Recipes

I love to cook and, for the most part, like to keep things healthy.  But every now and then, especially when it comes to traditional recipes, I splurge.  Here are some of my favorites.  Check back--I will be adding more!

Meats

Authentic Italian Meatballs The secret ingredient that makes this meatball stand out is veal.

Crock-pot Venison Roast Recipe Trust me, no gaminess here!


Soups

Pizza Soup This is definitely a kid friendly recipe, but the entire family enjoys it!

Muffins 

Frankenmuffins  This is the easiest way to get your kids to eat their greens with these sweet, spinach filled muffins!

Nearly Guilt-Free Banana Chip Muffins Loaded with goodness, this muffin packs a punch while satisfying your sweet tooth.

Breads

Italian Easter Bread This bread recipe comes from the Calabria area of Italy and has been passed down for generations.  

Sweet Pawpaw Bread Just introduced to the Pawpaw this year and I can't wait for next year's crop to make this bread again!

Sweets

Lacy Thin Pizzelles This recipe was my mom's favorite.  Lightly flavored with anise and lacy thin--perfect with coffee or tea.
