Cream of Tomato Soup

This is the best tomato soup you will ever taste.  If you are fortunate enough to be able to grow your own tomatoes it is also an excellent way to get them used up.  I make it all but the cream and freeze it to be used on a cold winter day, add the whipping…

Cranberry Cream Pie

Cranberries need not be limited to sauces.  Their intense color and flavor, combined with a creamy, no bake filling, make a spectacular pie.  This was one of Deana’s favorite a few years ago.  She would give it to her friends on their birthdays.  It’s kind of gone under the radar the past few years which…

Cream Wafers

These are not your typical ‘cookie jar’ cookies.  They are  delicate pastry-like rounds with a rich  filling. A  lovely addition to cookie trays for a tea or reception. They would also be a hit at any cookie exchange.

Sandy’s Shrimp Fettuccine

Angie’s Egg Nog

What a great recipe!!! Make this to have on hand for you and your holiday guests and/or as a  great  hostess gift, or gift to friends and co-workers.  The big thing is you have to start early!!!!  It needs  about 4 weeks to age properly.  Think egg nog as you are cleaning up after Thanksgiving…

Red Bell Pepper Soup

On its own this is an O.K. soup.  It really hits the spot when you make this and a pot of Butternut Squash, or Broccoli Soup and pour half and half in a bowl.  They won’t mix if you pour them in at the same time so its a great presentation as well as a…

Chocolate Mousse Cake

This was my dad’s favorite dessert.  Doubly delicious – part of the mousse bakes into a cake, the other part fills it.  This is a spectacular grand finale.  You can count on it every time.  Also, note it’s flourless if that is anyone’s concern.

Chocolate Fondue

This is a recipe that promotes ooohs and aaaahs around your table but also keeps the conversation alive…….which one is your favorite?…..have you tried the strawberries yet?…… I never thought of dipping pretzels into chocolate fondue, don’t you love the salty/sweet taste….. etc. etc. This can be your featured dessert or a station at a…
