'Tis the Season for Chex Cereal

Wheat chex, corn chex or rice chex......use them one or use them all, but let's face it, this cereal can be used in so many ways.

There's the traditional Chex Mix or Puppy Chow but some days I prefer to add a new twist to the old flavor.

Rhubarb Season: Rhubarb Surprise Pie

I love rhubarb! I'll say it again.....I LOVE RHUBARB!!!

I could literally eat rhubarb in some form or another at every meal. In fact, I at a piece of this pie for breakfast this morning. Not gonna lie......I eat sweets for breakfast!

This recipe was given to me by my grandmother. She also gave me my first two rhubarb plants about ten years ago.  They are old plants that produce giant stalks of rhubarb each year.

Rhubarb Season: Raspberry Rhubarb Crunch

I love RHUBARB!

Of course, not everyone develops a taste for this tart and tangy morsel.  That's fine with me and my family. We love it!

White Chocolate Raspberry Brownies

Looking for a quick and easy way to jazz up a box of brownies? Look no further.

Add to your grocery list:

One box of brownie mix
One jar of raspberry preserves
One box of white chocolate squares

Oh and make sure you have eggs and oil on hand for the brownie mix.

Just look at that chocolate, more chocolate and preserves. Mmmmmmm!

Fruit Delight - So Delightful

Last summer, my family and I visited our wonderful Polish friend in Idaho. (She's really not polish, we just tease her about her last name.) We visited Yellowstone National Park and spent some wonderful days visiting the west. Squirrel and Bugs were speechless. They didn't know a country without corn fields but with beautiful mountains and wildlife existed.

Cider Glazed Pork Chops with Parsnips and Carrots

Nothing like a wonderful meal of pork chops and veggies. Not to mention a great dessert.

I have very few ingredients pictures as I had a true BLONDE moment when I started this receipe.....I forgot to put in my CF Card. Oops! Oh well, this recipe is so easy that that you don't need photos. All you need pork chops and a few ingredients.

The rest of the ingredients are easy.....olive oil, apple juice, brown sugar, cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic cloves, mustard, and ginger. Brown the chops and then pour over the ingredients.

These pork chops go great with parships and carrots. This dish is a wonderful way to get your children to eat a new veggie. Granted, parsnips aren't cheap but I want my children to try a little bit of EVERYTHING.

The ingredients for the Parsnip Carrot Medley are simple.....chicken broth, parsnips, carrots, butter, honey, salt and cayenne pepper. For those of you who aren't familiar with parsnips, my children call them white carrots.

Peel the parsnips and carrots and slice into bite size pieces. Bring them to a boil in the chicken broth. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until veggies are tender.

Add the remaining ingredients and heat through. Serve with the pork chops.

This dish is delicious and great combination of sweet and salty! Be adventurous and try a new veggie! I'm anxious to hear the comments.

Dessert will be posted on Tuesday.....delicious, sinful Caramel Bars!

Chocolate...one word that can easily be found in a woman's vocabulary and dictionary.

Chocolate...milk, dark, sweet, delicious, comforting, soothing, better than @#$....need I say more!

I couldn't resist the temptation. One little, sweet morsel of heaven.

I took the plunge. I slaved away in the kitchen.

A few ingredients for my pie.

And waited....40 long, angonizing, torturing minutes.
