cooking is my super power
This Chicken Tortilla Soup combines oven-roasted fresh tomatoes, garlic, onion and jalapeño peppers with rotisserie chicken and a flavorful broth. I published this recipe originally back in 2013. I had run across a recipe that was attributed to Eva Longoria. Since then the link I originally referenced is no longer valid. I’m not really sure…
Take my famous French Strawberry Cake and add chocolate chips instead to make this unbelievably decadent Chocolate Chip Cake. The title of my first viral recipe belongs to my French Strawberry Cake. And for good reason. I get so many photos and comments over on Pinterest about it. Probably my favorite comment of all-time about…
Salmon Risotto combines creamy risotto flavored with apricot, lemon and capers with perfectly cooked salmon for an elegant yet simple meal at home. Just because I don’t live on the coast doesn’t mean I can’t treat my family and friends to good fish. I started getting more comfortable fixing fish and shrimp at home thanks to…
Johnny Marzetti is an Ohio recipe which combines macaroni pasta with a ground beef tomato sauce, baked in a casserole and topped with cheese. Who is Johnny Marzetti? I actually did not grow up with my Mom making this classic Ohio recipe. Maybe it’s because I am not Italian? The Italian restaurant where this recipe…
Perfectly seasoned halibut combines with a quick pickled avocado salsa, shredded cabbage and a creamy white sauce for these Baja Fish Tacos that are simply the best. Just because I don’t live on the coast doesn’t mean I can’t treat my family and friends to good fish. I started getting more comfortable fixing fish and…
This recipe for Air Fryer Crab Rangoon brings the popular Chinese takeout dish to your home in a healthier way. I’ve been on a kick with using egg roll wrappers in my air fryer lately. So it makes sense to fill some wonton wrappers too. My favorite wonton appetizer to order from a Chinese takeout…
Perfectly grilled filet mignon steaks combine with grilled peppers and onions and Boursin cheese on toasted Brioche buns for these scrumptious Grilled Steak Sandwiches. Thank you to the Ohio Beef Council for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are mine alone. It’s really hard to beat a grilled filet mignon. Beef filet steaks sometimes get…
I grew up eating these Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies (my Grandma called them Tidbits). They are simple to make and delicious. I’ve always called these treats tidbits. It’s what my Grandma called them. She made them at Christmas. They actually have more butterscotch than peanut butter in them. It’s a tasty combination. Just five ingredients…
Homemade Air Fryer Egg Rolls will ruin you for the frozen kind. Filled with rotisserie chicken (or leftover pork tenderloin) these egg rolls are delicious! I made Air Fryer Southwestern Egg Rolls the other day. They were such a hit, I figured I should try a more traditional Asian-style egg roll. And boy am I…
Hobo Dinner Foil Packets combine ground beef, potatoes, fresh veggies, butter, garlic and Italian dressing for a quick and fun meal the whole family will enjoy. If you camp, you are likely familiar with hobo dinner foil packets. I’m kind of over camping myself. I like a comfy bed and indoor plumbing at the ready…
