Scotcheroos {no bake}
I feel like a failure at making Rice Krispies treats. I know. These are probably the first recipe that many people ever made on their own as kids, and I, who supposedly know something about baking, struggle with them. It seems like they are always just so sticky. I can’t seem to get the krispies to mix in well, and then when I pour them out of the pot, it seems like half of the good stuff is still stuck inside. I’ve tried them in the microwave and on the stovetop, and they are o.k. but not worth the frustration.

Healthy-ish Homemade Potato Chips
Cheesy ones, spicy ones, plain ones, rippled ones, oniony ones, dipped ones, corny ones, baked ones, fried ones… Chips are one of my biggest food weaknesses. I love the crunch, and I love the salt. I am ashamed to admit that eating a whole bag in one or two sittings is not out of the question for me. And I don’t mean the single-serving bag either. Potatoes are vegetables, right? Health gurus always say we need more vegetables in our diets…

Classic Deviled Eggs
Are you drowning in Easter eggs? If you know your family isn’t going to be able to eat all those hard cooked eggs, you may want to turn some of them into deviled eggs or an egg salad. My kids LOVE eggs. Between the baking I do and the ones we eat, I can hardly keep them in the house. I buy the five dozen mega pack about every other week. Sometimes more.

Creamy Sausage and Tomato Pasta
This creamy sausage pasta has truly become a favorite over the last few months. It has few ingredients, but it is surprisingly flavorful and surprisingly quick and easy to put together. I just came across this recipe in the last two months, but I have already made it several times for company and several times for our family. So far it has gotten rave reviews all around. It is easy enough for a weeknight meal but nice enough for company or for a special meal. We just had this Saturday night for one of our Easter gatherings along with some salad and homemade French bread.
