Whenever I would go to my friend’s house for a party, one of the dishes Marie always served was this outstanding fruit salad. It is filled with fruits that I had never heard of, nor eaten. Now if you’ve ever been to the Philippines, you’ve probably sampled them, but here in the U.S., you might […]

Egg Rolls
Way back in the mid 1960’s, as I was walking past my sister-in-law Helen’s mother’s house ,she came out munching on an egg roll that her mom Olga had just made. She spotted me and offered one to me . I enjoyed it so much I just had to have that recipe. I think I […]
Coq Au Vin
I used to collect cookbooks…you know, the kind they sell at Church socials and other fund raisers. Well, back in 2006, I was leafing through one of those books, and I came across this recipe. I decided to give it a whirl and here I am, 14 years later, sharing that same recipe. Thanks to […]
Collard Greens
If you’ve never tried Collard Greens, I recommend you give them a try. I’ve searched for the best recipe and so far, this is my favorite. I do add a few strips of cooked bacon for an extra smoky flavor.
Chop Suey
Years ago, I would clean houses to help support my children. Often, my clients would be cooking when I arrived. If it smelled good, I would ask for the recipe. This recipe came from one of my customers, a dear, sweet lady, Mrs.Vick. It may not be authentic Chinese, but it sure is tasty. It […]
Chocolate Zuccotto Cake
A good friend of mine was given this recipe and not being a baker, she asked if I would make her this chocolate zuccotto cake to bring to a family party. So off to the store we went to pick up all the ingredients. There were so many steps and all I could do was […]
Chicken Vesuvio
Juicy chicken, bathed in herbs, simmered in wine with capers nestled around the potatoes. (I double the wine/broth mixture as we like extra “sauce” to dip our Italian bread in).
Chicken Fajitas
If you’re looking for a Mexican style dish, bursting with flavor and succulent strips of chicken, look no further. The chicken is marinated at least 6 hours (overnight is best). The chicken only takes 8 minutes to cook, Then, add the onions and peppers, fry ’em up(for 4 minutes) and serve on tortillas with some […]
Chicken Enchiladas
I came across this recipe about a year ago and have made this dish several times. A special thanks to whoever put this recipe online. It’s a keeper! I believe the homemade sauce is what makes this dish exceptional!
Chicken Chow Mein
This recipe was given to me by my friend Huan many years ago. I used to tell her that her cooking brought joy to my heart, only to learn that her name, Huan, meant “Joy”. What a coincidence! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
