Recently, I decided it would be wonderful to publish a cookbook containing the traditional recipes passed down from my family. So, I invaded my mother’s tattered old recipe box, gathered the treasured recipes, and recorded her tidbits on where they originated from. I included them in Tasteful Memories, A Collection of Family Comfort Food Recipes.
This book is a collection of recipes from my family that are near and dear to my heart. Many of my relatives featured in this collection have passed away. It gives me great pleasure to let their spirit live on when others make these delicious concoctions.
These recipes have come straight out of the old recipe box of my mother’s. You will find an assortment of desserts, entrees, side dishes and a lot of love within these pages. I grew up on these recipes and I hope that it brings a little taste of my home into yours.
Tasteful Memories includes over twenty recipes, including:: Best Ever Baked Beans, Cheesy Baked Chicken, Italian Chicken and Potatoes, Potato Cheese Soup, Chef Roberto’s Spaghetti Sauce, Stuffed Peppers, Cinnamon Apples, Cheese Wafers, Strawberry Pie, and MORE!
The next thing I wanted to complete was a book filled with CHOCOLATE recipes! So, I published another book, Gimme That Chocolate! The PMS Survival Cookbook
We have all been there. When you are at your finest PMS moments, nothing in this world can satisfy your intense taste for a woman’s best friend…That moment when you get the insatiable craving for CHOCOLATE! Inside these pages you will find a collection of 30 of my favorite chocolate desserts and treats that I have enjoyed making over the years. These recipes are simple to make and will quench even the strongest of hormonal cravings!
Some of the recipes included are: Chocolate Crescents, Chocolate Cherry Bliss, Decadent Chocolate Mousse, Munchie Mix, Chocolate Coconut Coffee Cake, Chocolate Martini and MANY MORE!
The last cookbook I completed was created out of my love for cheese. You can put cheese on almost anything, and it tastes good. Oh CHEESE! Homestyle Cheesy Favorites is packed with delicious and simple to prepare recipes.
Cheese is one of the most comforting ingredients you can add to a recipe. There are so many wonderful types to choose from, each with it’s own unique flavor. In this book, I have put together a selection of my all time favorite homestyle cheesy dishes. Feel free to substitute the type of cheese in the recipe with one of your favorites. Add extra if you like! You will find that these recipes are simple to follow, quick to make and taste delightful. You can never go wrong with cheese!
OVER 30 Recipes! Included are: Cheddar Cheese Dollars, Broccoli Cheese Chicken Pot Pie, Cream Cheese Chicken Puffs, Chili Cheese Rice, Easy Enchiladas, Cheesy Lunch Pockets, Pierogi Casserole, Cheddar Zucchini Bake and MORE!
All three of these cookbooks are available for download on the Kindle and in softcover print. I know you will enjoy the yummy goodness between the pages of my newest books.
I have several others in the works, so keep your eyes peeled!
