We went apple picking for the first time this weekend and had a grand time. We picked lots of different varieties of apples and so far, they all have been delicious. I cannot take any credit for making this pie since my hubby did it all by himself. He’s a big fan of apple pie…

Potato Soup with Shrimp
With Fall officially here, it has felt like soup sort of weather. We had this soup along with homemade wheat bread. I have made this soup without the shrimp and I substituted frozen corn instead.

Homemade Pizza
The dough for this recipe is out of my new favorite book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The crust puffs up in the oven beautifully. You can top the pizza with your favorite ingredients. I personally like spinach, mushrooms and cheese but tonight we opted for pepperoni, red onions, and mushrooms.Olive Oil DoughMakes…
Comfort Food
The first time I saw this recipe I gulped. Hard. There is something very comforting about macaroni and cheese. I’m a big fan of adapting recipes to make them low fat but there are some recipes that just should not be altered, like this one. The only modification I made to this recipe is that…
A Cool Evening in August
The weather has turned a bit cool the last couple of days. A sad reminder that the dog summer days are dwindling and fall will soon be here if not already. We enjoyed this soup last night along with hot corn bread muffins served with butter and honey. Beef and Vegetable Soup 2 tablespoons olive…
Tandoori Chicken
If you go to any Indian restaurant, you will most likely find this item on the menu. The chicken is cooked in a tandoor oven which is designed to cook meats and Indian flatbreads at a very high temperature. I love this recipe because you can marinate it overnight and fix it on the grill…
In Honor of Julia
I recently got a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking with the hopes of going through the cookbook and preparing each recipe much like the character of Julie did in the movie Julie and Julia. But with a toddler, that dream seems a little difficult to attain. I love this recipe for creme…
Food Memories
There is something very comforting about having a meal from your childhood. My mother would fix chicken curry at least once a week when we were growing up. I never understood how labor-intensive it was to fix this dish, especially after a full day of work! It was our favorite meal by far, especially for…
Turkey Meatballs
I like to double the recipe and freeze half of the cooked meatballs so that I have a meal in case we have last minute company or I want to deliver a meal to someone in need. I find baking the meatballs instead of cooking over the stove top is less messy. Turkey Meatballs Recipe…
Mens Breakfast
Every other Tuesday, a few men from church come over to our house for breakfast at 6:00 a.m. It is mostly just a time for them to encourage each other, share about what the Lord is teaching them and a time for fellowship. My husband was part of a mens breakfast at our previous church…
