This is an easy “throw it in the crockpot frozen” meal that I make when I need something i can throw together fast in the morning for dinner that night. I like to use my home-canned tomatoes, but you can use store-bought – just use a 15oz can of crushed or petite diced tomatoes in […]
Recipes
I love recipes. I have a cookbook addiction and I probably get 6-7 cooking magazines every month. I love food, and I love great recipes. Here you’ll find some great options to put a quick meal on the table, or a great recipe for Sunday dinner or entertaining. I live in a fairly rural area, and our grocery stores don’t promote gourmand tastes. Simple ingredients, great and easy techniques, lead to fabulous meals. Give them a try and please feel free to leave a comment!

Russian Tea Cake Cookies
I find it interesting that these cookies are known by a few names. Along with Russian Tea Cakes, some call them Mexican Wedding Cookies. Dead easy and SUPER yummy! Enjoy
Cherry Almond Crisp – 3 WW Points Per Serving
I was craving something sweet tonight – and with not much in the way of bad for me stuff in the house – I put on my thinking cap and came up with a Cherry Almond Crumble. Maddie and I had a cherry crisp at a local restaurant this summer that was to die for […]
