One of my favorite recipes from my Mom are her Stuffed Green Peppers. I cannot even begin to count the number of times I have had called her to remind me how to make them. I even wrote it down at one point, only to misplace it once we moved. However, she was sweet enough to email me the recipe so that I will never be without it again. I have never been a fan of green peppers, but this recipe definitely changed that and I am sure it will for you as well!

You will need:

1 lb hamburger
2 large onions
2 cans tomato sauce (paste with water added may be used)
1 can chopped tomatoes (or fresh)
4 cups cooked rice
cheddar cheese or mozzarella, etc.
6 or more green peppers

1. Start hamburger cooking, add chopped onions and cook until well-browned.

2. Mix in tomato sauce, rice, and tomatoes.

3. Cut tops of green peppers off and save. Remove insides of peppers. Blanch peppers and tops in pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes, remove and let drain, then salt the inside of the peppers well. Stand peppers up and put in alternating layers of hamburger mix and grated cheese.

4. Place peppers; with tops on, upright in a pan (I use a cake pan), cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour.

You are going to absolutely love these, as will your whole family. I also would like to thank my Mom for letting me share her delicious recipe (Thanks Mom)!

As a child, I remember watching She-Ra as well as He-Man. So I was very lucky to get the chance to create a She-Ra cake for a friend’s birthday! This was my first time re-creating a cake image like this by hand, but I had a blast and I love how it turned out!

The cake itself was chocolate with buttercream frosting. I used Wilton color dyes to create the different colors and as always, my many Wilton cake decorating tools to help me along the way ♥

Last Christmas, I received “Baking with the Cake Boss“ from my Husband. So when I was looking to bake something new recently, I opened the book and chose the Tarelles {Vanilla Cookies}. The recipe is very simple and easy to recreate, so I thought this would be something great to try since I already had the ingredients necessary in my kitchen and didn’t have to spend very long to make it.

You will need:

• 1 and 1/4 cups sugar
•  2 eggs
•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  1 and 1/4 cups vegetable shortening
•  1/2 cup milk
• 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 
• 2 and 1/4 cups pastry flour {or additional all-purpose flour}
•  2 teaspoons baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine sugar, eggs and vanilla together and mix. Add shortening and mix for roughly 30 seconds. Add milk and mix until absorbed; add flour and baking powder.

Flour a work surface and separate dough into 2.  Roll out into a rope that is 1 inch by 30 inches long. Cut into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces. Roll each piece out to form a rope and bend to make a circle. Place on a nonstick cooking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

The cookies turned out fantastically and had such a deliciously light taste to them. Enjoy!

I wanted to share a quick and easy recipe for Asparagus Breakfast Frittata.  I found the recipe in Parents Magazine and modified it a little and my family loved it!  You will need:

♥ 1/2 cup Asaparagus (cut into 1-inch chunks).
♥ 5 eggs
♥ 1/4 – 1/2 cup of your favorite cheese
♥ 1/4 cup milk
♥ 1/4 tsp salt
♥ 1/4 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, but mix Asparagus in last.   Using a 9-inch, lightly greased pie plate, bake in the oven at 375 Degrees Farhenheit for about 20 minutes (until set).

Breakfast really does not get any easier than that!  Enjoy♥
