Homemade Ice Cream In a Ziploc Bag
Homemade Ice Cream in a Ziploc Bag allows everyone to celebrate National Ice Cream Day! Get shaking!! Our first attempt at making ice cream in a Ziploc bag was the night I discovered Thin Mints in the freezer. It was late. For some reason we decided we couldn’t have one without the other.  The ice cream was a success.Â

Sweet Potato Crust Veggie & Pesto Quiche
I am smitten with this Sweet Potato Crust Veggie & Pesto Quiche. It has the perfect balance of savory (hello pesto) with a hint of sweetness. I’ve literally made five variations of it in the past several weeks, sharing it with friends & family along the way. Rave reviews from all of my taste-testers!

Chicken Tikka Masala
While Chicken Tikka Masala is most often associated with India, it’s actually one of Britain’s favorite curry dishes. Tender marinated chicken pieces charred and then simmered in a heavenly creamy, rich and moderately spicy sauce. Sometimes your tastebuds need (and deserve) a trip around the world.

Italian Meatballs {Great Big Italian Meatballs}
Italian Meatballs. Great. Big. Italian Meatballs. I’m not sure how it happened but Spaghetti and Meatballs has become an absolute favorite meal for me. And really, it’s all about the meatballs. I like them big and soft and full of Italian flavors like garlic, basil and oregano.

Chicken Marsala Meatballs for National Meatball Day!
We shall make Chicken Marsala Meatballs. Because TODAY is National Meatball Day! With the way I love meatballs, this food holiday is deserving of a celebration. A Meatball Palooza if you will. I have so many meatball recipes to share (and several I’ve yet to create) that we’ll need days to properly honor those perfectly packaged bundles of love. I shall call this celebration March Meatball Madness and share a meatball recipe every day for the remainder of the month.

Seafood Newburg and a Stroll Down Memory Lane
This Seafood Newburg recipe originated at Woodbound Inn. It’s like a stroll down memory lane. Home of one of my many dream jobs. It was one of several recipes that my sister uncovered in a misplaced recipe box. I could hardly wait to recreate it, and now that I have I can hardly wait to make it again. I’m certain the family is completely on board with that.

Cheesy Jalapeno Grits Casserole
I’m off this week. Off from work. My day job is running a door lock and hardware company. Strike that. My day job is motivating and hopefully at times inspiring my work family. Ultimately we all want the same, from work. It’s where we make our living, which funds our passions. This recipe has nothing to do with that. But I wanted to share where I am right now.

Roasted Garlic Bread Soup
We have a wonderful Used Book Store in town. It’s in an old home, so imagine each section in it’s own little room, most complete with quiet reading areas. On the day I discovered this Roasted Garlic Bread Soup recipe, Shelby and I went in opposite directions. If I recall she was looking for books on the Dalai Lama and I was in cookbook heaven.

Rosemary Ham & Swiss Savory Bread Pudding
My kid. I love her completely. Her hugs. Listening skills. Eye contact. Thirst for knowledge. Hugs. Witt. Sense of adventure. Genuine interest in what you’re saying. Having said that, there is an I want this now and my listening skills have gone out the window at this moment, because I want this now quality about her that I admire. Go get it girl. Which is exactly what she did last week. I’ll tell you more about that, after I introduce our newest savory dish. I made a bit of heaven. Rosemary Ham & Swiss Savory Bread Pudding…inspired by a Sunday’s with Shelby outing (which on occasion happens on a Saturday).

Sausage & Potato Soup {with Spinach & Bacon}
Sausage & Potato Soup with Spinach & Bacon could be the cousin of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. That however, was not at all my motivation for making this new recipe. Did I tell you the story of how we scored 30+ pounds of bacon and sausage?? Can you imagine the delight when this text message hit my phone.
