Tortellini Soup

This tortellini soup recipe is super easy and can be prepared in about 20-30 minutes.  I pre-cooked the carrots and celery before adding them to the soup, to make preparation even faster.  This is delicious and won the Tony award. :)  Thanks, Tony.

Dinette Cake - easy and just the right size for a small gathering

Dinette Cake is a small, 1 egg cake that carries and keeps well.  It's just the right size for a snowy night at home. Or a sunny one.  I use buttercream chocolate icing on this cake, but you could easily swap it out for strawberries and whipped cream or whatever you like.

Easy Alfredo Sauce Without Cream Cheese

This is a super easy Alfredo sauce and does not require cream cheese. You can use skim milk, regular milk, cream or a combination thereof. It is scrumptious with tortelini or fettucini.  Try, be creative, and enjoy.

Creamy Artichoke Lasagna

This amazing Vegetarian Lasagna, has a tasty, creamy flavor with the added surprise of artichokes.  I tried 3 stores to find fresh baby artichokes before I gave up.  I ended up using canned artichoke hearts.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

My sister tried out these Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats and her dogs loved them.  So, have one dog that eats anything and one that is very picky.  The picky one is Elkie.  After I made these, she sat up and begged for them.  Success.

Isabel's Chocolate Biscoti
