If you are a chocolate lover, you are going to love these cookies. They are rich, decadent, and gooey (especially when just out of the oven)! Your taste buds will sing when you take your first bite. These cookies are pure chocolate heaven. I found this recipe in the November 2014 issue of Cooking Light magazine, and it is definitely a delight! Bon Appetit! Tips: If you prefer a less intense chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the bittersweet chocol

This recipe comes from Nigella Lawson, and it is truly delicious! This baked egg and potato hash makes a lovely dish for breakfast or brunch. I admit that before this recipe I'd never made eggs like this, but I always appreciate new ways to cook something! Try adding some fresh fruit or muffins to add some variety to your meal (I have a number of recipes on this blog if you need ideas). Bon Appetit! Tips: I found Sriracha sauce to compliment this dish, but you can use what

This is a recipe that I developed, because of an abundance of zucchini from my garden. My family enjoys this sweet bread for a pick me up snack, and it goes great with a cup of coffee. I added some mini chocolate chips, and it made this recipe all the better! This recipe is a wonderful way to use zucchini. Even if you're not a fan of squash, you will love this sweet bread.

I will try my best to describe how good this cake is. But until you make it and taste it yourself, I am afraid my words will not do this recipe justice. If you love peaches and have good peaches available, I encourage you to try this cake. The wonderful thing about upside-down cakes is that they look really impressive, but they are deceptively easy to put together. Your friends and family will be in awe of your baking skills, and once they taste this cake, you will have t

A few years ago, I had a houseful of guests to feed. This recipe came in handy for an easy tasty lunch. Not only are these deli sandwiches delicious, but they are convenient too. You can make them ahead of time, so that you have a break from the kitchen and are able to spend time with your company. If you are going on an outing (or a picnic), you can slice them and then wrap them individually with plastic wrap. Pack your cooler and enjoy summer and friends with these gre

This is a great recipe to make when you want ice cream, but you don't want all the fat and sugar that comes with it. I found this yummy banana yogurt recipe in People magazine, created by Judy Joo. It is very easy to make but give yourself plenty of time for the chilling. The results are spectacular! This creamy banana yogurt with fresh strawberries is absolutely delicious, and the almonds add a great layer of crunch too! Bon Appetit! Tips: Freeze the sliced bananas on a

Are you looking for a summer seafood dinner with lots of flavor? Then you should give this lovely recipe a try. I found this orzo pasta dish in the August 2016 edition of Southern Living magazine and adapted it to my own tastes. This meal reflects on summer as it incorporates many foods that are in season - fresh herbs, tomatoes, and shrimp! All these delightful tastes combined with a crunchy bread topping make this meal a winner. My family enjoyed topping all of it with
