About a year ago, my good neighbor brought me a shopping bag full of Brussel sprouts. I made blackened sprouts, bacon & maple syrup sprouts, buttered sprouts, and still had plenty.

Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies
It’s been over 50 years, and I still reminisce of my Mom making these cookies at Christmastime. She would add red food coloring to some of the batter and green to the next batch. Some she baked without color but ALL were decorated by us kids, with colored sugar or little silver candy dots. I […]

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.
Coconut Macaroons
It was always such a treat when we would visit Las Vegas and go to the buffets, where they have SO many desserts on display. I always headed straight for the coconut macaroons, my all-time favorites! Well, the last time we went, none of the buffets had the macaroons. I guess all of those fancy […]
