Oatmeal Toffee Cookies
Oatmeal Toffee Cookies are a twist on the classic oatmeal cookie made with chunks of toffee bits and chopped walnuts.

Being that was usually one of the few times we got to see them during the year (besides Christmas for some ... Read More about Chicken in a Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
Bacon and Havarti Quiche
Quiche, like this one made with farm fresh eggs, bacon and Havarti cheese is so versatile and perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I know what you're thinking and you're right. I don't usually eat bacon because it gives me a headache, but the rest of my family does. And on Sunday's, we generally make what we call a "big breakfast"; which includes eggs, potatoes, bacon or sausage. We only eat this way once a week and sometimes only 1-2 times per month. It's usually more of a ... Read More about Bacon and Havarti Quiche
