Jeff asked if I could make a … More COUNTRY CREAMY POTATO SOUP thanks to the cute guy at the Bar at Alessia’s!
This week I learned something new. Believe it or not, I have never had a jello shot in my life. I know about them, I’ve seen them and I know that servers run around in clubs at night and give them to people (do the customers pay for them? I don’t know….) So, I was … More JELLO SHOTS….do not read this if you are not an adult beverage fan!

For instance, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t make some people like bleu cheese (even when you try to fool them with … More Cobb Salad…lo carb and yummy!
I know I do. I made a wonderful cranberry relish which I blogged along with Christy’s equally wonderful one a couple of weeks ago.

I know it’s kind of late for another side dish for Thanksgiving. But I am a Pea lover, so I will make this anytime. On Friday nights when I was growing up, my Mom, Geri, would make Salmon patties and creamed peas. She served the peas right over the crispy little tasty patties.
