Rhubarb Cheesecake Bars

Rhubarb Cheesecake Bars by Krista

I grew up eating a variety of rhubarb baked goods in the springtime. The stalks sprout up every year along my parent's grain shed. We baked everything from muffins and cake to crisps and pie. Then we'd make still more into jam or freeze it and enjoy it all year 'round. I happen to love the stuff. The tart stalks play perfectly…

Santa Fe Chicken Casserole

Santa Fe Chicken Casserole by Krista

Have you heard about the new Philadelphia Cooking Creme? It has definitely been on my radar lately. I've seen the commercials, I've heard about it from friends who tried it (and loved it), and as a former participant in the Real Women of Philadelphia cooking contest, I've seen the product popping up messages regarding this year's…

I prepared the filling a day in advance and toted it in a cooler to my in-laws house in Indiana where we were spending the weekend. I definitely recommend this make-ahead approach for speedy assembly on the day of a party.I began by grating a lime with my awesome Microplane Grater.Then I halved, seeded, and chopped a serrano pepper.…

Arroz con Pollo is a dish that is popular throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, but not necessarily in Mexico. So while this probably…

Luckily, my weekend visit to Indiana coincided with the monthly dinner club meeting. I posted HERE about dinner club last summer. A group of our college friends formed this club that meets for themed dinners in which each couple contributes a dish or two.

The Meal Plan and Grocery List 5/2- 5/8 by Krista

Between Pampered Chef parties (you can shop my personal website HERE), teaching evening cooking classes, writing a weekly food column for a local publication, my daughters' activities, and yard work I can barely find the time to type a post. So this week, I'm recycling…

Jalapeno Popper Cups

Jalapeno Popper Cups by Krista

I found this twist on the standard, deep-fried jalapeno popper on the Pillsbury website. These Jalapeno Popper Cups turned out to be a huge hit on the appetizer table at the Easter dinner that we attended. Guests snatched them all off of the plate within 20 minutes of our arrival at the party. Next time, I will double the…
