I have received a bunch of requests for the recipe for the shells that I made in one of my earlier posts. I guess this was a bit of a blog cliffhanger but it I guarantee that it will have been worth the wait. Manicotti Shells Ingredients 6 eggs 1 cup milk 1 1/2 cups …

Stuffed Chicken Breast-It is what it is
In honor of my last blog, I thought I should share a really good chicken breast recipe. I love stuffed chicken breasts because they really are simple to make but still have a rich taste. The other thing I like about a stuffed chicken breast is it is exactly what the name implies, a stuffed …
The Picky Eater Part 2…The Evolution
I discovered, as I got older, if I did the cooking, I could control the content of what was being placed in front of me at mealtimes. The added bonus was that my mom, who was a good cook, didn’t really like to cook. She did like to clean up. So our deal was whoever …
Grandma’s Manicotti
Even though I was a picky eater as a child, there was one meal that always got me to clean my plate….Grandma’s Manicotti. It usually graced the table during the holidays or special birthdays. I didn’t appreciate back then that everything from the sauce to the shells was made from scratch. I did know it …
Race to Valentine’s Day Dinner

I received my weekly “erecipe” from Cuisine at Home (more on this publication in future blogs) on Thursday and my mouth started watering. It was for “Broiled Citrus Seafood in Bouillabaisse Broth.” It had everything I …
The Picky Eater…part 1
I was recently asked how does someone who grew up as a picky eater become a foodie? It really was an interesting evolution. I was really horribly picky. My foods couldn’t touch each other, they had to be the right texture, and, god forbid, there was anything green. I was the kid that had to …
Still learning…
Being that this whole blog thing is still new to me, I feel that I am still trying to figure things out to make it perfect. With that said, I should have posted the recipe for the artichoke/spinach dip. I came up with this recipe last year during the Superbowl when my husband, Earl, asked …
Super Bowl Leftovers
When I made the decision to start a blog, I had all of these grand food thoughts in my head. I was going to talk about rich sauces, new ingredients and creative new recipes. I never thought my first post would be about my Superbowl leftovers. As I always tend to do, I made way …
