I love to use cream soups. I know many people my age have memories of their moms cooking pork chops in cream of mushroom soup or bringing a hot-out-of-the-oven casserole to the table.

Hollandaise Sauce
I can honestly tell you that I was intimidated to make hollandaise sauce for the first time. For some reason I got it in my head that it would be difficult. I thought the eggs would scramble and I would have a big bowl of mess but it is so easy. I have only once…

Homemade Wonton Wrappers
I LOVE egg rolls. My very first job was working at a little Chinese food restaurant a short walk from my house. They made the best egg rolls I have ever had in my life. They also made an incredible lemon sauce for lemon chicken that I would cover everything from chicken balls to chow…
