Cheddar Crab Muffins

Cheddar Crab Muffins

I don’t know where the original recipe came from, but Heidi shared this recipe years ago with the family and we’ve all been making these delicious Crab Muffins as appetizers ever since. They’ve become a true classic! Hope you’re able to give them a try…the upcoming Superbowl 50 on Sunday, February 7th may be just the day to make ’em…they’re not something you want to have if you’re on a diet – but are definitely decadently delicious and so easy to make… Continue reading

Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie

On New Year’s Eve we had some family and friends over for appetizers, dessert & cocktails…everyone had a wonderful time! For the big event, my sister-in-law Maria and my nieces Olivia & Michelle made two delicious Key Lime Pies. I was able to take a break from the cooking and baking and asked them if I could blog their creation… the pies turned out absolutely wonderful…rich, creamy and tarty with just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you Maria, Olivia, and Michelle (who assisted with the icing piping) – these Key Lime Pies were a BIG HIT!    Continue reading

Chicken Rice Soup

Chicken Rice Soup

This rainy Northeast weather brings the opportunity to make hearty soups. Recently Heidi served her family a Creamy Pumpkin Soup, a Creamy Mushroom, Sherry & Goat Cheese Soup and a Hearty Chicken & Ham Soup and I served my family Sopa de Carne. Well this week, one of my sons was really not feeling well, and as it’s a well known fact that Chicken Soup is the cure-all for everything, I decided to make him a hearty healing pot of soup. It was the perfect antidote! He’s back up and running and we all got to enjoy this delicious soup right along with him. These are some really great soups to warm you up on these early winter days… Continue reading
