Fully Loaded Vegetable Soup

July 9, 2015July 9, 2015 Chef Ria

One would think soup would be safe to eat, free from tomatoes. However, tomato based stock is… Continue reading Fully Loaded Vegetable Soup

Sweet Potato Hummus

October 18, 2013January 2, 2015 Chef Ria

Fall means only one thing around my house, Football. While I may love the changing of the leaves, the mosquitoes going away or my sexy fall boots. My Mister doesn't care for any of that.

Chocolate Coated Kisses Cheesecake

December 6, 2011January 2, 2015 Chef Ria

There is nothing healthy about this cheesecake. 🙂 Which is why when I make it, I make sure it is for a potluck. Everyone would have eaten it before I have a chance to go back for seconds. Ingredients: 2 cups finely crushed shortbread cookies (about 37 cookies) 4 tbsp butter 32 oz cream cheese… Continue reading Chocolate Coated Kisses Cheesecake
