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".

If you have a sinful sweet tooth and love peanut butter and chocolate, then do I have the recipe for you!! A super simple recipe for a quick, homemade dessert.

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.

Do YOU like fruitcake?? Have you ever asked someone if they like fruitcake? The reaction most people have is “Thanks but no thanks.” However!! I was introduced to this no bake recipe abut 40 years ago, and it’s unlike any fruitcake I had ever tasted. Once I sampled it, I was hooked, and I have been making it ever since.

Ok, I admit it, I’m a Fall Fanatic! It's my favorite season of the year without a doubt and nothing says fall to me like pumpkin bread. This particular recipe was introduced to our church community in the 1960s by our associate minister’s wife. My mother made this recipe so many times over the years, it’s naturally named "Mom’s pumpkin bread.” One of my fondest memories is sharing a piece (or two) with her whenever she baked it. Trust me, I have tried lots of pumpkin bread recipes, but this one is my absolute favorite. I know you will love it too.

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

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.

This spoon bread is a true Kentucky original and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Berea, don’t miss a chance to experience the Boone Tavern Hotel and Restaurant!

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.

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!

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!!

As we approach the last days of 2020, I thought it would be appropriate to end with a celebration drink! This recipe makes a lovely, icy cocktail with orange juice, lemonade, tea and Amaretto. I recommend topping off with a lemon-lime soda or ginger-ale and garnishing with sliced fruit and maraschino cherries. Drop in the straw and you’re all set to party!

One of my earliest memories of making cut-out sugar cookies, lovingly called “cookie cutters,” was with my mom and brothers during the holidays. Over the years, I have collected many different cookie cutters from boutiques and shops both local and abroad. I love using them, because it always brings back so many amazing memories. My wish is that you will take this recipe, gather these simple ingredients, and create some memories in your kitchen with family and cookie cutters. Happy Holidays!

This fresh cranberry salad is a treat during the holidays and has become a tradition for our family. Bright and tangy, this recipe serves a crowd, so it's perfect for any large gathering. An amazing combination of cranberries, oranges, pineapple, apples and walnuts, it’s an explosion of tastes and flavors your family is sure to enjoy. Make sure to get a good portion during the first round of helpings, because it’s only around once a year!
