Just before Christmas my daughter had a few friends over for a sleepover. For dinner we did a taco bar and for breakfast we made a waffle bar. It made it so much easier to feed several people with very different food preferences a meal that they would like by offering them choices without making…

Holiday Breakfast Casserole
This is our traditional Christmas breakfast. I am not sure what we are doing this year. My son is already upset by the holiday changes we are making this year so I will probably still need to keep this dish. Hope you enjoy! Holiday Breakfast Casserole
Simple Sausage Soup
I realize with all the sweet treats and appetizers I have been posting I am a bit behind on my dinner postings. I am saving them up for when I am taking a break during Christmas vacation. With all the cookies and treats I have been posting I realized this morning that I have only…
Hot Crab Dip
Okay, is it just my family or is everyone surviving the holiday season on eating out, appetizers and sweets? It seems to be a theme at our house right now. Between Christmas concerts, parties, meetings, classes and other things it is crazy busy. But, I keep adding more to our schedule because I don’t want…
Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes
The two flavors that signal the beginning of the Christmas season to me are peppermint and chocolate. I love these two flavors individually and together! I was looking for something simple that could be made for holiday work parties, school parties or your Christmas buffet. These are so easy my children made them! Using a…
Meatball Mozzarella Bites

These are hearty…
Saying Good-Bye…
I love this picture. It is probably one of my ten favorite photos of my son. His eyes are closed but you can tell he is immensely happy and content. He loves Santa Claus. Halloween to Christmas is his hardest time of year. He loves the anticipation of the holidays and all its traditions. It…
Peanut Butter Balls
A couple of days ago my daughter came out to the kitchen and looked around at all the cookies. “Are you going to make Peanut Butter Balls?” I hadn’t planned on it. I don’t care for peanut butter. It’s okay and I eat it maybe once or twice a month but my family is crazy…
Russian Tea Cakes (or Mexican Wedding Cakes or Snowballs or ….)
It seems hard to conceive that time is passing so quickly. There are only 14 days left until Christmas! Where has the month gone. We are still baking like crazy in our house. We are trying to fit it in among all the events that are happening this time of year. This Friday we have…

Grandma’s White Cookies
It was a Performing Arts weekend in our house. My son participated in his first Solo/Ensemble Festival in Michigan. He did a great job and scored a I (the highest level) and earned a blue ribbon medal. He was so very proud of himself. He was playing his piece and suddenly lost where he was…
Chocolate Meatball Cookies
This is a cookie from my childhood. I remember going to my grandmother’s house every Christmas Eve when we were young children. It was always the highlight of the year for me. I knew that the house would be filled with all the wonderful smells and foods that I loved. This was one of the…
