Blueberry White Chocolate Scones

One of my most favorite things to treat myself to with my afternoon tea or coffee is a delicious scone. I frequently buy one at one of my local bakeries, but none of them offer this combination of blueberries and white chocolate.

Beef and Potato Stew

Today was a chilly day with snowflakes swirling in the air. The temperature took a nose dive from this week end's balmy mid 70s to barely reaching 40 today. There seems to be no end to the weirdness of the weather this season. Well, it was a perfect day for meat and potatoes!

Ham and Parsley Risotto

If you are looking for ways to use up any of that leftover Easter ham I urge you to try this recipe. This Ham and Parsley Risotto is really easy to make although as with any risotto it  is somewhat of a high maintenance dish to make, due to the constant stirring and adding of liquid.

Indian Chicken curry Soup with carrots, apple, ginger and Chili

Even though I have found little time for my blogging this year this recipe is just too good to not be shared with all of my friends. It comes from my favorite Norwegian food blogger Trine at www.trinesmatblogg.no She has reached somewhat of a celebrity status in the Norwegian cooking world, and for good reason.

Slow-cooker beef and tomato stew

I

I came upon this recipe in Everyday Food, a small recipe booklet from the kitchens of Martha Stewart. I love this little magazine. It is always chuck-full of delicious recipes and ideas. I have made many of them and Martha never disappoints. I was so happy to see a slow-cooker recipe in the latest issue and it was the first meal I made in my new slow-cooker.

Slow-cooker Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches

This week I want to share some really good slow-cooker recipes. This is a new cooking method for me since I just recently purchased one.Slow-cookers (or Crock pots as they are commonly called) have been around for decades and many of my friends tell me they own one but never use it. Well, lately it seems the slow-cooker is experiencing somewhat of a revival. There are many new beautiful slow-cooker cookbooks out there and every major food magazine have run features on slow-cooking and offer many wonderful recipes.

Butternut Squash and Ham Soup

This is a great winter soup that I am confident your whole family will enjoy. My 10-year old daughter asked me if "I could make that really good soup with squash and ham", and I said "most definitely!" I love this soup, I just forgot about it for a while.
