Got this off a can of Dole pineapple or pineapple juice. I’ve had it for years and never tried it until just recently. It was delicious! I made it for a large gathering so I was shopping at Sam’s for pineapple juice, and all they had was pineapple-peach-mango juice, so that’s actually what I used. [...]

I made this up. It was quite tasty, even more so leftover the next day or two! 1 c frozen pineapple 2 fresh kiwis 2 fresh mangos 1 c frozen strawberries Mix all together. Adjust the amount of fruit as desired. Make ahead of time so the frozen fruits have time to melt somewhat and [...]

Found this on cooks.com, looking for a good base scone recipe that I could flavor the way I wanted to. Despite being made with whole wheat flour, these scones are not heavy, and they have just a light sweetness to them. Try the two flavors I did below! 1 3/4 c whole wheat flour 3 [...]

This delicious soup recipe came from my sister. My husband and I loved it. It’s good as a chunky stew, or pureed into a smooth and creamy soup. I think I may have liked it a little bit better pureed than as a stew. 2 tsp olive oil 1 c medium onion, chopped 1/2 green [...]

My version of a salad I’ve had at other people’s houses. Kinda had to make up the measurements, so you may have to tweak it to your own liking. It definitely needs more carrots than broccoli. I’m always surprised by how much I like it. 1 1/2 to 2 c grated raw carrots (also a [...]

This recipe comes from the package of crystallized ginger made by The Ginger People. I like them because they come out really chewy. I changed a few things, reduced the butter and replaced the sugar with honey, and added a dash of cayenne because I like them really spicy. They’re still a special occasion thing [...]

Way back in November or early December my sister and I were discussing homemade Christmas gift ideas. I remembered a delicious granola recipe I got from a friend several years ago, and decided this would be our gift to friends and neighbors this year. I added the dried cranberries to make it a little more [...]

This is my favorite not-from-scratch dish. Don’t even ask me where the idea came from, it just came to me one day when I was making this couscous. I love the crunch of the walnuts and how colorful the carrots and kidney beans make the dish. It’s super fast and easy to make, too. 1 [...]

This idea came from my cousin last Christmas; I don’t remember if she made it this exact way or not, I’ve made it a couple of different ways since then. Anyway, this is how I made it for lunch yesterday and I could hardly get enough! It’s really that good. baby spinach 1 can mandarin oranges [...]
