Spaghetti Pie Recipe
Ahhhh, pasta! I love all things with pasta and cheese. So does my daughter. My son eats nuggets. And tenders. A few other items but basically he’s going to cluck one day *lol* From lasagna (roll-up’s too) to manicotti and all the in-betweens. I make an awesome baked spaghetti too – there is a difference between spaghetti, baked spaghetti and spaghetti pie. Making any of those with my daughter takes me back to the summer’s I spent up north with my Gramps. He was a great cook and I spent hours upon hours with him in the kitchen. Now I get the same joy teaching my daughter these recipes –…

Scrumptious Strawberry Recipes You Must Try Out!
Fresh summer strawberries are one of the most popular, refreshing, and healthy treats. They also carry a number of health benefits. Did you know there are over 600 varieties of strawberries? The sweet, slightly tart berries rank among the top 10 fruits and vegetables for antioxidant content. (Source: Medical News Today). They are an excellent source of antioxidant-promoting vitamin C and manganese and a good source of dietary fiber, iodine, and folate. And if that isn’t enough to convince you to eat more strawberries, they are a good source of copper, potassium, biotin, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B6, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Still Using the Power Pressure Cooker (Pt 2)
Most of you know if you read my last post about the Power Pressure Cooker XL that I am experimenting and trying some of my tried and true – regular oven/stove top made recipes in it. Obviously, I am still using it (almost daily) and I’m still in awe of it and daily feel as if someone gave me magic beans! I still love being a “lemming” / having a “lemming pot” and the best part is that the kids are really enjoying – and I mean REALLY enjoying their food too! Never has food tasted as flavorful before. I mean I can cook and felt like I was a…

No Cooking Under Pressure with the Power Pressure Cooker XL
The last six months I have listened to my friends rave about their “lemming” pot. I would read and listen intently and never really thought about it.

Then one night after the holidays were in the rear-view mirror I woke up to the tele (yes, I’d left it on) and there on my television was the Power Pressure Cooker XL. I have never been as fascinated as I was right then and there (and still am). I wanted to make ribs, macaroni, chili, and everything else in a fraction of the time, in one pot no less;…
