Carmelized Banana Creme Pie
Let me tell you, you only make this pie for someone you really love. It's not quick, but it is delicious. It's really good if you can find chocolate wafer cookies, but if not, I've also used ginger and almond cookies. You could use graham crackers in a pinch (maybe chocolate ones?). I made this… Continue reading Carmelized Banana Creme Pie
Molasses Cookies
A zillion years ago when I worked in the corporate world, I worked with a girl at NCD who brought these in for my birthday. I was so touched, and they were so moist and chewy that I've made them ever since! Molasses Cookies3/4 cup margarine or butter (this is the only reason I buy… Continue reading Molasses Cookies

Sand Lake Cookies
My friend Margit brought these to me at an impromptu Halloween party in 1999 at my house. I thought they looked "interesting," but oh when I tasted them... They were great!

The mixture of asparagus, basil, and walnuts make this a bite of heaven. Debone the roasted… Continue reading Book Club Pasta
Chili Egg Puff Breakfast Casserole
We would not steer you wrong. Egg casseroles are a dime a dozen, and this is a clear winner. I think it is from my friend Sandy in Portland, but it's been so long, who knows now. I follow the directions, except that sometimes I add some good diced ham for another all-in-one meal. If… Continue reading Chili Egg Puff Breakfast Casserole
Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie
The Superstorms of 2011 brought out comfort food at its best. Thanks to the Super Bowl, we have a cute name for a week of ice and snow. I love a good pot pie. I make this and also add a half of a cubed potato. I used smoked turkey that was left over from… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie
Butternut Squash Lasagna
I'm crazy about butternut squash, especially when I find it already peeled and cubed. This recipe isn't exactly quick, but it makes 2 pretty big ones, so you have an extra for the freezer or for a friend. It's another Cooking Light recipe, with only 254 calories per portion. But don't hold this against it.… Continue reading Butternut Squash Lasagna
