Hi and happy spring! We made it through the cold and gray winter here in Kentuckiana. As all of the beautiful flowers start to bloom, filling our lives with color, I thought it would be fun to share a recipe that I like to make around Easter each year. It’s a creamy fruit salad that my family has lovingly named “Pink Harold".

Take yourself over to your local Farmer’s Market - pick up some heirloom tomatoes and make yourself a delicious, rustic galette!

Nothing announces the arrival of summer quite like a generous slice of fresh strawberry pie piled high with a mountain of fresh whipped cream. Here in Kentuckiana, strawberries are really in season starting in late June. Its always a fun time to go to the local family farm and go strawberry picking…

Many years ago I discovered this recipe at an evening of playing Bunco. Remember Bunco?! On this particular night, someone made tea sandwiches with the most delicious spread and I immediately fell in love. The combination of the creamy, salty, and nutty taste is the perfect trio of flavors. If you’ve never had it, give it a try!

Cinco de Mayo is just days away and how better to celebrate than with a yummy Mexican style cheese torte! During my catering years, I developed this recipe to serve as an Hors D’oeuvre and it looks and tastes fantastic when served with assorted crackers. The base is cream cheese, and with a few easy additions and toppings, it becomes a flavorful, colorful cheese spread. This dish quickly became a client favorite and was requested time and again.

For quite some time, I’ve heard about Sally’s brownies from my son-in-law. Sally is his coworker at United Airlines Corporate Office in Chicago. Among her other talents, Sally has earned the title of official brownie maker for their office, and also for her family and friends. Whenever there’s an occasion at the office for any celebration, Sally makes her famous brownies.

Happy Spring Y'all! I have been making this version of a pig pen cake for at least 40 years, after a neighbor shared this recipe with me in the 80’s. This cake is served cold, so it’s light and refreshing on a warm spring or summer day.

One of my favorite vegetarian salads is this Asian Ramen Salad. I love the crunch of the Napa Cabbage combined with the toasted sunflower seeds, sliced almonds and Ramen Noodles.

I have to tell you friends, not all corn dip is created equally. This recipe is a combination of all the best parts of several recipes, plus a little bit of my own spin.

This chocolate cake is a great way to celebrate Fat Tuesday and your sweet tooth - making this recipe seems too easy to be true! It starts with a cake mix and with the addition of a few more ingredients, it’s all mixed and baked in one 9"x13" pan. Couldn’t be easier and the chocolate frosting just adds another layer of decadence. Once you have tried this, let me know how much you enjoy it. I believe you will be making this again and again! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

These party sandwiches are best served warm, when the cheese is gooey and the buns are buttery and toasty. Treat yourself and your guests to these for your Super Bowl celebration. TOUCHDOWN!

If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth while watching your waistline, this is the prescription for you. There are literally only two ingredients you’ll need: a box of Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple. That’s it!!

Cheese, potatoes and ranch, oh my! I know there are lots of recipes for cheese and potato baked casseroles out there, but this one is just a bit different – a secret ingredient discovered through serendipity!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do - it has brought years of smiles and full bellies at many of our parties and holiday celebrations. May this recipe become a stand-out favorite for you and your family too!
