I love to curl up with a delicious bowl of soup, especially through the fall and winter months. This soup is great for anyone that has a busy life and needs a quick, warm and welcoming meal. The smokiness of the sausage mingles with the other ingredients and herbs to create the perfect, savory flavor.

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

Chicken, pork and beef oh my! It’s Kentucky Derby festival time, so let’s make some burgoo.

Swiss steak is a dish I have prepared for most of my adult life. For a young cook, this was an easy dish to make and it turned out perfectly every time. What a blessing to be able to prepare a few ingredients in the morning, place them in the crock pot and have it ready to serve for dinner after a really busy day!

A lady’s hen party is always a great place to get a new recipe. This recipe for Fiesta Chicken is just that. My friend shared this with me about 8 years ago and I have been making it ever since.

I created this lasagna recipe for my catering business and it became my most requested dish. It’s relatively easy to prepare and not made the traditional way. It’s sure to become your go-to lasagna recipe!

Thanksgiving is just about here and if you’re like me, you’re already planning what special meal you will be preparing. This year (for me and my husband), I will be making my delicious turkey breast in the crock pot with gravy! As you know, sometimes the white meat of the turkey can turn out dry, and who wants to take a chance when serving this special meal to your family and guests? Cooking it in the crock pot is easy and the meat is predictably juicy. Another plus in using the crock pot is that it will free up the oven and stove top space to make your other favorite Thanksgiving dishes such as stuffing, sweet potatoes, and of course, green bean casserole! It’s so perfect that I may never cook a turkey breast any other way. Enjoy and have a happy Thanksgiving!

I love to treat myself to a piping hot bowl of savory chili on a windy fall day. My secret ingredient is taco seasoning mix instead of chili powder. I use elbow macaroni instead of spaghetti noodles because it’s easier to eat and a lot less mess. I serve it with sour cream, cheese, corn chips and a splash of hot sauce for a little southwestern spice. Whatever you decide to eat with your chili, I hope you’ll enjoy this hearty, comforting recipe.

A taste of Rome! So often we think of pasta and tomato sauce when we think of Italian cuisine, but this dish is from the heart of Italy - a true Roman classic.

It’s the time of year when fresh vegetables are in abundance, and summer squash and zucchini seem to be most prolific. Not everyone enjoys squash the way I do, but even if you don’t love squash, you must try this great recipe. It’s guaranteed to be a squash hit!
