TO WASH OR NOT TO WASH FRESH EGGS

I just ran across this article on the egg wash debate.  I don’t wash my eggs unless I am ready to give the away or I am ready to eat them.  I do place them in the refrigerator, though I don’t believe it’s necessary, since I don’t eat a lot of eggs and I don’t […]

I can’t tell you how good this Hot Fudge Cake taste.  The soft moist chocolaty cake with this creamy, delicious fudge sauce.  I have seen this cake called Chocolate Cobbler but I always think of cobbler as having a pie-like crust and I just can’t associate this piece of chocolate heaven with a cobbler. If […]

On March 5th, we arrived in Barcelona, Spain.  I wanted to go to Spain when I was taking Spanish in high school but I haven’t given much thought about it since then and that was back in the 80’s.  Barcelona was beautiful and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed exploring Barcelona.  You can […]

Easy Pumpkin Pancakes (Bisquick)

I always look forward to fall because I starting making recipes using pumpkin.  I make pumpkin biscuits, pumpkin ooey gooey butter cake, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cupcakes, and pumpkin pancakes. I don’t know why I wait until fall to enjoy these tasty treats since I could eat pumpkin pancakes all year long.  Maybe I’ll save a […]

  I’ve never met a tortellini that I didn’t like.  Hot soup or cold salad….if it has tortellini, it’s going to be good. This Tortellini with Italian Sausage is such an easy recipe and it only takes one pot which means that not only does it taste great,  but there’s only one pot to wash. […]
