Golden Carrot Cookies
My Mother gave me the Betty Crocker Cooky Book for Christmas 1967, when I was 14 years old. I have used this book for a ‘few years’ and for the first time I noticed how Cooky was spelled. I have always spelled these delights as cookie but Merriam Webster says it can be cooky or cookie.
Golden Carrot Cookies are like a carrot cake in a cookie with a delightful orange glaze on top. While some of…

Air Fryer Salmon Bites
Salmon Bites have been on my to-do list for some time. I finally did it and the results did not disappoint. The crispy morsels of salmon were delicious hot and cold for lunch the next day! Unfortunately, I did not have the makings for a sour cream/caper or dill sauce so sweet chile sauce had to do, and it was perfect. I think the grandkids would enjoy this with a simple ranch dressing.

Creamy Lemon Feta Zucchini Orzo
One bite of Creamy Lemon Feta Zucchini Orzo is like a taste of spring. I added diced cooked chicken for protein to complete the meal but this would also be a great side dish. Next time I will add asparagus to the dish, completing the springtime theme. This is a new favorite and so quick to make!

Clementine Butter Cookies
Clementine Butter cookies are amazing, or as one family member said, ‘these are addictive’. I didn’t even use the orange liquer! I decided to roll the rough into balls then flatten them (vs. rolling them out and using a cookie cutter). Either way, these cookies are worth making. They were gone in a couple of days with kids, grandkids, etc.

Banana Breakfast Cookies
There is nothing easier for breakfast that an oatmeal breakfast cake (like Maple Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars or Breakfast Cake) or these Banana Breakfast Cookies. The recipe made 9 cookies. I froze 4, refrigerated 4 and, of course, ate one just to be sure they were delicious!

Sauage Ragu
Sausage Ragu is a family favorite. We made this recipe for the first trip during the COVID lockdown when we took Zoom cooking classes with Chef Lucas of Italy. When we are hungry for pasta, this our go-to recipe. The red wine colors the sausage a darker color but the taste of this sauce is heavenly. The left-overs are just as good and we now double or triple the recipe so we can freeze sauce for…

Green Chicken Enchilada Soup
What a quick, easy and delicious soup! Temperatures were bitterly cold in Colorado when I made this soup. It came together in 30 minutes or less and was delicious! What an easy dinner for a busy family night. I’m thinking this soup would freeze well, if there are any leftovers!

My Father’s ancestral roots are Czech and Slovak. I’ve always been interested in the ethnic foods of these regions and love trying the foods that they may have eaten. Kapustnica mean Sauerkraut Soup and is often served on Christmas Eve as well as throughout the winter months. Imagine the ingredients of these foods were preserved for use during the winter months. The soup is smoky and a bit sour…

Healthy Banana Bread with Honey
Banana Bread is always a winner and I have tried many. My go-to Banana Bread is moist and delicious; my Christmas verision with maraschino cherries and chocolate chips is a family favorite, and I enjoyed this version made with honey. Honey is a precious commodity in my home, so I will routinely opt for my other two recipes, but know this version is also delicious.

Honey Mustard Salmon Bake
The Honey Mustand Salmon is so delicious and will remain a favorite recipe with or without the vegetables. I had several vegetables on hand, including leftover roasted brussel sprouts, that I used in this recipe. I like roasted radishes, but if that is not your thing, you could easily replace with sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, etc. A one pan meal is always a great way to prepare a…

Oven-Baked Pork Chops
Oven-baked pork chops are so quick and easy…why haven’t I tried this before? I love the thick cut (or Iowa chops) at Costco and frequently cook them in the crock pot. On this particular day, I thawed the pork chops and forgot to put them in the crockpot in the morning. What to do…well, this recipe was perfect. The pork chops came out so juicy and tender. I served the chop with yummy roasted…

5-Ingredient Cheesecake Thumbprint Cookies
These delicious cheesecake thumbprint cookies are so delicious. Daughter, Megan, found this recipe and used apricot vs. the suggested raspberry jam. Any jam would work and for the chocolate lover, a few of those as well. One last bit of sugar before the New Year diets begin!
