This icebox cake is perfect for a hot summer day. Cheesecake pudding mix and milk are whisked together and set aside to thicken before folding in whipped topping. Then graham crackers are placed on the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Next half of the pudding mixture is spread on top of the crackers. Sliced strawberries are added on top. The layers are repeated, finishing with one more layer of graham crackers. A can of strawberry frosting is melted and poured on top. Then the cake is covered and refrigerated several hours before serving.

Slow Cooker Eye of Round Roast
This delicious slow cooker recipe is easy to make but fancy enough for a Sunday dinner. Paprika, oregano, onion & garlic powders, salt and pepper are mixed together. Then the spices are rubbed on the beef roast before placing the roast in the slow cooker. Next potatoes, carrots, celery and onions are placed around the roast. Beef broth and a packet of gravy mix are whisked together and poured on top of the vegetables and beef. The roast cooks for several hours. Then the liquid from the slow cooker is cooked in a sauce pan until thick and served with the roast and vegetables.
This one pot pasta recipe can be a side dish or main dish. Olive oil and garlic cook in a skillet until fragrant. Then uncooked pasta is added and stirred until coated. Chicken broth is added until the pasta is covered. Cook while stirring until most of the broth is absorbed. Next add Parmesan cheese, heavy cream and butter. The pasta is stirred until the cheese is melted, then salt and pepper are added before serving.
A quote, a comic and a plan
“I’m going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember—it’s always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you’re on your own.” – James Beard
Sometimes, you have to try a recipe to realize how to change it to your liking. I change a lot of what I cook, I look at the original recipe for inspiration, then tweak things from there. Sometimes it’s a small changes, sometimes it’s a drastic change. But I’m always willing to try a new recipe and I hope you will too!
