Rosemary Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Wine Sauce

Posted by Kathy on March 3, 2015

What’s for dinner at your house? Not every meal at my house is gourmet, or taste like it took hours to prepare. Let’s be real. Sometimes it has to be quick and easy. What a celebration when those two opposing ideas meet!

Roxanne and I have been especially busy lately. We leave for Chicago to work the International Home and Housewares Show this week. In addition, in the last 2 or 3 weeks, we appeared on KSHB TV Kansas City Live (follow the link and you can get the recipe for Chipotle Chicken Tacos from our new book,) did a newspaper interview and made a video of our cake mixes and taught 3 different cooking classes. We are grateful to have these opportunities to share more about our new book, The Newlywed Cookbook and our slow cooker cake mixes, and it is very exciting, but sometimes, dinner at home takes a back seat to what is going on. Do you ever feel that way? [Read more…]

Posted by Kathy on February 16, 2015

Even in the dead of winter, I long for a salad. Yet, all of those tender spring greens seem like a hazy dream.

This is the time of year when I make wedge salads for my wonderful hubby. He loves them (and truth be told, so do I.) [Read more…]

My family has a current guilty food passion right now. It really is ooey, gooey good so throw caution aside and dig in.

I love to buy and read cookbooks. I never have enough. Some books quickly become favorites, but Carmine’s Family Style Cookbook is one I will never forget. [Read more…]

Hot Corn Dip Recipe

Posted by Kathy on January 20, 2015

January is a great time to snuggle in. Build a fire, turn on the television, work on a puzzle or play a game and just enjoy family time.

Then, suddenly cabin fever hits and it seems it would be fun to plan a game night, movie night or watch a football game and invite some friends. (Yes, that super big football game will be here in a couple weeks and you have to plan something to serve while watching the game or critiquing the commercials.) [Read more…]

Bean and Bacon Soup

Posted by Kathy on January 6, 2015

It’s cold. Really cold. The holiday rush is over, the decorations are stored away and I want to cocoon. When cold winds howl, who doesn’t want to stay in and keep warm? On some nights, for me, that means cooking from what I have on hand and not running to the grocery store. Do you ever feel that way?

Even though its super cold, I am excited about the New Year, for our new book, The Newlywed Cookbook, Cooking Happily Ever After is now on store shelves. (Roxanne announced it and popped the Champagne last week!) We are thrilled and are looking forward to cooking recipes from the book, teaching classes and sharing tips that help newlywed couples start a lifetime of great cooking. What to register for and how to use those items, plus recipes for quick dinners to special dishes that create wonderful meals together and build lifelong memories.
