  Who would have thought that it was so easy to make homemade gnocchi.  For years if I wanted them I would buy the ones air-sealed in plastic at the grocery store.  My husband and son love the gnocchi soup that you can get at a local restaurant, so I decided of course that I could make it better at […]

  Soup is one of my family’s favorite things to order for lunch when we all go out. It is not too heavy or filling and sure hits the spot on a brisk fall or winter day. I like to use chicken whenever I can since it is readily available and I usually always have some in my freezer just waiting […]

  These bars look and taste fancy.  Pretty with their cranberry topping, you could easily serve them at a special event or gathering.  The cream cheese frosting is to die for, and could be used to frost any number of bars or cakes.  Make sure to cover them well in the frig or they will become dry and hard—I always […]
