In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, when it’s said that everyone is a bit little Irish, I believe it’s appropriate to have a potato dish.

I believe you’ll think you have found your pot of gold when you eat a bowl of this wonderful soup, after all, its made with the luck of the Irish.

The taste of this casserole reminds me of eating a Croque Madame in France. Like the sandwich, this casserole is truly delicious and it’s a perfect dish for brunch. Since you can do all of the prep work the day before, it’s really easy to pop it in the oven when you’re ready. Add some fresh fruit or a small green salad along with your favorite beverage et voila, a wonderful meal ready to enjoy.

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.

This chocolate cake is a great way to celebrate Fat Tuesday and your sweet tooth - making this recipe seems too easy to be true!

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!

Hi Valentine! I absolutely love making treats to share with my neighbors and friends, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to give them a homemade sweet treat.

This recipe for vegetable soup is just a little different. If you like a good Bloody Mary, you are going to love this recipe. Bloody Mary mix in soup? Yes, I know it sounds odd, but it gives just the right amount of kick!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. It’ll spice up your lunch just fine.

A Ritz Cracker by itself is pretty tasty, but if you want to make it extraordinary, try this recipe. These buttery and spicy crackers are seemingly addictive! Serve with a dip or on a cheese and crudités tray. Magnifique!

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!

My love of scones started a few years ago after attending Afternoon Tea at the Drake Hotel in Chicago with a lifelong friend.

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!

The Hot Brown sandwich was created by Chef Fred Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky in 1926. It’s a wonderful open-faced turkey sandwich served hot with tomatoes, Mornay sauce and bacon. It’s a delicious treat and I hope you’ll enjoy it!

There’s a charming town in old Kentucky called Versailles that is home to the Wallace Station Deli. Their bakery case is strategically placed inside the entrance showcasing a variety of pies, scones, brownies, bars, and my personal favorite, their giant oatmeal raisin cookies. There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh baked goodies and let me tell you, it’s hard to leave Wallace Station without picking up some cookies for your trip home.
