These are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever tasted. Yes, even better than my grandma Sutherland’s!!! They have the sugary glazed bottoms, melt in you mouth cinnamon centers, and light textured dough. The big secret to their success (and yours) is potato starch in the dough. It’s a good thing this recipe makes two…

Pizza Dough
This recipe needs to be made in a food processor. Once you see how easy and good it is , you’ll never order delivery again. You can make up a couple of batches of the dough, pre-cook them for about 5 minutes and put them in the freezer for instant pizza! A boon to mankind!!!!! Print Recipe…
Sandy’s Shrimp Fettuccine
This is one of the families’ very favorite recipes. We served it at Jason and Deana’s rehearsal dinner and it has found the place of honor at many tables through time. It is one of the few fettuccine recipes that can sit on a buffet table for awhile without getting sticky. My favorite way to…
Italian American Shrimp
This recipe combines a large variety of delicious vegetables with shrimp. It’s almost like a jambalaya without the chicken and sausages, so take a cooks tour of the produce section and go to work! This dish is equally good served over rice, pasta, or even polenta. Cooks choice. Print Recipe Italian American Shrimp Cuisine Italian…
Chicken Cacciatore
This recipe looks complicated but you are done fixing it before you know it. The leftovers are out of this world. It can be made with a whole chicken but I like the taste with thighs and drumsticks. It’s another recipe that can be made well in advance and re-heated. It’s great over polenta or…
Eggplant Parmigiana
This is one of my very favorite Italian recipes. Eggplant is so hearty it is almost steak-like. The melding of the flavors of the marinara, cheeses and eggplant are outstanding. One recipe mentioned layering slices of zucchini in with the eggplant ! The dish is a perfect addition to a buffet table, excellent lunch entre, and…
Swiss Meringue Buttercream
This is, hands down the best cake frosting you will ever make. It has an ultra-silky, stable texture that spreads beautifully with a spatula or can make perfect peaks and patterns with a piping bag. It can be kept at room temperature for a day or refrigerated in an air-tight container for 3 days. It will…
Cheese Cake
I have had this recipe forever. It will never let you down. I used it to make the wedding cakes for Jock and Angie’s wedding. There is nothing more to say, except it is a winner! Print Recipe Cheese Cake Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 50 minutes Passive Time 24 hours Servings Ingredients 3…
Filo Triangles
This is a very old recipe. It appears to be a lot of work, and it is time consuming. Its’ redeeming factors are that it is delicious, and they can be done ahead and frozen, to be baked on the day of your party. If you are looking for a drop dead appetizer that won’t be…
Manicotti
In our family this recipe is called “Myron’s Manicotti”. This was one of my Dad’s favorite recipes to cook and serve. It became a family favorite, so much so, that it was the entrée at Jock and Angie’s wedding!
Lemon Bars
I can’t bake these Lemon Bars without thinking of my dear friends Clint and Jeannie Lemmon. They were a breath of fresh air, as are these bars. If you want light and sweet and fresh bake a pan of lemon bars and share them with someone. (or not!) Print Recipe Lemon Bars Prep Time 15…
Apricot-Pistachio Biscotti
If you have biscotti lovers in you group you’ve hit the right spot. These are easy to bake, good to eat, and can be packaged up in individual bags of four to six toasts each and given to friends. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week so once again…
