Crispy Oven Roasted Parmesan Potatoes
The title of this recipe made me so hungry as soon as I read it! Then when I saw the description I knew I had to try it..."Crispy on the outside & soft inside." That's my kind of potato side dish! I found this recipe **here**

Grilled Shrimp Greek Pitas
I love quick, easy, delicious grill recipes! Especially when there's no messy grill to clean! This recipe is made using Reynold's® foil packets. I did have a messy grill that I had to clean before I grilled my shrimp because I didn't clean it the last time I used it...ooopsy! Check out this tip on how to easily clean your grill using only a ball of Reynold's® foil. I tried it and it worked great! No more grungy grill brushes for me. Look at my nice clean grill...

Peach Salsa Pork Roast
When I think of fruit with pork I usually think of apples. Especially because of that famous episode from The Brady Bunch show where Peter finds out Mrs. Brady is serving 'Pork chops and applesauce' for dinner. Oh how I loved that show!

Greek Gyros
I love seasoned meat that is roasted(or grilled), juicy and sliced thin. Then when you add a creamy, tangy, feta cheese dressing and some fresh chopped veggies like onions, lettuce and tomatoes...well, I'm in heaven! Neatly wrap it in some soft flatbread and you have the perfect gyro!

Creamy Mexican Chicken Pasta
This delicious and easy slow cooker recipe is one I've been making for a few years. I found this recipe on a food blog called Chef Mommy. I serve this creamy, cheesy creation over pasta, but it is just as yummy served over rice as Chef Mommy does!

Smoky Spicy Turkey Burger with Caramelized Onions and Spicy Sweet Mayo
I'm loving my new non stick grill pan! It sizzles from edge to edge even though the pan is way bigger than the burner on my glass top stove.

Chinese Casserole
This is such a good idea for a casserole. I never think of Chinese food when I think of casseroles, but this works perfectly!

Honey Lemon Glazed Oven Roasted Chicken
Your mouth should be watering just from reading the title! This recipe was so delicious in so many ways! Not only did I savor ever bite of the chicken, but the onions were pretty amazing too! Tender and sweet from basting in the glaze. Just add some potatoes or a green veggie and dinner is done with just a few ingredients!

Corned Beef Hash Served with Fried Eggs
I had lots of leftover Glazed Corned Beef & Cabbage so I decided instead of making my soup recipe, I would try something I've always wanted to try...corned beef hash! I love 'home fries' or 'hashbrowns' that I sometimes order at my local diner for breakfast! And I've seen lots of recipes floating around the Internet for corned beef hash. So it just seemed like the perfect time to try it myself! I wasn't sure I could get the potatoes to brown-up as nicely as I like them to be...but it was quite easy, as you can see in my photo above! I thought since the potatoes were boiled and very soft that they would just turn to mush! It was a nice surprise to see how easily they browned and stayed firm!

2 Ingredient Biscuits
I am once again amazed at how simple and delicious a 2 ingredient recipe can be! I recently tried a 2 Ingredient Pizza Dough and was very impressed with the delicious results. So when I came across another similar recipe for biscuits, it was a no-brainer that I would try this also! These biscuits were so light and fluffy with just a hint of cherry sweetness. Perfect served warm with a little butter and a cup of coffee or tea.

2 Ingredient Pizza Dough
Yes, I know it sounds crazy! That's why I had to try it! I saw this recipe floating around the internet recently and was intrigued. Then when I saw that one of my favorite food bloggers, The Slow Roasted Italian, tried this creation, I knew I had to also! I'm a full blooded Italian from New York, so I'm very picky about my pizza! New York has the best pizza in the world. My Grandma and Mom also made the best pizza in the world! So my pizza standards are extremely high!

Relished Recipe Kits at 50% Discount = Less than $5 Per Serving!
Look closely at these 3 yummy meals below! I am so excited to show my readers these recipe kits from Relished Foods.com (now know as Home Chef). These three meals were all included in one shipment that was sent right to my door in a cooler box. As you can see in my photos below, the kits included EVERY SINGLE ingredient needed to make each meal! You DO NOT need to shop for anything. You don't even need to measure any of the ingredients! They are all in pre-measured packages! All you need is salt, pepper and sometimes a few teaspoons of cooking oil, to create these fabulously delicious gourmet dishes. The taste is truly '5 Star' restaurant quality because they supply fresh, top notch ingredients. And each recipe is created by Relished's own professionally trained restaurant Chef! They also send glossy, easy to follow, full size, recipe cards with each meal kit.
You can tweak the recipes to suit your tastes. For instance, in the Salmon kit pictured above, I omitted the wasabi from my mashed potatoes but included it for my hubby! He raved about them! He actually raved about all 3 meals! And for the turkey burgers I decided to butter and toast the pretzel buns! Yes, PRETZEL BUNS!!! I love pretzel buns! My kids (20 & 23 years old) wanted a taste of the turkey burgers...they loved it also. And it was their first time eating turkey burgers. My kids are usually VERY picky eaters but they really wanted to taste everything! I think the gorgeous presentation piqued their interest. I can't even take credit for that because the recipe cards tell you how each dish should be assembled. I was able to easily prepare these 3 scrumptious meals without much thought. What I love about these kits besides the taste is not having to shop for each ingredient and not having to measure each ingredient! It's like have a sous chef with me in my kitchen. I just wish a clean-up person would have been included in these kits! Oh well, a girl can dream, can't she? You really feel like a highly skilled Chef while preparing these meals!

Red Beans and Rice
This is a very popular dish in Puerto Rico, Cuba and Jamaica. Smoked pork sautéed with onions, red bell peppers and garlic in a smoky seasoned broth with red beans. Served over cooked white rice. A hearty meal that I serve with some crusty bread to soak up the smoky broth...yum! I've been making this for many years. Always a favorite in my house!

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies and Cookbook Giveaway
Am I the only person on earth that never had a homemade whoopie pie? I've had the store bought kind with the chocolate coated cookie and marshmallow filling. Not a fan of those, so I never thought to try any others! Well, I'm now in love with the homemade variety! It is so much better than those marshmallow ones! It actually can't even compare!
