Strawberry Temptation {Recipe: Strawberries with Maple Cream Sauce}
April in Kansas is not a good time for strawberries, yet each and every year, around this time, I get tempted. The weather warms up and I want fresh fruit. I walk into the grocery store and see the displays of red, ripe strawberries and can’t resist them. I get them home, wash them and…
Easter Celebration Tablescape with Breakstone’s Sour Cream
Many of you know from some of my past dinner party posts that I love to throw a great dinner party. Entertaining is something my husband and I truly enjoy doing. Having guests over and serving a meal and entertaining does not stress me out in the slightest. I’m a very relaxed entertainer. When it…
California Avocados Direct {Recipe: Avocado Dip}

Pepper-Crusted Pork Loin with Sour Cream and Onion Sauce
When the friendly folks at Breakstone’s Sour Cream asked me to create a main dish recipe for our Easter celebration, I knew immediately what route I was going to take. While many people love a trusty baked ham for their Easter dinner, I prefer to go with a tender, juicy pork loin.
Celebrate Grilled Cheese Month with Jarlsberg Cheese
This past fall, I ate the grilled cheese sandwich that would make all other grilled cheese sandwiches inferior. Never again would I be satisfied with a plain, old, boring run of the mill grilled cheese sandwich. I would need a sandwich with only the finest cheese, ham and bread, toasted perfectly with the right amount…
Spring Optimisim {Recipe: Hot Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallows}
I’m optimistically looking in my pantry and trying to figure out ways to get rid of all the hot chocolate mix I stocked up on during the frigid winter. My hope is that spring is here to stay and I won’t need to warm the kids up when they come in from playing outside with…
