Glazed Almonds
Glazed Almonds are irresistible. You’ll love it when everyone thinks you bought them and you proudly announce you made them yourself! I like to bring them out after dinner; but there’s no law that says you can’t munch on them before dinner. Wrap a batch of Glazed Almonds in cellophane […]
Spiced Pecans
Spiced Pecans are so addictive, I have to triple the recipe whenever I make them. My husband is addicted to nuts so I make a special stash just for him. These crystalized nuts tease the appetite with cocktails and satisfy the end of a meal as dessert. Sprinkle them on […]
Roasted Turkey Breast
A rolled Roasted Turkey Breast is perfect when you don’t want to roast a whole bird. It’s easy to prepare; and is delicious hot or cold. I love using the leftovers of a Roasted Turkey Breast for sandwiches or a Chef’s Salad! Even your dark meat devotées will find it […]
Green Salad with Arils and Pecans

Chocolate Cheesecake
This Chocolate Cheesecake is a chocoholic’s dream! It’s so rich and dense that you can truly serve a crowd from one cake. That extra whipped cream and chocolate shavings in the middle take it over the top. For those of you who prefer a basic but fabulous cheesecake, clink on […]

I use Beefsteak tomatoes, crushed canned tomatoes, tomato juice and tomato paste to produce the deep and rich flavor of this Cream of Tomato-Vegetable Soup . It is definitely a […]
Pasta with Pesto and Roasted Peppers
Pasta with Pesto and Roasted Peppers combines so many of our favorite foods ie. roasted peppers , pesto and Parmesan. I love all pasta but with this recipe, I like to use a pasta with ridges because the ridges give the Pesto with Basil a place to latch onto and […]
Carrot Soup with Chives
Carrot Soup with Chives is a light, smooth, and flavorful soup that is at its best when served chilled. As with any recipe, the result is only as good as the ingredients you use. I use large organic carrots to make this Carrot Soup with Chives; because they have more […]
