St. Patty’s Day–Reuben and Swiss Sliders

March 14, 2022 by Tonja Leave a Comment

Kick-off St. Patty’s Day with some of my favorite Reuben and Swiss Sliders.  You can make the corned beef ahead of time in your slow cooker.  After slicing the meat, put it back in the braising liquid until you’re ready to assemble. Since Guinness is the official beer of St. Patricks day we’ve added one…

September 13, 2021 by Tonja 2 Comments

This new pasta recipe was inspired by the abundance of summer basil in my backyard and the cooler evening nights when a comforting pasta sounds good again.  I cannot underestimate how much lemon zest brings a dish to life.  This tasted light and luxurious all at the same time. It’s a great and fast weeknight…

Blueberry Crumble Bars

August 11, 2021 by Tonja 2 Comments

These are more than amazing. They are made with fresh blueberries and a buttery shortbread crust that’s got a perfect texture and isn’t too sweet.  I could go on and on but I’ll just say I’ve already made them twice and I still want more. These are most definitely a Crowd Pleaser!

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

July 29, 2021 by Tonja Leave a Comment

I finally tried using Franks hot sauce in meatball form and we loved the results.  Adding celery and scallion to the meatball mix gives the perfect balance. If you love anything buffalo-style you will love these. Take them to your neighbors or the lake or your back patio.  These were anything but boring. Bonus–these can…

I look forward to making this dish every summer. It’s so addicting that I don’t think it’s possible to make it too much. Serve it as a starter, or a light summer dinner.  You can use any kind of pita for dipping.  It’s colorful, easy and SO wonderfully light and delicious. I’m also sharing my…
