Made the easiest and prettiest blueberry pie this morning to celebrate Fourth of July! Cooking the filling on the stove saves time and guarantees that your pie will turn out just the way you want it. Because you can taste it along the way, you can tailor the amount of sugar or lemon juice or…
I made an oldie but a goodie this week on Meal Time Monday, the chicken burger that won me $50,000 and started my run sharing recipes on the news! It’s a great summer burger with tons of flavor and a fresh, crisp slaw. I still love making this and watching people taste it for the…
Today I am sharing with you the salad of my adolescence. I can’t even tell you how many times I have ordered the BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad from CPK, but the fact that I still love it 25+ years after first eating it says a lot. This salad is delicious every time I eat it…
In honor of Father’s Day, I wanted to make a couple recipes my dad would like! Much to his dismay, and mine, I didn’t learn to cook until I left home. When I do get the chance to cook for him, he picks Veal Marsala. Chicken makes it a little more approachable, but this recipe…
Hot summer nights mean loaded pasta salads and fresh fruit salsas! Over the next couple months, I’ll lean on pasta salads like this one that feel more like an entree than a side. Eat it warm, room temp, or straight from the fridge. Potluck it or pack it for the pool! Mango or pineapple salsas…
Made the easiest Memorial Day menu this morning!! Little Mac Sliders, seasoned with an onion soup mix and slathered in Mac sauce were a hit! And the Red, White, and Blue cookies are chewy and chunky with dried blueberries, cherries, and white chocolate, perfect for any patriotic holiday weekend this summer. Make them, share them,…
It’s time for my favorite fruit picking season!!! Hurry to Eckert’s Orchard through this week to pick these sweet, luscious, ruby red jewels. Then Evan’s Orchard should have theirs ready! Every year I use mine for strawberry shortcakes, strawberry chip cream scones, ice cream, and as many fresh strawberry pies as possible. Everyone in my house loves the pie…
It’s not that often that my mom asks me to cook HER something. But when she is in town and I ask her what she wants for lunch, this hot grilled ham, Brie, and apple sandwich is at the top of her list. I love making it for her. Crisp, buttery cookies are also one…
Happy Derby Week!! if you’re hosting a party this weekend, heading to a tailgate at the races, or just feel like making something festive to share with friends or coworkers, I’ve got the perfect recipes! While I don’t love drinking a mint julep, I love a julep inspired dessert like these tiny pudding parfaits with…
We roasted 6 heads of garlic today in the Fox56 kitchen and between that and the bacon cooking, it has never smelled better. Roasted garlic is creamy, buttery, surprisingly mellow, and deep in flavor. Try it in Asa’s new favorite weeknight dish, Bacon Bowties, or in this salad dressing which is like a roasted garlic…
