2019, Cocktail, Colleen, Dave, Homemade condiments

Ready to let them sit for a bit before using

Anyone that knows me is aware that I like to have a cocktail in the evening. OK, maybe sometimes more than one.

My favorite cocktail is a bourbon Manhattan. I prefer mine “up” and garnished with a cherry. Most cocktail recipes call for a maraschino cherry as the garnish. It works but a booze-infused cherry is sooo much better.

You can buy bourbon cherries, however, they are a bit on the expensive side costing around $20 for a small jar of them. In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make them at a fraction of the cost.

This recipe isn’t original. We found it on WebMD of all places. Go figure. Time to make us some yummy cherries.

2019, Colleen, Dessert

I never made a baked cheesecake in all my years of occasionally baking. It just sounds like way too much trouble when I’d look at recipes. However, Colleen changed my mind when she made this cheesecake. Sure, you still have to adjust temps and let things sit for certain time periods but it’s not that hard.

We’ve made this a couple of times and it’s been a hit. So, throw caution to the wind and give this one a go.

January weather is on the colder side here in Delaware. Great time to break out soup type recipes. Here’s one loosely based on a recipe from Spend with Pennies.

In our version, we added more veggies, used crab leg for the fish, and adjusted the seasoning by increasing the Old Bay and adding in some red pepper flake. We also like our chowder on the thinner side so we used half & half instead of heavy cream and used less of it but added more wine. For us, this recipe covers all the bases when it comes to chowder.

This recipe is from a good friend’s wife, Connie. It’s a simple recipe that goes together quickly. We’ve made it a couple of times and it’s a hit every time! I know that I have to stay away from it, otherwise I’m shoveling the stuff down my throat! Definitely yummy! Make some and let me know what you think about it.

2019, Chocolate, Colleen, Dave, Dessert

In January 2019, Colleen and I traveled to Cape Charles, VA for a few days. While there, we invited the next door neighbors, Mike and Terry, over for dinner. They brought a wonderful bottle of French wine and dessert. For the dessert, Terry made a dish called “Crack”. The name fits it well because you take one bite and it tends to get one hooked on it.

I’ve seen this recipe online but this one seems to be a variation by Terry. Anyway, easy to make and even easier to eat!

Thank you for sharing it with us, Mike and Terry! Continue reading →

We love chopped salad. This one is a good one to take to a party as it looks great with the layers. It’s so good looking that at one party we attended and brought it, no one wanted to dig in and mess it up! Continue reading →
