This is a simple side dish that you can make ahead of time and freeze for up to 1 month. So, I have already made it and popped it in my freezer; come Thanksgiving day I will see how good it tastes then (see comment below). I believe in homemade recipes and getting dishes done … Continue reading
This is a great substitute for Mrs. Grass Onion Soup Mix combined with sour cream. A lot less salt and fat! Weight Watcher’s suggests using it as a dip with vegetables; I would prefer some roasted, sliced red potatoes or some baked potato chips. As a dip for vegetables this just does not work for … Continue reading
In our freezer there was always vanilla ice cream or orange sherbet (occasionally both) and sometimes pecan ice cream. So, I knew this would be a big hit in my home. This is a really refreshing and yummy dessert that is a beverage. I could drink the whole recipe but unfortunately you are only allowed 1 cup … Continue reading
On a recent trip to my Farmers Market there were some new vendors selling their products. I am a big fan of supporting and buying any Michigan products. One was the Pure Harvest Pesto Company located in New Hudson, Michigan who makes sun-dried tomato and basil pesto (their two pestos are available at Busch’s). The other … Continue reading

This recipe comes from one of my edible flower cookbooks, ‘Flowers in the Kitchen’ by Susan Belsinger. A small, simple book but it has great recipes. It was published in 1991 and for over 20 years this cookbook … Continue reading
A summer cannot go by without making homemade shortcakes topped with Michigan strawberries and whipped cream. The strawberries this year were the best that I can recall in a long time. They were so big, red and juicy and paired great with fresh shortcakes. Sometimes I like to make a pound cake but I usually … Continue reading
This is a very good dish especially with all of the onions. Weight Watcher’s calls this dish a Southern classic – I call it tasty!
This is a delicious potato dish by Weight Watcher’s with only 3 points per wedge. Tender potatoes with a crunchy crust.
This is a quick appetizer to serve when you have unexpected company. Only two ingredients and you have a lower fat dip. Weight Watcher’s points only 1 per 2 tbsp. (does not include the pretzels). If you serve this with vegetables this recipe would be healthier as most vegetables have no points. I used Snyder’s of … Continue reading
