This recipe is the one the kids always choose for their “birthday breakfast.” I think they look more forward to this than birthday cake! This recipe comes from PapaChef’s family, and I don’t know that they are “swedish,” but they are similar to crepes and whatever they are called they are very delicious. A little […]

I got this recipe from one of the cooking blogs I follow, Rachel & Maya. All I have done is change the proportions so it was enough to feed my family. This is an unusual recipe, but I am always looking for new breakfast ideas. The pasta cost $1.67. Not bad! 1 box pastina (tiny […]

But here is a nice Italian-American concoction. OK, maybe an Italian-Idaho concoction. This is so delicious! It is wonderful for a brunch on Saturday or Sunday, as it is […]

I got this recipe from my dear friend Blondie, and since then, we make this several times a month. The only thing that prevents us from making these is a lack of over-ripe bananas on hand. Sometimes we eat through the whole bunch before they are ripe enough! Blondie also gave me another great idea: […]

This recipe yields a truly delicious pancake that just melts in your mouth. I buy these massive containers of Ricotta cheese at Sam’s Club, and never have a hard time using it up between Italian cooking, cookies, and pancakes. The price is the same as a regular sized container from the grocery store, and it […]

I mentioned I have been under a Raspberry attack, right? I have picked 12-13 gallon from my patch this summer. And I am still getting a quart or so every few days. It has been a good year for raspberries! I am always thinking of ways to use them up. My neighbor and friend has […]

This is our Christmas Morning Routine: Kids have to stay in their room until they hear the “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” played at full volume from the kitchen. We’ll have none of that ridiculous wake up at dawn kinda stuff! Yuck! We usually get up between eight and nine. Sometimes the […]
