Potato Chip Cookies

This is the perfect summer time cookie. It's light, fresh and has that not so secret ingredient that will keep people asking for more. I learned of this cookie recently while visiting friends in Mineral Wells - a small town I lived for a year with my parents and brother when my father was in the army. A dear family friend had passed away -

Summer is here and we have a bounty of fruits and berries just ready for the table.

I've been meaning to

Julekake

Julekake is a traditional Norwegian Christmas cake. We've had one on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember, usually store bought and always delicious. Store bought until I forgot to order one and was forced to make my own - or go without. Oh the horror!! We simply could not have Christmas morning without a julekake, so after consulting with older relatives in

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This is a deliciously moist cake that isn't too sweet - perfect for a summer BBQ. This is a recipe my dad and I perfected over many weekends at the cabin. My dad's been gone for nearly 15 years, so I think of him and how much fun we had figuring out the best Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe. There was very likely alcohol involved.

Ham and Cheese Egg Bites (no Sous Vide)

I love Starbuck's Egg Bites, they are delicious. The eggs are absolutely perfect and make a great breakfast on the go. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, so I rarely get them unless I make a special trip or am traveling. I love them, but they cost about $5 for two egg bites so unless I am traveling I don't eat them.

In the past I have made carrot cakes from the box because it seems so much easier, but one of the kids has a nut allergy so anything that has been produced on equipment that processes tree nuts is out - that includes many cake mixes. The ones that are nut free use something
