Individual Beef Wellington

Individual Beef Wellington

If you are looking for dinner ideas for Valentine's Day, look no further. These Individual Beef Wellington are so special and so good, you will be making them over and over again due to popular demand. My family expects them every Christmas Eve as well. I once heard about a chicken soup recipe that is supposed to guarantee a girl a marriage proposal. Nonsense. No soup will do that... but these mini beef wellingtons will! Yes, they are that spectacular.

Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies


A few days ago I was really in the mood for dessert, but being January and still on my best behavior as far as eating healthier foods, I set out to create a virtuous cookie. These Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and have that warm browned butter flavor and nuttiness going on that makes a freshly baked oatmeal cookie so irresistible. My husband ate so many he lost count and my daughter grabbed one and yelled "these cookies are amazing"! The batch was gone before I could reach for my second cookie.

The Best Butter Cookie Recipe!

The Best Butter Cookie Recipe!

It's not until I pull out my favorite cookbook, Christmas From the Heart of the Home by Susan Branch and open it to what I promise you is the best butter cookie recipe ever, that I feel excited for the holidays. Its bright red cover, adorable Christmas illustrations, personal reflections and irresistible recipes always makes me smile, and as corny as it sounds brings warmth to my heart. Every traditional Christmas recipe you can think of is here...spiced cider, egg nog, Christmas pudding and the best of all, Annie Hall's Butter Cookies.
