I found several variations of this recipe on Pinterest (cause’ that’s where all the groovy recipes are). I eventually settled on Kleinworth & Co. version. Why?.. well they had the best picture of course so they must be the best, turns out I was right! You can use fresh or frozen blueberries and I’ll just bet you…

BBQ Chicken Soup with Cornbread Croutons
Soup with a twist and a secret ingredient…I LOVE secret ingredients! I’ve never heard of BBQ Chicken Soup until I had it at SODO Kitchen, a lovely restaurant located in the Seattle Starbucks Headquarters building. The food is fresh from local Farmers and the staff is lovely! The Catering Manager was nice enough to share this recipe…
Artisanal Crackers with Olive Oil & Rosemary
Artisanal Crackers with Olive Oil and Rosemary – Flour, olive oil, water and rosemary are the backbone of these delicious and incredibly easy to make crispy crackers! You would pay a fortune in a gourmet food store for these. Get your cheeseboard ready…there’s a new cracker in town :). We love how easy these are…
Jelly Donut Muffins
I’ve been making these for years. The recipe is from my favorite cookbook of all time. The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook. They are called Raspberry Filled Cinnamon Muffins in the book but they are so tender, like a donut, I changed the name and the filling! I am not sure, but I think this was the…
Magic Cake – One Batter, 3 Layers!
The first time I tried to bake this I killed it, I mean that literally …a total disaster! I shouldn’t have been near an oven that day, let alone a European recipe that I didn’t understand! After I put the cake in the oven and was cleaning up, it was not a big surprise to…
Slow Cooker Sausage, Mushroom and Orzo Soup
Spring is in the air in Seattle (well as much as Spring can ever be in the air in Seattle), so I thought I’d get soup out of my system until fall! This can be prepared stove top or slow cooker. Slow cooker works a little better because the sausage has time to marry with the…
Salmon Cakes – Lightened Up!
I’ve been reposting some of my prior recipes so I can improve the photo’s, and in this case I am reducing the fat while I am at it! See my previous ugly photo and fattening recipe! This is a rendition of Ina Gartens Salmon Cake recipe. Like a lot of her recipes she is heavy on the…
Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
I love secret ingredients! Something that makes a recipe really different and stand out. The secret to this soup is… a bottle of beer! Beer instead of broth, now that’s my kind of recipe! (especially if you throw this together in the morning and take a little taster before dumping it in the pot..who doesn’t like…
Lemon Crinkle Cookies – Made with Cake Mix!
I have this pretty amazing kid. Ya, I know, spoken like a Mom, but I do, I do, I really, really do! She is 23, (where did the time go) and she has always had a very natural instict when it comes to cooking and food. She was 5 when she fell in love with Pesto…. so much for…
Skinny Caeser Dressing
Personally, I love Blue Cheese Dressing…Marie’s Blue Cheese Dressing to be exact. However, there comes a time when you have to make a change for the sake of your waistline and arteries….and up until now, I really couldn’t find anything that was a decent substitute. But this stuff is good…really good! 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil in…
Skillet Pasta with Italian Sausage
Another Skillet Dish recipe! The working girl (and guy) has gotta love these. One pan, a few common ingredients and dinner is on the table. I adapted this dish from Country Cooks magazine. A subscription I sometimes love. Not all their recipes works for me, which is a bit bizarre since the entire premise of…
Super Buns! – The Easiest Homemade Rolls Ever!
When I first saw this recipe I was convinced it wouldn’t work. But what kind of bun lovin’ woman would I be if I didn’t try it! They were not only great, they were bunalicious! Who wouldn’t want perfect buns? Remember my recipe for Sweet Sexy Dinner Rolls? Well these taste just like ’em only they…
Turkey Breast Wrapped in Prosciutto
With our little family of 3 (well 4 if you count our dear daughters boyfriend who we love to feed!). This is a perfect size Holiday meal, in fact, I plan on making it on non-holidays it was so tasty and easy! Some helpful hints: Buying the turkey breast: You can get turkey breasts, bone…
Skillet Italian Chicken with Orzo
I’ve noticed a re surge of the one pan dinner lately. Love the idea! Great for weeknight and a bit healther than the Hamburger Helper I remember as a child…but boy, did I love the Cheeseburger version! I love the idea of everything in one pan and bam, your dinner is done! What I don’t like…
Panini 101 – Make the perfect Panini! No Special Equipment needed!
You can use this basic recipe to make homemade Panini’s that are as good as any fancy sandwich shop or restaurant. I used fresh Mozzarella, Pesto and Roasted Red Peppers for a Caprese style Panini. I substituted Roasted Red Peppers instead of traditional tomato because I think it adds a lot more flavor and tomato’s can make your…
