    Tomato Basil Soup (and Mix)



    This soup has been one of my personal favorite recipes.  I was inspired many years ago to duplicate the flavor of a tomato basil soup I had at a popular restaurant chain and ended up with this easy to prepare soup that I can even package as a mix for my pantry or to give as a gift.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

    Spanish Rice (Mix)

    I've had a LOT of requests for this recipe lately so I moved it up the priority list!  This is a homemade version of a packaged mix many people buy at the grocery store.  I love that I get to decide what ingredients are used for this mix.  From what kind of chicken base I use (salt free or not / msg free / organic or not, etc...) to whether I use brown rice or white rice ~ it's my choice and now you can make your own choices!






    Spotlight Ingredient: Tomato Powder

    Spotlight Ingredients ~ 
    things I like to use in my kitchen...
    why I like them and...
    where I get them!

    Tomato powder has become a standard ingredient in my home kitchen.  Almost as standard as salt and pepper but definitely used as much as garlic powder!  I thought I'd share some of the very basic ways I take advantage of this versatile ingredient on a daily basis and maybe you'll decide you can't do without it either!

    Quick and Easy Dump Cake

    This recipe has saved the day for me on more than one occasion!  Since I keep several of my Easy Fruit Cobbler Mixes in the pantry at all times (recipe in the Desserts eCookbook LINKED HERE), this recipe is a quick solution to dessert for a crowd or a potluck.  It serves more than the basic cobbler recipe that uses the same mix, but like the cobbler recipe, it doesn't require a lot of ingredients.

    A Sweet Book & A Sweet Deal!

    It's been a while coming, 
    but I finally have the much requested 
    Desserts eCookbook ready!
    CLICK HERE to go to the store and purchase

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie 
    (w/ Brownie Pie Variation)

    Chocolate Truffle Angle Cake

    Just Right Gingerbread (w/Orange Cake Variation)

    THE Best Carrot Cake 
    w/ White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

    Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

    Easy Fruit Cobbler

    Strawberry Lemonade Bars

    Double chocolate Brownies

    Sweet Spiced Dip



    And while I was in the 'book store' rearranging things to make room for this new cookbook, I decided to simplify pricing a bit too!

    I had already decided to offer this new book at an affordable price of $2.99 
    so I went ahead and made 

    One exception...the Dips eCookbook is more like a 'mini' 
    so it's listed at 0.99 cents.
    I have some other 'mini' cookbooks in the works, 
    so this will be a growing category

    Cinnamon Sopapilla Cheesecake with Chocolate Covered Strawberries

    The base recipe for this fabulous dessert is my favorite version of Cinnamon Sopapilla Cheesecake, so really this post is 2 recipes in one.

    You can make the basic Cheesecake recipe as is...or kick it up a notch for a special event (like say...Valentine's Day!) by adding a layer of fresh strawberries and melted chocolate.  OH yah!

    LemonBerry Cream Scones



    I am so excited to share with you one of my all time favorite indulgences!  These scones are made with heavy cream and ice cold butter, and bake up like clouds of delightfulness! (not a 'real' word but the only word that commuincates the joy I get when eating these!)
    The recipe is super simple, but I like to make it even easier by bagging up several mixes to keep on the pantry shelf for fast, fresh scones any day of the week.  Read on to get the recipe...

    TUTORIAL: Setting Up a Personalized Cookbook Binder

    As my series of eCookbooks continues to grow, it may be time to share with you how I turn a three ring binder into a personalized cookbook, adding one recipe at a time as I find new family favorites.  

    And it's not just for recipes from my eCookbooks or blog.  This system works well for a variety of recipes you want to print and save.  

    Making this custom printed cookbook is as easy as filling your freezer with quick meals or your pantry with homemade blends!  Once you start the system, it's easy to maintain.

    This healthy choice dinner is super easy to make and bursting with fresh flavors.

    Use whatever produce you have in the fridge and enjoy!





    Smoothie Kits Make Snacks and Breakfast Fast and Easy




    I've become a big fan of the 'smoothie', especially since I learned how to make smoothie kits I keep in the freezer.  Each kit provides 2 servings of fruit, and a serving of yogurt for protein.  Read more below and see how I add a serving of veggies to it when it's time to blend...and the kids don't even know the difference!







    Healthy Fridge = Healthy Eating

    Like most of the world, I made a commitment to begin making healthier choices when it came to what I was eating, and like most...I've done this before and been derailed before long.  

    This year I made some changes to my fridge to help me make those healthy choices faster and easier. Here's one of them...
