It’s Friday night. You’re exhausted. You’ve made your contribution for a Bountiful Basket this week, but there is still a week-old (or two-week old, let’s be honest) head of broccoli (or bunch of asparagus, sack of potatoes, head of cauliflower, etc.) in the fridge staring you down, begging to be […]

Tasty Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins
I am a Pinterest junkie! Why am I telling you this? Well let me tell you, I did a little trading this last weekend after I went to volunteer at one of the local BBFC sites. (I just love volunteering for BBFC! You meet so many wonderful people!) Anyway, one […]
Colcannon
Have you ever eaten Colcannon? It is a wonderful creamy combination of mashed potatoes, shredded cabbage or kale, and oozing butter. It is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, but it is a warm and hearty dish for any day!
Baked Strawberry and Banana Oatmeal
This baked oatmeal was so delicious and warm on a cool, lazy Saturday morning. It is also healthy and used some bananas that were hoping downhill. My daughter had to ask me if this was dessert and demanded we have it again the next morning – high marks from my […]

Tater Tot Hot Dish ~ Jamie Style
Since we started contributing for baskets, I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have used frozen vegetables while cooking. There is no need anymore! I have this beautiful bounty on a weekly basis. I love the difference it is making for my family, I feel better […]
Banana Granola Bread
Banana Bread…..One of my granny’s favorites! She loved making it but I didn’t always see the value of a great piece of banana bread. Through the years, my views have broadened. It has a few things going for it. 1) It gives a little usefulness to those ripe bananas that […]
Not Yo ‘ Normal Nacho
Admit it you love a crunchy, salty, sweet, and spicy snack. Guess what? ME TOO!! And one of my all time faves is the fabulous NACHO. A crisp corn tortilla chip topped with all the sassy southwest flavors it can handle has been my answer to many a Saturday […]
Boxed Dinner Revolution- Asian Style
Boxed foods seem to have gotten a pretty bad rap lately. People complain that they are full of sodium, lacking on nutrients, void of color, and totally missing true flavors. Recently though, it seems my best meals have come from a box…a big brown Bountiful Baskets Super box to […]
