Easy Peasy Veal Scallopini {Recipe}

By

When it comes to cooking, my style is … psuedo– which basically means, I enjoy making my meals look like I spent all day slaving over a hot stove, when in reality I threw it all together 30 minutes before my husband walked through the door.

Come to think of it, that is my cleaning style too…. hm.

I digress.

If you are like me and “short-cut-cooking” is your middle name, I have a recipe to share with you today that is going to make your family fall at your feet … or at the very least request seconds.

My family has named this one of my “best meals ever” – and believe me, my son is the ultimate critic.

Christmas Tri-Color Cookie {Recipe}

By

I am not an avid baker.

In fact, through out the year my baking typically consists baking boxed cakes & brownies with my friends Betty (Crocker) and Duncan (Hines), but the holidays are the exception to the rule. During the holidays I morph into baking queen, bust out the apron and begin my holiday cookie tradition.

I bake mexican wedding cakes and peanut butter blossoms–

Pecan Tassies–

And as of last year, I began baking my mother-in-law’s famous Tri-colored cookies- They are to die for!

And since it *is* the season of giving. I am going to share the recipe here today!

Do you have a holiday cookie you make every year?


How To: Ham & Cheese Lasagna

By

My son, at 6 years old is a total foodie. And not just in the way his Mom is a foodie (the consuming kind), he actually enjoys cooking!

He is enrolled in a cooking class right now and not that he ever really leaves me any to taste, from the scraps and crumbs I’ve had the honor of nibbling on, he is learning to cook some delish meals.

Although cooking with him at the moment completely stresses me out, I am trying- with every ounce of my being to embrace this passion of his- because I know with the proper training in a few years I could very well be running my very own dinner-sweat shop  have the very next Top Chef on my hands.

So this week we cooked the Ham & Cheese lasagna he cooked a few weeks ago in class.

Try it. You will die and go to cheese heaven- I promise.
