Flayed Witches Fingers (Ham and Asparagus Roll Ups)
One of my favorite party appetizers involves pickled veggie wrapped in cheese and meat. These Flayed Witches Fingers are easy to whip together with all store-bought ingredients. I used a jar of pickled green beans I got from my mom-in-law, but you can easily use jarred asparagus from your local supermarket. Slap some softened cream… Continue reading Flayed Witches Fingers (Ham and Asparagus Roll Ups)

Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna
Sometimes, it's really awkward to be a food blogger. I always feel really silly when I'm at a party taking pictures of food. But, since some of the best things I make are taken elsewhere to be consumed, I really don't have a choice. So, I whip out my trusty Canon and snap a couple… Continue reading Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna

Clone of a Cinnabon
I used to love Cinnabon. Really, I still do. I just can't afford them anymore. Financially or physically. For a playoff Sunday of football, I figured I could make an exception. At least on the physical part. These are exactly like the real thing - and a dozen don't cost anywhere CLOSE to $30. Best… Continue reading Clone of a Cinnabon
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
This recipe started with a Baileys and Chocolate Cheesecake recipe I found. I have never made a no bake cheesecake because I very much enjoy the baked kind - and I've heard all kinds of stories about no-bakes not setting up right. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try. I intended to make it… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
Cream Cheese Mints
I had big plans for today. I had shopping to do - places to be. In the midst of making my grocery lists, my little boy got sick. So, I was stranded in the house all day with limited ingredients. The pumpkin pie poppers I'd planned to make will have to wait until I can… Continue reading Cream Cheese Mints
Thumbprint Cookies
I love this recipe for an old standard - thumbprint cookies. I have always hated the "thumb" part of making thumbprint cookies - my thumbs are not anywhere near the proper shape. Reshaping the imprint halfway thru baking with the back of a measuring teaspoon makes for nice even round hollows to fill with delicious… Continue reading Thumbprint Cookies
