You ever make something so easy and simple that when someone asks you for the recipe you just feel silly giving it. It's literally the easiest thing. That's how I feel about this Cheesy Garlic Bread. This bread is basically a staple in my house. If I make spaghetti, ghoulash, chicken alfredo pasta, or any other assortment of meals that are traditional staples - you can guarantee that this bread is being made too.

A good breakfast potato recipe just goes with everything! I've been perfecting mine for years, and I remember those earlier years where I would up with oily, … [Read more...]
Herb and Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits

My family loves a good biscuit, and my husband has been known to sneak a few refrigerated biscuits into our cart whenever we grab some groceries, so I figured it was time to try my hand at making my own biscuits with a savory twist. These definitely did not disappoint! I used … [Read more...]
Savory Crepes with Turkey, Mushroom and Swiss Cheese
Have you ever tried savory crepes? I've loved crepes since I was a little girl. Absolute LOVE. My mom would make them occasionally for a weekend breakfast and I remember how fickle they could be. She would fuss with the temperature and the first few crepes were duds until she got it just right. Once they were made, she'd fill them with cream cheese, cherry pie filling, and top them with powdered sugar. They were a mouthful of magic that I just couldn't get enough of! Recently my daughter … [Read more...]
Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt
A very special thank you to San Luis Sourdough® breads for sponsoring this recipe. As always, all opinions are my own! Sometimes I feel like I use the same ingredients over and over again, just in different forms. I guess it makes sense when you think about it, when grocery shopping we all tend to buy things we're familiar with week and and week out. I know one of my favorite snacks is some Italian Dry Salame with sliced pepper jack cheese. It's seriously the best. Now, my daughter RiRi … [Read more...]
Three Cheese Steak and Mushroom Panini
A very special thank you to San Luis Sourdough® breads for sponsoring this recipe. As always, all opinions are my own! I never met a grilled cheese I didn't like. True story. The same is held true for a melt. Or a panini. They are all essentially different types of grilled cheese sandwiches with different types of filling. But bread and cheese with a buttery golden crust. YES. Oh, yes. Definitely. Sign me up! There's not much else I love more than a grilled cheese, or a variety of one. Want … [Read more...]

Garlic Butter Shrimp Over Cucumber Radish Salad
Lately I've been doing a lot of cooking outdoors. We've really been enjoying the weather and our backyard, but today I decided I wanted something quick and simple to eat. I had picked up some fresh shrimp from the deli at one of my favorite stores and I'd received some Pure Irish Butter and Blarney Castle Cheese from Kerrygold as a part of their Loyalty Program, so I figured I'd try my hand and combine everything to create the perfect salad for dinnertime. I used the salted butter with some … [Read more...]
