This is a Betty Crocker recipe from one of those Betty Crocker magazines at the grocery checkout stand, but the recipe is also here. This bar is super rich, so a little goes a long way. I found, at least with our oven, that it took longer to cook, and I let it stand for [...]

Dilled Chicken Fricassee with New Potatoes and Asparagus
Published by October 27th, 2007 in 5 Stars, Easy Preparation, Heart Healthy, One Pot, Poultry and Quick and Easy. 2 CommentsThis recipe comes from the May 22, 1990 issue of Woman’s Day. This was one of my most favorite recipes my mom made when I was in high school. I loved it so much that for over 4 years I’d been asking her to send me the recipe. She never got around to it, and [...]
I once again had some overripe bananas on the counter. Trying to figure out what to do with them, I remember a recipe I found and gave to a coworker. My coworker made the bread and said it was wonderful, so I gave it a try. I’m not a fan of nuts in baked goods, [...]
Bev’s Classic Baked Ziti and Meatballs
Published by October 25th, 2007 in 4 Stars, Beef, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Italian, Kid Approved, Pasta and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsIf you live anywhere outside the Northeast, you probably don’t know what Baked Ziti is, and if you do know what it is you probably haven’t had really great Baked Ziti. There are few things I think Italian restaurants do better in the Northeast than anywhere else, and one of those is Baked Ziti. These [...]
French Bistro Night
Published by October 23rd, 2007 in 4 Stars, Poultry, Salad and Sides. 0 CommentsWhen our kids are sick usually I do not plan nor do have any desire to prepare a project dinner. Yesterday we had one sick child and it was cold and rainy out, so we were house ridden. I was starting to go a bit crazy being stuck in the house, and since the sick [...]
Pasta with Spinach and Ricotta Pesto
Published by October 21st, 2007 in 5 Stars, Easy Preparation, Italian, Kid Approved, Pasta, Poultry and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsOne of our children is a veggie eater and the other is not. The whole family loves pesto, so when I came across this pesto recipe I thought we should give it a try. It substitutes spinach for the basil, and we all know that spinach is quite nutritious. The non veggie eater doesn’t know [...]
Rustic Tomato Soup
Published by October 20th, 2007 in 5 Stars, Bread, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Heart Healthy, Italian, Kid Approved, Soups and Chilis and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsNothing says fall like grilled cheese and tomato soup. EtE asked for soup and sandwiches for dinner (he’s had that at preschool and liked it). So -s decided to make homemade tomato soup. I take no credit for this recipe, except for chopping the garlic and rosemary. The soup turned out excellent and is kid [...]
Chili
Published by October 17th, 2007 in 4 Stars, Beef, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Heart Healthy, Kid Approved, One Pot, Poultry, Soups and Chilis and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsOne thing I love about chili is that anything goes. I’m no purest when it comes to chili, so I will not enter the debate of tomatoes or no tomatoes, beans or no beans etc. I threw this chili together tonight, not exactly having a plan, and it turned out really well. -s even said [...]
