Baked Banana Doughnuts

I found my oldest son in my office looking through my cookbooks yesterday.  When I walked in the room he said he wanted these, pointing to a picture of Banana Doughnuts. Since I can’t seem to say no to a food request and because I happened to have two ripe bananas on the counter, I baked these up just before he came home…

White Cheddar Cheese Soup

So simple looking yet packed with an unreal amount of flavor, not to mention its perfectly thick consistency.  It’s just the way I like my soup, creamy, cheesy and yummy. Cheddar cheese soup has always been a favorite of mine but when made at home it can often turn out lumpy.  Cheddar has a tendency to clump together or get grainy…

Ravioli Lasagna

I love making lasagna in all kinds of different ways but I really appreciate the little twist this recipe offers.  It’s also so easy to throw together.  It does sort of feel like cheating when making this Ravioli Lasagna.  Using store-bought fresh ravioli and making a six-ingredient marinara with spinach filling that’s just stirred together works great for weeknights around here.

So I did a little a searching for a lighter Alfredo sauce (don’t laugh) and came across one developed by Lidia Matticchio…

However, lately this has been hitting the spot….for me and for them. Anyway,…

Peanut Butter Chip Cake

Has a list of recipe ingredients ever been so strange and so very frightening you were actually compelled into making it? Just to see what it tastes like? Have you ever loved an ingredient so much you’ve tried it in things maybe you shouldn’t have?  Well, there is no denying the fact that I love sauerkraut.  I grew up on it and…

Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

It’s that time of year again.  I know, I know it’s so important…more than you think.  You see, it’s almost the holidays and we are smack dab in the middle of football season, sooooo…it’s time to get your “dip repertoire” down pat.  You don’t want to be dipless at the many upcoming gatherings from now until February. I think every…
