make a healthy, hearty, warm-your-heart kind of…

Pecan Pie

January 14, 2013

I’ve never made – let alone tasted – pecan pie. The first time I tasted pecan pie was last week. It was delicious! I was hooked. Side note – this was supposed to be for a bake off at work and I failed to remember the date. Being that it was my first time making this dish, I went a step further and created my own. Nuts, you say? Maybe. …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake

January 7, 2013

I am a huge fan of cookie dough. Cookie dough ice cream, raw cookie dough from scratch, those little cookie dough bites you find at the movie theaters – I can go on and on! But I think my sister is a bigger fan of cookie dough, which is why I chose to make her this cake. Oh by the way, she turned 21! Cooking runs in the family, and…

Turkey Meatballs

January 1, 2013

For this lovely appetizer, I’ve taken my turkey burger recipe and created turkey meatballs. I know how original?, but they taste delicious! We use this recipe for everything. I love how moist the meatballs are when they come out of the oven. They are perfect. Let’s get cookin! We’ve been using turkey meat for just about all of our meals. Bacon, chili, tacos, you name it. We tried making these…

Cake Cookies

December 15, 2012

They’re not cakes. They’re not cookies. They’re Cake Cookies! This recipe would fool Buddy Valastro and Cookie Monster, as it did to myself. I never knew how popular cake cookies were until I came home to find Fatima and Eileen making these delicious sweets. The best part about this, is you only need 3 things (Cake Mix, Eggs, and Oil. Fatima said the recipe for Cake Cookies was on the box…

Shrimp Spring Rolls

December 12, 2012

Every family gathering is not a family gathering unless my aunt Helen brings her delicious egg rolls – a recipe that I have unsuccessfully been able to get out of her… Regardless, these egg rolls bring smiles to everyone who sees them. I thought I should try to find a recipe that switches up this family favorite. Enter the shrimp spring roll. These do take up a good amount of…

Winter White Sangria

December 10, 2012

Note: If you’re going to make this sangria, make it 4-24 hours in advance to let the fruit marinate. The longer the better 🙂 I needed a sangria recipe for the holidays, and I wanted to try something a little different. The Fall Sangria is delicious. It’s full, has body, is sweet, won over our friends, but was not a hit with the older adults in my family. I made this sangria…

Toffee Shortbread Cookies

December 6, 2012

Sweets! Much like the salted caramel donuts, these delicious toffee shortbread cookies offer a sweet and salty flavor to any party setting. I thought these were very easy to make. Believe it or not, the caramel topping was harder to make than the shortbread. A coworker gave me the recipe for these cookies; after reading it, I knew I had to make these Toffee Shortbread Cookies! Most of this time…

Orange Stuff

December 3, 2012

It’s not a family gathering unless Auntie Jean brings her famous Orange Stuff. I had to beg and plea with her in order to get her to share the secret recipe. Usually, we ge this twice a year, more if we’re lucky. Thanksgiving and Christmas – this year, it made an appearance at my Dad’s 50th Birthday. Once the orange stuff is presented at the table, it’s only custom, among…
