French Onion Turkey Casserole
This is a great recipe if you have any turkey left over from your big holiday meals! I found this recipe for French Onion Turkey Casserole at CampbellsKitchen.com. As I typically do, though, I added extra cheese to this, and I’m glad I did–I thought it was great with the extra cheese!

Lincoln’s Proclamation of Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I thought I’d share a little about some of the history of the holiday! On October 3, 1863, President Lincoln’s Proclamation of Thanksgiving set the precedent for our country’s national day of Thanksgiving. It proclaims the last Thursday of November “as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise.” Prior to…

Pam’s Pumpkin Sheet Cake
Pam shares my love for baking, and she recently gave me this wonderful recipe for a pumpkin cake. It’s a large sheet-cake style cake, so it’s really easy to make and perfect for group get-togethers like potlucks, club meetings…any gathering where you have hungry people to feed! 🙂 I haven’t come across anyone who hasn’t…

Frozen Strawberry Pie from A Year of Pies

If you like Caprese Salad or Margherita Pizza, you’ll want to try this tart! It has sliced mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil in it–yum! This summer, I’ve been wanting to make some sort of a tomato tart and I came up with the idea of making a Caprese Tart!

Tomato Basil Avocado Soup
This cool, summer soup sounded good to me because it didn’t involve any cooking, and it has been so hot these past couple of days! This is a “raw food” recipe. You may have heard about all the health benefits there are to eating raw. I’ve read a little about it, although I’m no expert…

Lemon-Zucchini Loaf with Lemon Glaze
I baked this loaf late one evening, sleepily mixing the glaze while the loaf was cooling. A little later, yawning while I drenched the loaf with the lemon glaze, I was hoping, after this late night baking session, that this creation of mine would taste good when I tried it the next day.
