Greek Chicken & Rice Soup, also known as Avgolemono, is a wonderfully hearty soup with fresh bursts of lemon throughout.
As we head squarely into soup season this creamy delicious pot of love deserves to be on rotation.

My dear neighbor Pat gave me this recipe for How To Make a Giant Cinnamon Roll.
She thought of us when she saw it in a magazine and cut it out for me. It’s been laying on my desk patiently waiting.
The ingredients are quite basic, most well stocked pantries could handle. The instructions are straight forward, albeit there is yeast and resting/rising involved. However I’m certain most modest cooks could tackle this recipe.
Yet day after day, week after week, I avoided eye contact. What was it about this recipe that I was avoiding?

There’s quite the story that goes with this Loaded Baked Potato Tots Recipe.
Last week I shared what would be the first recipe in a new series called College Cooking. My 21 year old bonus-son and his roommates requested some recipe inspiration.

His words were, “This is THE Best Chicken Francese with Artichoke Hearts I’ve ever had!!”
That was good enough for me…
…so I made it for him again the next night.

Hands down Sweet Potato Eggs Benedict with Blender Hollandaise is my new favorite brunch recipe!

When you combine bananas with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips what else can you call them but Chunky Monkey Muffins.
(thank you Ben & Jerry’s for that)
Be honest with me.
When you see {Gluten Free} is that a turn off?

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!

Sweet rich Gluten Free Flourless Chocolate Cake checks all the boxes.
Chocolate lovers dream.
It’s like brownie meets fudge meets chocolate cake.
Every bite is meant to be savored and that I shall do.

I think we knocked it out of the park with these French Toast Breakfast Meatballs.
Since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day it was only fitting that before March Meatball Madness came to a conclusion that we come up with a Breakfast Meatball.
I stumbled on this idea quite by accident.

Italian Wedding Soup is one dish I could not give up.
It has to be the flavor packed tiny meatballs.
No…no, actually it’s the fresh spinach leaves and miniature pasta all bathing in wonderful homemade chicken broth. Oh wait, I’m certain it’s the final swirl of egg and salty Parmesan cheese that makes this soup near the top of my comfort food list.
