When I think of 'Fall Off The Bone Ribs' I can close my eyes and imagine my Dad, he sure loved his ribs. Yet, not just any ribs, it had to be made the way my Mom did. Flash forward to today and I can't think of the dish without smiling at childhood days of sauce all over the face and laughing with dad while Mom tried to wipe my face amidst all the giggles. Good 'ol country-style ribs! Unfortunately, I … [Read more...]

  Last month we had a scrumptious meal at my in-laws house, for Easter dinner. The menu included the most incredible dessert, Cream Cheese Tarts Topped with Fruit. I'd consider the perfect Summer Dessert. She'd made this recipe many times before, yet it was my first taste. I was hooked.

It's a take on Chicken Parmesan, yet a mushroom sauce substitutes the more common tomato-based sauce. Instead, using the slow cooker, you get all that 'Parmesan … [Read more...]

  While I love them, I don't make cinnamon buns {from scratch} very often. They don't take a lot of time to make, yet I seem to have very little time for baking these days, so bring on the easy recipes! A great example of 'wow, that was so simple' is Cinnamon Bun Cake, a recipe given to me by a Mom in my daughters' class. All the same delicious Cinnamon Bun taste, yet instead with a 'mix and bake' recipe. I just … [Read more...]
