APPETIZERS Viva Fiesta! This traditional Tex-Mex queso is made with creamy & smooth Kraft velveeta cheese. I like to elevate my “queso” by using fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeños & a bit of white wine. If you’re a purist, you eat this molten liquid gold, as is, with seasoned tortilla chips. If you are feeling adventurous,…
BREAKFAST Happy Easter!! These pancakes were on the menu at our blended family Easter Brunch. I tested out these pancakes on the hubs last week and he loved them ~ they are loaded with shredded carrots, banana, coconut & pecans. I topped them with cream cheese frosting, syrup, more coconut and a Lindt mini chocolate…
SIDES I was introduced to this tartar sauce by a work colleague many, many years ago. It has been my go-to condiment for fish and shrimp, ever since. It is so easy and tastes so much better than store bought. Try it and let me know what you think the next time you serve fish…
DESSERTS These sweet and savory treats are effortless to prepare, and an Easter tradition in our house. Simply melt white chocolate bark, and add peanuts, crushed pretzel sticks & pastel mini marshmallows. I sprinkled them with Fancy Sprinkles for a little bling.

EXTRAS I can’t adequately describe how lovely this breakfast made me feel. So simple ~ a 7 1/2 minute jammy egg sprinkled with salt flakes and a low fat milk butterfly pea superjuice powder latte. I used my Nespresso for the hot milk. And, how about my plate & tea cup? My mom had friend from England…
ENTREES This pan meal is outstanding. The caramelized veggies, tender salmon and fluffy gnocchi made for an especially easy and delicious meal. You should thank me profusely for making this, and for working the bugs out of the prep for you. I used purple cabbage, colored bell peppers and green onions. This one here is…
SIDES And, now carrots…After all my strawberry recipes, here’s something totally different. I served these with my Asian Anticuchos a few weeks ago & the hubs really liked ‘em! The tahini sauce I created for these guys is fab! What are you waiting for? Make these carrots, STAT!!
WINE & SPIRITS You didn’t think I’d get through this strawberry extravaganza w/out posting a cocktail did you???I used my Vanilla & Thyme Roasted Strawberries as the base for this refreshing cocktail. The lemony & minty tones of the thyme was perfect for this cocktail. Just muddle a spoonful of roasted strawberries, add a squeeze of…
