Herb Roasted Potatoes and Carrots are fresh and flavorful.  The combination of potatoes and carrot are the perfect side dish with grilled meat. I have watched Ina Garten on Food Network make these roasted potatoes and carrots many times. She shows you how simple and easy they are to make.

Milky Way Cake

Milky Way Cake , a vintage recipe from the 70's using candy bars in the cake batter and frosting, a mouth watering decadent cake for sure! I have wanted to make this Milky Way Cake for a while. Actually, the recipe has been sitting in my recipe box for years, and I am not sure who gave it to me.  

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus,  a delightful dip made with chickpeas, roasted red bell peppers, jalapeños, and olive oil.  Ideal for entertaining or just a quick and healthy snack. I had eaten store bought Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus before that was pretty good, but I decided that I could make some homemade.

Out Of The Oven Pita Chips

Out of the Oven Pita Chips, a homemade crunchy snack made sweet or savory that beats the store bought anytime. The first time I made these Pita Chips was for a wedding reception I catered. I thought we would never be through making approximately 2,000 chips. I didn't know if I would ever want to look at another pita chip again as long as I lived.

Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes

Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes , the perfect side dish to any steak dinner!  Take extra special time to make these tasty will not disappoint.

Dad's (Jeff's) Famous Steak

Jeff's Famous Steak, my son's favorite steak recipe he keeps the family thinking he is a great grilling champ. My Son's children were always asking me "Have you had some of Dad's Famous Steak?"  Famous Steak, what recipe is that?

Classic Blueberry Scones with Clotted Cream and Lemon Curd

Classic Blueberry Scones,  an English quick bread like biscuits are to Southerners, baked up tall and fluffy, served with a Mock Clotted Cream and Homemade Lemon Curd. The last time I went to Sam's I had bought a large container of blueberries. I was not eating them fast enough to keep them from going bad, so I began to think about what I could make with them for breakfast this morning.
