Sugar Donut Mini-Muffins

Sugar Donut Mini-Muffins by Terri Powers

This week, I found a similar recipe at Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice, but the recipe produced a smaller batch and Reeni suggested using mini-muffin tins so you get some sugar with every bite.I thought 28 little muffins would be better. After all, a little muffin is better portion control. Yes, it's portion control if you eat one…

Chicken and Dumpling Soup

Chicken and Dumpling Soup by Terri Powers

My maternal grandmother was Jewish and the stereotypical dish in a Jewish cook's kitchen is, of course, a pot of chicken soup. According to my Grandma, chicken soup could cure everything from a cold to a broken heart. I don't know about that, but it sure cured whatever ailed me when I was eating it. But I was only 8 or 9 years old at…

Oreo Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes....Ooooo Baby!

Oreo Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes....Ooooo Baby! by Terri Powers

I knew the weather was going to be bad. The meteorologists had been predicting it for days. First sleet, then ice pellets (which I think are still technically considered sleet), then snow. So I went shopping Wednesday morning and picked up the Oreos to make these little babies.I found these delights at Dishin' and Dishes. Katie…

Just munchies.I like to have several things to choose from that will agree with several different tastes and palates. So far, these are…

So, You Think You Love Bacon??

So, You Think You Love Bacon?? by Terri Powers

I am usually of the opinion that if you add a little bacon to a dish, it probably will make it better.A dish Tom makes on occasion is Spaghetti Carbonara, basically just spaghetti, eggs, parmesan, cream and bacon. Now, what's not to like? But, to put it mildly, it's obviously not the most healthy dish I've ever eaten, which is why we…

Greek Orzo Salad with Shrimp

Greek Orzo Salad with Shrimp by Terri Powers

Can you hear me smacking my lips? Can you see me drooling? This salad was fantastic! What made it so different from any other summer salad? The vinaigrette - simple and fresh tasting.We were taking a trip to the lake this past weekend to spend some time on the boat and, of course, I was thinking about what to pack in the cooler for…
