Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin

Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin - YUM! As you may have guessed, I love cauliflower. I think I have posted about 14 other cauliflower recipes. This one is wonderfully creamy and cheesy. You can also top this with ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan mixed with ¼ cup fresh bread crumbs instead of Saltines.

Southwest Breakfast Strata

Southwest Breakfast Strata

I have a house full of relatives and I needed an easy breakfast option. Usually, I would make this with corn tortillas, but I liked the flour tortilla option. I have slightly tweeked this recipe. I made this the night before, which makes it so easy in the morning. All I have to do is stumble to the coffee maker and take it out of the fridge. (actually my husband does the stumbling)

Hershey’s Chocolate Pound Cake

Hershey’s Chocolate Pound Cake

Hershey’s Chocolate Pound Cake is so moist and delicious, perfect to serve with tea. I was discussing family Christmas traditions with my friend Pam. She said her mother makes this Hershey's Chocolate Pound Cake and that they eat it on Christmas morning. Of course, I made it immediately. This made one bundt cake and 4 mini loaves. Next time, I will line the loaf pans with parchment paper. This cake is so moist and delicious, perfect to serve with tea. Thanks Pam!

Cheese Snackles

Cheese Snackles

Cheese Snackles - My brother-in-law Russell came last week and brought us a bag of these fabulous cheese crackers. They were so good, I asked him to get the recipe from his friend, Rose-Marie, who is constantly asked to bring them to social gatherings. She got the recipe from her friend Ann who died at age 50 in 1989, so she is glad to have her friend remembered. Thank you Rose-Marie!

Sausages with Herbed Beans

This is a great weeknight meal. It's very similar to cassoulet, which is a rich, slow-cooked casserole originating in the south of France, containing sausage and other meats. The beauty of this recipe is that unlike cassoulet, it cooks very quickly. I sent my husband, Eric, the shopping list via text message, he actually bought already cooked Portuguese smoke cured sausage seasoned with garlic and paprika. I thought it wouldn't work, but it was really delicious and I will be making this again.

Lemon & Thyme Potato Gratin

I made this Lemon Thyme Potato Gratin for a client (which I will have to admit, I had never made before!). She called me a week later and said it was the best potato gratin they had ever had, and can I make it again for a party using her pan. It's based on a Martha Stewart recipe. I used cream instead of milk - maybe that's why it was so good! Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the final product because I delivered it par baked...

Chocolate Pots de Crème

I made this Chocolate Pots de Crème for a dinner party. Warning! It's very rich. You might want to put them into ramekins half the size! Also, I shaved some additional chocolate onto the top.
