Turkey Noodle Soup

This recipe is great for that day after you have decided that you are 3 pounds heaver from Thanksgiving but crap if you don’t still have a pound of turkey left. I got this from the Cooking Light recipe site and I really didn’t modify the recipe much at all. Cooking spray/Butter1 cup slices carrot3/4Continue reading “Turkey Noodle Soup”

This Year’s Thanksgiving!

Until plans changed the Tuesday before Thanksgiving we had planned on going out of town, so this Thanksgiving menu was kind last-minute and perhaps a little ill-planned. Even with that said, it ended up being a nice bunch of food for casual dinner for two in front of the television. I updated some of theContinue reading “This Year’s Thanksgiving!”

White and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie

This recipe is adapted from Pillsbury’s “Easy Pies” recipe book. While it is wildly, wildly delicious… it is not really that easy. If you are as bold as I and decide to make it for Thanksgiving then I suggest a test run or making it the night before. I decided to make it while IContinue reading “White and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie”

The Easiest Cream-Cheese Pie

This is not the fanciest dessert ever, but it’s very easy, very very tasty, and you can make it long in advance if you need to take it to a party. It’s really more of a method than a recipe because you can change everything around to fit your needs. The “accessories” are what youContinue reading “The Easiest Cream-Cheese Pie”

Quick Chicken (or leftover Turkey)-Bacon-Ranch Wraps

Wraps are so convenient for lunch or dinner so I end up making them a lot when I am in a bind for something quick to fix. I find this recipe to be the easiest for making quick, easy, and tasty chicken wraps. If you don’t like the rotisserie chicken, then sliced turkey or chickenContinue reading “Quick Chicken (or leftover Turkey)-Bacon-Ranch Wraps”

Berry Pudding Pie

This weekend I dug through my old monthly mini-cookbooks and dog-eared some recipes to make during the holidays. I had the ingredients on hand for this pie, so I went ahead and made it for a sweet brunch. This is from one of the Pillsbury holiday cookbooks. As usual I kept the ingredients mostly inContinue reading “Berry Pudding Pie”

Easy Ham and Cauliflower Soup

I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker website (yes again). I decided to try it because It made me think of this soup my Mom used to make with leftover ham, potatoes and green beans that was just perfect to eat on a cold night. I think that this would be great with eitherContinue reading “Easy Ham and Cauliflower Soup”

Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup

This is yet another slow-cooker recipe from the Betty Crocker website. Yes, I know it’s time to pay the poor people and buy their cookbooks instead of wearing out the website. Does it count that I have a hundred of those $4 grocery-store-checkout-counter-cookbooks? I added and subtracted a few ingredients, but I left the marjoramContinue reading “Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup”
