My Husband grew up in a family that butchered every winter. This family tradition is still going strong with the 4th generation helping. We no longer kill the hogs on site but a butcher shop does it for us. They are then cut in halves which makes it much easier for us to work with. After the hogs are picked up and that is when the fun begins.
Focaccia is an easy to make flatbread bread that pairs wonderfully with a steaming hot bowl of soup or pasta. Sourdough Focaccia is the best because it has a soft chewy crumb that is hard to beat.
If you are on the line about sourdough, this recipe is one of the easiest to try. The toppings and spices can be varied to suit your taste. Just be sure to limit the oil to less than a teaspoon per serving to stay in an E setting.
Cheesecake Mousse is an easy way to serve an elegant dessert. You can’t go wrong when you combine chocolate and coffee together. This light fluffy dessert will be a wonderful addition to any meal.
These damp winter days have me dreaming of Spring time and getting the grills ready for cookouts. Salmon is one of my favorites to grill. Serve it with roasted asparagus and a garden salad for great light dinner.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you need a special dessert for your family, I have just the one for you! This Strawberry Cake is such a delicious treat that is not only a feast for the tastebuds but also for the eyes.
Everyone loves a good moist chocolate cake. This chocolate cake is a great way to use up extra sourdough starter that you may have on hand. Sourdough starter give the cake a lovely texture and just a bit of tang.

Here is a round-up of my favorite party foods. You will find anything from Wings, Taco Dip, Trail Mix, Candy, Cheesecakes, and more. I hope these will become your favorites, too.
A party would not be complete without wings! These Cajun Wings can be quickly made in an air fryer. I love my Ninja Foodie! It makes the best wings and the grease and splatters are all contained inside the unit. Yay!
Taco Dip is always on the list of foods to make. Many dips include cream cheese, sour cream and other heavy fats. This Touchdown Taco dip is made with beans and low-fat items that are great with baked corn chips, rye rounds, and veggies as dippers. I dry thin slices of Rye Sourdough Bread to use as dippers.
Fellowship and good times with family and friends often center around food. Many times we need a quick, easy dish to take along to various events. Here is my favorite pasta salad that uses bottled dressing and feeds a crowd. This has been a family favorite for years.
