Chili Cheese Tots Recipe
A four-ingredient family-friendly main dish. Our kids used to make their own lunches on summer days and this was a neighborhood favorite for kids old enough to use an oven or toaster oven.

Frozen Fruit Cups Recipe
I had forgotten how delicious these fruit cups were until recently, when the grandkids were over and helped me make a big batch. My version has no added sugar for an easy snack from the freezer when little ones drop by your house. For adults, they’re tasty “ice cubes” in a glass of wine for a quick sangria on a Friday afternoon! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…
Healthy Apple Cinnamon Chip Scones
Because anyone who publicly brags about scone baking should be able to produce tender morsels of delicious carbohydrates. Jam optional.
Cherry Chocolate Jammy Scones
Messy, but delicious combination of two family favorites. My go-to healthy base scone has everything you need in one bite: tart cherries, chocolate chips, and a few chopped pecans for crunch. The middle layer borrows from an old Jammy Scones recipe, a kid-friendly version for children learning how to bake.
Boozy Irish Chocolate Cake
With Guinness in the cake, Jameson’s in the ganache, and Irish Creme in the frosting, this is a must try for St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you want a moist, flavorful cake with a kick.

Cassandra Sato’s new dog, Murphy, makes his first internet appearance! And my Grandma Ruth’s Apple Pie and Oil Pastry recipe. Shhh. . . don’t tell my aunts. I don’t want to get into trouble for spilling family secrets.

Scones are back!
This week I made my first batch of scones in about two years! They were so delicious, I thought you might like to try them too.
Chocolate Haupia Pie
If you travel to Hawai’i, you’ll see a version of Haupia on any menu, whether at home or in popular restaurants. Lots of people make this pie with a plain coconut layer and a chocolate layer, but I just mix it all together to make one chocolate creamy pie.
