Fresh Peach Pie

June 8, 2020 by Debbie 15 Comments

Nothing says summer to me more than a fresh peach pie! This is such a simple recipe to let the sweetest summer fruit shine . The hardest part about this recipe is peeling and slicing the peaches. While you can used canned or frozen peaches nothing beats a good ole summer ripened peach. This time of year I can walk into a super market and smell the peaches, I just can’t resist them. Another great recipe using fresh peaches is my Peach and Cherry Amaretto Crisp, it’s so good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Easy Baked Ziti

May 31, 2020 by Debbie 14 Comments

This Easy Baked Ziti is one of those meals all busy Moms should have on their dinner rotation. I am just like the rest of you , I’m chasing my tail trying to keep order in our crazy life. Doing all this plus put dinner on the table at the same time. I have been making this dish for many years and this is what it has evolved to. Back in the day when I had all three boys playing baseball I would make this up and instead of throwing it in the oven I would put it in the fridge. When we got home I would toss it in the oven and once everyone showered dinner was ready. No drive thru dinner but it was still fast.

Old Fashioned Pea Salad

May 22, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

I am going to be completely honest here, when I was younger I was not a fan of this Old Fashioned Pea salad. For as long as I can remember my Mom , Grandmother and Aunt has always had this salad at a family holiday or event . Then BAM in my later teenage years I finally tried it and loved it. I mean what’s not to love about old fashioned pea salad. It’s cool and creamy. The sweetness of the peas mix with all of the other savory ingredients is just fabulous. If you love cool and creamy salads in the warmer months you must try my Strawberry Lemon Coleslaw.

The weather in southern Louisiana has been on 70’s and beautiful! This time of year on the weekends we are either boiling crawfish or barbecuing. We use any excuse to sit outside and soak in the weather , this past weekend was no exception. This Zesty Pasta Salad supreme is one of my all time favorite salads. Seriously, I will usually hide the leftovers in the fridge so I can nibble on it for a few days all by myself. This is one of those salads I never grow tired of and make it several times a year.

Grand Mimosa

May 4, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

A Grand Mimosa is just a plain ole mimosa brought up a notch with a shot of Grand Marnier. Here in the south we look for excuses to serve mimosas. While we have them on special occasions like Mother’s Day, wedding showers , and holidays we also have them just because it’s Sunday . I mean you can’t have Sunday brunch without a refreshing Grand Mimosa .

Tuna Noodle for Two

I love Tuna Casserole but my family doesn’t have the same feelings about my ultimate comfort food. I am all about using what I have on hand so I was digging around in my pantry and came up with this simple Tuna Noodle for Two. This is the perfect serving for two people or one and save a serving for later. During this stay at home order I have had this for lunch a few times and it is so comforting . This is made mostly from pantry items and the box meal can be replaced with what is on hand.

Key Lime Ricotta Cookies

April 16, 2020 by Debbie 14 Comments

These Key Lime Ricotta Cookies are my latest baking comfort food. Like the rest of the country I find comfort in baking and eating what I bake. I find it fascinating what people are buying and hoarding. I haven’t been able to buy flour and yeast in weeks , those items just fly off the shelves . Don’t even get me started on cleaning products, luckily I keep my cleaning supplies pretty well stocked but I am starting to get nervous, lol. So back to this cookie, I took a really basic fluffy ricotta cookie and gave it a tangy sweet flavor of key lime. I just love anything that is full of citrus flavor.

Banana Oat Muffins

March 25, 2020 by Debbie 2 Comments

These Banana Oat Muffins came to be because I am trying to stay out of the stores and use what we have on hand. What crazy times we are living in. I have an autistic son that eats a banana everyday for breakfast and he isn’t happy with me for not having fresh bananas. Sure hope these muffins will replace his morning banana but we will see , he is such a creature of habit. If you have some over ripe bananas and have never baked with them this is the perfect recipe to start with. I am a huge fan of cooking with ripe bananas check out my Banana Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies.
