Apple Cake Tatin

It's an apple tatin with cake instead of pastry. Apples with caramel atop a layer of moist cake. Really good.

Artichoke Pesto Torta

Another good recipe if you love artichokes. Moderately easy to make. It's layers of artichoke pesto and cream cheese formed into a tort. Serve with bread or crackers.

Butternut Squash Soup

Very simple recipe, what makes it special is the freshly grated ginger. I gives it some spice and some heat.

The filling is easy to make, but preparing the pepperoncini and pipping the mixture into each one is tedious. They are worth the trouble, but only if you have the time and patience.

Cheddar Potato Soup

I reduced the cheddar from 8 ounces to 6 ounces and it's still a very rich soup. I also substituted baked potatoes for the mashed potatoes. All in all a very good soup.

Chicken Pot Pie

This is one of my favorites, the chicken is moist and tender and the sauce is smooth and silky. I don't like peas so I substituted green beans and corn. I make extra and freeze them, then I can have them anytime.

Flower Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for my daughter's wedding shower. The cupcake mixture contains sour cream to make them moist and delicious. There is also a cream cheese frosting that goes beautifully with them.

Pastura

This dough is made with over a cup of honey,and it has a filling of chocolate, cream and almonds. It's a very sticky dough, so it must be rolled between two pieces of wax paper. But it's worth the effort, the cookies are great.

Sesame Chicken Satay

Who doesn't like chicken satay. This is a simple version that is very tasty.

Very tasty and quick to put together. I changed a few things,added red pepper flakes and put it together in the serving bowl instead of the pan. Added the breadcrumbs last,so they stayed crispy. This dish is all about the olives, so you must like them.

This is a great pasta for a hot summer's night. Only the pasta is cooked, everything else is fresh and light.

Spinach Parmesan Balls

This is a simple appetizer to make, but forming the 30 to 40 balls of spinach takes time and patience. The only ingredient that I didn't like was the margarine,but when this recipe aired on TV they said it didn't work well with butter. The recipe is still worth making.
