Who doesn't love pasta? This is a tasty way to eat it with ham and asparagus. I will try it with broccoli instead next time, just for a change. It is pretty good and if you can't find Harvati cheese, you can use mozzarella cheese instead. This comes together so fast and is great for a quick dinner. 3 c. uncooked bow-tie pasta (farfalle)1 (16 oz.) jar Alfredo pasta sauce10 medium asparagus spears, cut into 1 inch pieces1/2 c. sun-dried tomatoes in oil and herbs, drained & chopped1 c. … [Read more...]

These Raisin Filled Cookies are from my childhood. I loved them then, and I still do. Before I made these, I hadn't had them since I was little.

Raspberry Bars
These Raspberry Bars are super easy to make and even easier to become addicted to them. This is a great treat. It's crunchy on the bottom, chewy in the middle, and soft on top. It's a party in your mouth! It makes an 8x8 square pan, but you could double it to make a 9x13 size.

Mormon Muffins
Mormon Muffins are perfectly soft and fluffy. No boring bran muffins here! Serve them with honey butter and you're all set. Oh these are just from Heaven. You must eat them warm with honey butter. You must. They come from one of my favorite restaurants, The Greenery. That's where my favorite sandwich Fowl Play comes from, as well. Mormons settled in Utah way back in the day (1847) and that's where the name comes from. These are not your boring bran muffins. These are incredible and you … [Read more...]
