Cheese and Potato Soup in the Instant Pot



 Fall and Winter I bring on the soup and stews! Nothing beats a crackling fire and a bowl of hot soup with a crusty piece of bread!

Farmer's Breakfast Casserole



I made this Farmer's Breakfast Casserole the other morning for two of our children and their families, 10 people total! We met our family at a home we rented on the Oregon coast for a long week end. This Farmer's breakfast was so easy and scrumptious! It is perfect for the holiday brunch, a family get together or a brunch for the soccer team! You can do all the preparation the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning or just make it all in the morning, either way, it is perfectly delicious!

I turned the page and "POW" it's Fall!  It is time for Pumpkin Spice everything! It is time for Pumpkin Spice lattes, Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Muffins, Pumpkin PancakesPumpkin Ravioli's and Pumpkin Bread....which is what prompted me to make this delicious Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal.  I have a can of pumpkin puree and a carton of almond milk and a grandson who I am constantly trying out a new recipe on!

Mixed Berry Cobbler


 My friend and golfing bud, Cindy made the most delicious cobbler for our annual Seafair Party in August. Everyone raved about it... begging for the recipe. I was able to get it to share with the world. This is 15 minutes prep time and 40 minutes of baking.

Instant Pot Manilla Clams with Bacon



One of my favorite things about the cuisine in the Pacific Northwest is Manilla clams.....everyone who knows me, knows I love Manilla clams! Did you know you don’t have to go to Manila to get manila clams? We have them right here!!

Shellfish are a very healthy choice. Clams are low in fat, high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also a rich source of potassium, and a very good source of Protein, and if you are watching the waistline, pretty low in calories. Mussels are much the same and very high in iron, but, have a different flavor than Manilla clams.
