  • Ruth’s Wedding Cookies

    My Aunt Ruth usually had these delicious bites around many times when we stopped by for a visit. Ruth’s version of Mexican wedding cookies are also known as Russian Tea Cakes or Italian Butter Cookies. They are a very delicate shortbread like cookie. Her original recipe had an hour baking time at 250 degrees. To…

  • Glazed Salmon on Green and Orange Salad

    Good Seasons used to make a nice make-it-yourself Asian salad dressing. Sadly I can never find the Asian flavor or Cesar at any of the grocery stores in the area. I used the dressing from an Asian spinach salad recipe and omitted the OJ. Source: unknown 4 (5oz) cooked salmon fillets 1/3 cup Asian Ginger…

  • Ham Egg and Cheese English Muffins

    Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. I just love breakfast food. My mom used to make these for us all the time even on camping trips. I love my egg with a slightly runny center.

  • Bourbon Chicken

    This recipe for bourbon chicken should be called “virgin” bourbon chicken because there is not an ounce of alcohol in the recipe. Which is the reasoning behind my choosing to make this version. I admit I was a bit nervous about the outcome as I read the ingredients list; ketchup, apple cider, soy sauce, apple…

  • Cranberry Apricot Granola Bars

    I love hiking. Stephen and I used to go all the time before we had kids. Before Mason was born I scored a brand new unused Kelty backpack for $10 at a garage sale. We used it until we moved to the valley, where hiking trails are not as convenient, and we had another baby.…
