Crispy BAKED French Fries

My boys LOVE those paper bags filled with hot, crispy, salted french fries from our local hamburger joint and I must admit, so do I! Really, who doesn’t?! What I don’t like is thinking about how horrible those greasy fries are for our health. It puts major damper on the enjoyment for me, so I started playing around with making a healthier version [...]

Baked Corned Beef with Hot & Sweet Mustard

Corned beef isn’t actually an Irish dish. Are there gasps of indignation out there?! :) Sorry but it’s primarily an American tradition to eat corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s day. I’m not sure where it came from but I do know that it isn’t technically Irish! I just had to say that out of loyalty to [...]

This salad is not only super healthy, it is incredibly easy and really, really good! I couldn’t stop eating it. The key to this salad is great grapefruit.

Tribute to Mom

Where would we be without our lovely and talented Mom? We developed our love of cooking at an early age "helping" our Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught us about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen! All of us cherish the memories we have of learning to cook with our Mom at our side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in us a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. We love you!
