Flourless Chocolate Torte

This was the dessert I brought for dinner with friends a few weeks ago. It was VERY rich but absolutely wonderful. The recipe is from my dear friend Dana (and her fabulous recipe blog can be found at Freddie’s Favorite Foods) originally from Sharon Lebewohl’s Signature Flourless chocolate Cake I...

Cinnamon Ice Cream

This was my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner with the In-laws. I couldn’t find a cinnamon ice cream recipe that was exactly what I wanted so I found a great-looking vanilla and ran with it to come up with my own.This was the easiest ice cream I’ve made so far. And...

Alfredo Sauce

I’ve had the biggest craving for Alfredo lately and I finally made it. I’ve only made Alfredo once or twice before and it never turned out as well as this time did. I was fantastic! I used the recipe found at Amber’s Delectable Delights but I wasn’t very strict on...

Pepperoni Cheese Bread

This is quite similar to the Pizza Bite recipe but I think I liked this one a touch more, mostly for the bread. I wasn’t a huge fan of the pizza dough from the Bites recipe but the frozen bread dough was pretty tasty. (Is it wrong for me, the...

Honey Yeast Rolls

I made these a few weeks ago when we had dinner with some friends. She was in charge of the chili (which was amazing, by the way) and I was in charge of the bread and dessert. I don’t think I gave the rolls enough time to rise (I started...

Penne Rustica

I told you I loved What’s Cooking in the Orange Kitchen! This is my 3rd update in a row from her blog 🙂 This pasta was heavy but fantastic. And incidentally, it made fantastic leftovers for lunch the next day too. I was a little heavy handed with the pepper...

Chicken Marsala

This is, quite possibly, my husband’s favorite thing I’ve made. He LOVED it. I can’t say I disagree with him. Yum! Ingredients: 4-6 thin chicken breast pounded out to 1/8 inch thickness1/2 cup flour1/3-1/2 cup buttersalt and pepper to taste2 cups mushrooms, sliced (We left these out)1-2 cloves garlic minced3/4...
