Blanco Diablo

I love this recipe. I modified it from two other recipes I like and created Blanco Diablo. This recipe is the best of both worlds! You can adjust the temperature by the Rotel you buy, Mild, Original, or Hot. Original is hot enough for me especially with all the pepper jack cheese. Ingredients: 1/3 lb Velveeta Pepper Jack Cheese cubed 1/3 lb Velveeta...

Fresh Hummus

I love Pita chip, no seriously, I love them! I don’t buy them for so many reasons one being they are way over priced and two I will eat them all in one sitting that’s how much I love them. A few days ago I had left over pitas that were getting too hard to do anything much with and I didn’t want them to go bad because like the chips they are on the high side. I decided...

Athenian Pasta Salad

This is an excellent recipe. I love the Mediterranean feel of this recipe with the feta and the oil. The red pepper really makes this recipe so don’t skip this step unless you don’t like red peppers. This is a recipe that would be great at a pot luck or just as a simple side dish. It’s easy and delicious and it’s something you can make ahead of time. Ingredients: 1/4...

Lebanese Spinach Pies

I will be honest with you this is not an easy recipe to make, but well worth the trouble. If you are lucky enough to have a mediterranean grocery store near by you maybe able to by the dough pre-made.

Lebanese Tabbouleh

I love Tabbouleh! I will say it is an aquired taste. I grew up with Lebanese neighbors so I quick found my love for their food.

Ingredients 2 bunches fresh Italian parsley or flat leaf...

This is such a great recipe for chicken broth. I am a firm believer in making my own chicken broth. Then not only do I have the chicken in the freezer on hand any time I need it, but I also have the broth on hand in the freezer. I don't like to purchase, it's expensive... lacks flavor, and it's full of extra stuff you don't need. Thanks for the recipe Ms. Kitty! Ingredients 4...

I have never like brussel sprouts. They taste too much like cabbage to me. I decided to try this recipe in hopes that I would like it. I am the only one in my family who doesn't like them, and I hate to NOT make them for everyone else. I LOVED these. They are wonderful. This is perfect for a brussel sprout hater like me! Ingredients 15 Brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise...
