I first made these a few years ago for my sister-in-law's baby shower. The were a huge hit, but somehow the recipe got buried in my mass of kitchen paper and was forgotten until I was searching for tea sandwich ideas. Voila! Perfect! The curry is very subtle, even folks who claim not to like… Continue reading Curried Chicken Crostinis

Italian Cucumber Crostinis
I first enjoyed these little appetizers at my cousin Shannon's house. Crostinis are perfect for a tea time delight because they fit neatly on a small plate and require no utensils. These are quick and delicious. Certainly not your mother's cucumber tea sandwich. I mixed the cream cheese and seasoning packet together and let it… Continue reading Italian Cucumber Crostinis
BBQ Sauce

There are much more complex recipes out there, but since I use this whenever I'm basting things for a long time (like in a crock pot), I don't bother with a lot of fuss. BBQ Sauce 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2… Continue reading BBQ Sauce
Split Pea Soup
My mom has made split pea soup as long as I can remember. The giant pot simmering away on the stove would waft deliciousness all day. Is there a better smell than ham cooking? When I got a hankering for her amazing soup and called for her recipe, I got the bad news. There is… Continue reading Split Pea Soup
Perfect Dinner Rolls

The recipe for these rolls is pretty time-consuming - only because you have to allow it to rise three times. You don't really have to do anything with the dough… Continue reading Perfect Dinner Rolls

However, in an effort not to become completely bored to death with turkey sandwiches (my standard lunch fare when trying to drop a few pounds) - I went searching for something new. I stumbled upon this… Continue reading Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich Filling

You can also use spinach, tomato or herb tortillas for a festive platter. Make them the night before and let the flavors blend overnight in the fridge. Slice… Continue reading Perfect Party Pinwheels
Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels
I've had this kicking around my recipe box for a few months now and decided today's Star Wars Marathon was the perfect time to make it. I mean come on -- you can't tell me these don't look like Leia's spiral buns from "A New Hope"...right? The really great thing about these is that you… Continue reading Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels
Artichoke Spinach Dip
Apparently I'm in the mood for all my favorite restaurant foods. As I am dealing with somewhat of a post-Christmas deficit in my bank account and cannot go out to eat, I'm recreating them at home. Artichoke Spinach Dip is pretty much a perfect food in my opinion. If I could get away with eating… Continue reading Artichoke Spinach Dip
