Soups On

Here are a two of my favorite soups that I tried many years ago from various cooking websites! I've made these many times since finding them!



Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is a delicious and easy soup! What is so great about this soup is not only the authentic Mexican flavors but that it can be made and ready to serve in less than an hour! Here is the link to that recipe...

Sauteed Apples

I'm not a huge fan of canned pie filling because it's just too sweet for my taste. So when I need cooked sweet apples for recipes, this is how I make them. It's so quick, easy and costs less than the canned variety. These sautéed apples are heavenly when served warm with a scoop of ice cream!

I've used these sauteed apples as a filling in recipes such as

Chili Stroganoff

I enjoy making other peoples recipes more than trying to create my own! Although sometimes I end up tweaking someone's recipe so much that it becomes a totally different recipe! I call that a 'Super Tweak'...sounds like 'Super Freak' doesn't it? Now try to get that song out of your head!

No Eggs, No Milk, Banana Bread!

That's right!!! I didn't think it was possible, so I tried it! You know what? It is possible...and it's delicious!!! Below is my photo of the banana bread. It was moist and very flavorful! But the best part is how quick and easy it is too...not to mention low fat! The only change I made was to add a splash of pure vanilla extract to the batter. This recipe is from a cook named Pam Wilson McNicol...thank you Pam!

No Eggs, No Milk, Banana Bread

Easy Chicken Parmesan Soup

If you are a regular reader of my posts you'll know that I just love to take classic recipes and add a new twist because I just can't leave 'well enough' alone! Some of my past 'twists' were...

Creamy Cheesy Hot Corn Dip

I love to serve snacks to my guests that are  a little unique. Well, this corn dip is not only unique but also so delicious! It's warm, creamy, cheesy, corn goodness in every bite!  And it also has a slight amount of spiciness. My guests loved this one, so now I'm sharing it here!

Panzanella Salad

This is not your typical leafy lettuce kind of salad. This salad actually does not contain any lettuce at all.

Roast Beef with a Garlic Crust

I just love a tasty hunk of flavorful beef sometimes...especially when it's so easy to make!

Soft Gingerbread Cookies

I totally love soft cookies...any flavor...any size! They are just heavenly to bite into! But I really have a soft spot (pun intended) for all things gingerbread!

Easy Indian Curry Shrimp

I love everything about this meal! It's creamy, flavorful and so easy to make! This recipe really cures my craving for delicious Indian food! I always serve this with a scoop of cooked jasmine or basmati rice...so aromatic and scrumptious!

Ritz Thin Mint Cookies

 

If you love 'Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies' you will love this recipe because it tastes VERY similar! Girl Scouts only sell cookies once per year, so I had to come up with a way to have these all year round.

Candy Wings

An easy chicken wing recipe with only 3 other ingredients besides the chicken. These wings are sweet, garlicky and savory.

Parmesan and Garlic Crusted Pork Chops

This is a recipe that I tried many years ago from a cook known as Missloinheart. I love the simple ingredients and big flavors! These pork chops have a thin cheesy garlicky crust which seals in the juices.

Fluffiest Pancakes Ever

These truly are the best pancakes I've ever had! I totally love super fluffy, tall pancakes and that is exactly what you get with this recipe!

Homemade Manicotti

This is an old family recipe. My Mom made these manicotti on many special occasions. This is so much better than store bought manicotti pasta shells because these manicotti are so thin and delicate...they truly melt in your mouth.

Candied Walnuts

This delicious little snack is easy to make but difficult to stop eating!

Corn Fritters

This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes! I make it just about every year, but sometimes I use onions instead of corn. You can really substitute any kind of veggie for the corn!

Pecan Turtle Bars

This is such a delicious dessert or snack. It tastes like a combination of a candy bar and a shortbread cookie! Perfect for the holidays! This can replace a pecan pie for me any day!

Copycat Ikea Swedish Meatballs

I'm not a huge fan of Ikea furniture because it's just not my style...too minimalist for me! But I am a huge fan of their meatballs! Ikea not only sells furniture but they also have an amazing restaurant in their stores where they serve these meatballs! Check it out *here*

Chinese Turnovers

Made with egg roll wrappers and canned fruit pie filling! Ready in less than 20 minutes!
