Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Someone once asked me what my favorite cookie was. It made me realize that there are so many good cookies in the world, how can I possibly choose one? This cookie has been a classic in our house for years. It is just our basic chocolate chip cookie recipe but instead of two cups of…
Chili Rellenos Casserole
I love chili rellenos! Yes, it is true – it is my go to order at any Mexican restaurant. I actually judge the restaurant by how they prepare the chili rellenos, among other things (salsa, guacamole, refried beans). Don’t know what the heck I’m talking about? A chili relleno is a hatch chili that has…
Broccoli Quiche
Raise your hand if you like quiche! The thing I love about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can use just about any vegetable. So if you have asparagus in your refrigerator, add it to the quiche. I have made it with cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, and the aformentioned asparagus. If you want to…
Cinnamon Rolls
I remember the first time I made these cinnamon rolls.* I took them to a play date at the park in the neighborhood we lived in at the time. My kids were little – I don’t even think Beau was born yet. We were having a pot luck lunch and I showed up with two…
Aioli and more
Have you been to a french fry places and been overwhelmed at all of the dipping sauce choices? If you are like me, you get a bit of each to try and then go back for your favorites. One of my favorites is garlic aioli. It is a traditional mayonnaise based Mediterranean sauce or dip,…
Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
Are your children nugget fans? Do they seem too difficult or daunting to make yourself? That’s how I used to feel. I made them once or twice and said, this is for the birds. Either frying them in my fryer or on the stove in a frying pan was messy and guess work in regards…
Biscuits
In my book, biscuits should be layers of buttery, fluffy, flaking goodness. You never want to bite into a biscuit and all you get is mush, or worse, something hard or chewy. Biscuits should melt in your mouth and only get better with more butter and honey or ramp it up – sausage and gravy!…
Coconut Tres Leches
What a better way to jazz up a tres leches cake than to add coconut? I have a hard time resisting tres leches as it is, but when you add coconut, I’m a goner. Really this should be called coconut quatro leches cake because there are actually four milks, but that just doesn’t sound right.…
Vanilla Buddies
We make all kinds of “buddies” for the holidays at our house, and sometimes we even make them when it isn’t a holiday! Of course, an all time favorite are the muddy buddies with peanut butter and chocolate, but I have to say, these vanilla buddies are equally as good. They are made with only…
Chop Suey
This is a Hartline family recipe. It has a story! Andy’s grandmother came to America in 1914 from Berlin, Germany. In the early 1930s she worked at a Chinese restaurant in Erie, PA called La Meda Tea Room. She got this recipe from that Chinese restaurant and it has been a family favorite ever since.…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
