Rice Krispy Treats are a classic childhood dessert. It was a special night in our house when mom pulled out the ingredients to make a batch, and you can bet they were gone by the next day. I wanted to jazz up the classic recipe so I went on a recipe search. Up came this recipe that included peanut butter in the krispy mix, with a dunk in melted chocolate to finish it off. They are deliciously addictive.
Have you ever had a delicious Strawberry Banana Smoothie? I took inspiration from that and created this tasty recipe for Strawberry Banana Bread. To up the yum factor, try toasting this in a toaster oven or in a skillet with just a dab of butter. Strawberry Banana Bread Makes one loaf 1/2 cup butter 2 eggs 3 large very ripe bananas 1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream or 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking…
Quiche tends to get a bad wrap. Heck, even I wasn’t a fan of quiche, until I tried this recipe. Imagine a flavorful, creamy quiche filled with small pockets of cream cheese, bacon and Swiss. To describe it in one word: Heavenly. I have made this recipe, no joke, about 1-2 times a month for the past few months. I think I may be addicted. If you think you can handle the temptation, this would be a perfect dish to take for an Easter brunch…
Easter is almost here and with it comes (hopefully) better weather and more sunshine. If you are attending an Easter party or potluck, or perhaps are just in the mood for a delicious dessert, this recipe for Lemon Gooey Bars hits the spot. They are absolutely delicious! The bars have a chewy lemon bottom with a sweet, creamy topping. The bars are more sweet than tart, so if you prefer a more tart flavor, be sure to read the recipe below for additions you can…
My recipe for Chicken Pesto Pizza has got to be one of my most popular recipes. It tastes wonderful and impresses everyone who tries it. What is most great about it though, is how easy it is to make. I utilize pre-made pizza dough from a local chain, Papa Murphy’s. It comes already rolled out on a disposable baking dish for $3 / large. You can make your own dough or buy an already baked dough, if you prefer. I have tried all three options…
Unlike a lot of spinach dip recipes that use a vegetable soup mix, this recipe calls for leek soup mix. The flavor is amazing. I received a lot of compliments when I made this for a party. Best Spinach Dip Ever Makes one bread bowl dip 1 cup mayonnaise 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream 1 (1.8 ounce) package dry leek soup mix 1 (4 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1 (1 pound)…
Cornbread Supreme. Oh Lordy. I think we’ve made this dish 4 or 5 times in the last few months. It is so good. Especially with Calico Beans. Mmm. I think I may have to make it again this week. I’m getting cravings. If you haven’t had a cornbread casserole before, basically it is a very moist, rich cornbread. Feel free to halve the recipe if you have a smaller family. Cornbread Supreme Makes one 9″ x 13″ pan 1 (16 oz.) can whole kernel corn,…
