Some of my Favorite Spring Recipes
Creamsicle Ice Cream Pie with Waffle Cone Crust
Creamsicle Ice Cream Pie with Waffle Cone Crust I have fond childhood memories of hot summer days, awaiting the neighborhood ice cream truck. I don’t remember or driver’s name, but I thought was ancient (but since I was 8, he could have been 25), wore a...
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Creamy Cauliflower Soup This creamy soup is deceptive – so creamy you’d think it was loaded with cream, but really just a bit of low fat milk is added. This is our ‘go to’ soup at home, takes only about 20 minutes to make. This recipe makes a whole lot of...
Creamy Irish Potato and Parsnip Soup with Sharp Cheddar and Parsley Oil

Double Chocolate and Pistachio Blondies
Double Chocolate and Pistachio Blondies I love making these when I need to feed a crowd or when the desire to hover over the oven in cookie baking mode is not in the cards. Here we have a dough that is very much chocolate chip cookie like, but instead of...
