Asparagus and Spring go hand in hand. This Asparagus and walnut side dish is sauteed in a rich nutty walnut oil, seasoned with minced garlic, coarse black pepper, and salt. It’s topped off with creamy feta cheese. It’s truly one of the easiest asparagus side dishes you’ll make this spring and will look beautiful on your Easter Table!

I did it! I went over to the dark side! I took a perfectly innocent head of Cauliflower and turned it into the most AMAZING veggie and ham Fried Rice and topped it off with rich flavorful boneless skinless chicken thighs.I only have one thing to say… “This is Cauliflower?!!!” It’s gonna rock your socks my friends! Bonus…it’s LOW CARB! What is happening to me!
Any Lemon Lover’s out there? I’m the president of the Lemon Lover’s Fan Club. Truly! If it’s lemon…I’m ALL in! One of my very favorite lemon desserts is Lemon Meringue Pie. I took my time coming up with spectacular version…tweaking it until I had it just right. I wanted to give you a pie that was piled high with sweet dreamy Mile High Golden Meringue and filled with a slightly tart fresh creamy lemon filling. The results are this superb Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie! It’s Sunshine on a plate!
I absolutely adore Roasted Rotisserie Style Sticky Chicken. The kind you can order at your favorite restaurant, or purchase at your favorite market. Finding, and adapting, this recipe, that allows me to make it at home, was a huge “win”! Not only for me… but for all the chicks at this Nest! I know the “loves” at your NEST will enjoy this tender juicy, finger licking, chicken as much as we do.
Valentines Day should be all about the Chocolate Hearts! I just prefer my hearts Flaky, buttery, and filled with a Rich, Creamy, Dark Godiva Chocolate! Throw some sweet red cherries, a good sprinkle of powder sugar, and you can skip the diamonds and drug store card! Just hand over one of these Chocolate Cherry Napoleons and I’m a happy lady. It’s pastry and chocolate for crying out loud! I’ll be hiding out in the closet if ya need me.
I’m drawn to Crispy Crusty Artisan Bread like a moth to light! Honestly it doesn’t matter where we are…if there’s a loaf of Crusty Artisan Bread around…you’ll find me there! Some women like diamonds…I like bread! What can I say? This No-Knead Artisan Bread helps soothe my inner “bread beast”, but touch that crusty heel… and I can’t make any promises.
As a Mom, and Grandma, I’m always looking for budget friendly dishes to make for our growing Nest of little grandchicks’s and their parents! My new Beef Smoked Sausage Casserole has it all! Delicious smoked beef sausage, hearty red potatoes, vegetables, smothered in one incredible rich creamy cheese sauce that will have ya wanting to lick the plate clean! This is 100% pure comfort food on a family friendly budget!
Confessions…This Nest is not loaded with traditional spaghetti lovers! (Including the head “chick”.) It’s true…I’m not a big lover of spaghetti. Oh, I made it while the kids were growing up and my husband loves it…but the rest of us? Eh! So I decided to go another direction…and let’s just say…everyone LOVED it!
Today I’m talking about my constant cruelty to the perfectly harmless banana! It’s true. I mistreat them something horrible. In my defense I do turn them into amazing, wonderful treats. Like these scrumptious Banana Crumb Muffins! Friends…that “crumb”!!! These muffins are THE BEST!
I’ve been getting my “Italian on” the last week or so! Which is really interesting… because the only Italian running through my veins is when I eat pizza… or snarf down a piece of Tiramisu! Hmmm? Yep…I’ve been focusing on rich creamy sauces tossed with al dente pastas and delectable meats…like this Ah-mazing dish with it’s tender juicy Pork Tenderloin Medallions. Is it good? Let’s just say “somebody” had three servings…and it wasn’t me! Not because I didn’t want to…but because it was ALL GONE! lol You have got to try this one friends. It’s beyond delicious!
