So I bought too much turkey bacon which always forces me to try to think of ways to use what I over buy or make. I remember having Praline bacon once and decided ‘Yes’! So here we go… I love being my own Guinea pig! Continue reading
Sometimes I like to check out restaurant menus to get ideas for dinner and desserts. The other day I was perusing the menu from Fuego Tortilla Grill in Texas – never been there but would love to visit one day…on the dessert menu I saw Magic Cookies with graham cracker crust, condensed milk, chocolate chips, shaved coconut and chopped pecans…sounded incredibly delicious! Come to find out that the original recipe came from Eagle Brand condensed milk. I’ve made a few adjustments to the original recipe, but they’re truly decadent! Continue reading

It’s Margarita time!!! I had my Peeps (friends) over for a Mexican lunch with pitchers of delicious Margaritas. I made my Mexican Beef Burritos with all the trimmings. I must say the Margaritas were a huge hit. Authentic all the way! I didn’t rim the glass because I don’t enjoy them with salt or sugar, so feel free to rim the glass if you want… Continue reading

Today it was made with a simple reduction of white wine and shallots… Continue reading

If you’ve been following Linda and I for a while now, you know that I am gifted several hams by my hubby’s clients every year. I have had to make ham in so many ways my brain hurts…but this is my favorite! I actually served this dish at a Small Plate Dinner on an evening we had guests. It was the perfect 4 or 5 bites that left you wanting more. Serving dishes on little 4″x 4″ plates is a fun way to make the ordinary exciting, (and to use your leftovers)! Your guests will think you spent days preparing… and in point of fact, you did!!! It was fun, delicious and enjoyed by all… Continue reading
