Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

I love to cook once and then make 2 dishes out of it. Here’s one of my “secret” recipes for putting a dinner together in a flash. Anytime we cook spaghetti with meat sauce, I make some extra and freeze or refrigerate it. I do the same when I cook plain rice. When I have [...]

Basic Scone Recipe

Have you ever made scones? I didn’t for the longest time. I figured they were just to complicated to make them and never tried – until last fall when a friend shared this easy recipe with me. These taste great as they are, or you can add any combination of flavorings and add-ons like fruit [...]

I love how easy it is to put together, but at the same time, the toasted pecan nuts make it taste very gourmet. I have yet to come across someone who doesn’t enjoy this [...]
