Monday, June 6, 2016. Healthy Carrot Muffins with Raisins and Walnuts. Can I just tell you that my five year old loved these muffins so much that she ate 2 of them today?

The texture was amazing - soft with juicy raisins and crunchy walnuts. The sweetness came from the carrots and maple syru...2 cup...

Mary Ellen's Cooking Creations: Creamy Tomato-Garlic Pasta with Chicken and Bacon
http://www.maryellenscookingcreations.com/2016/09/creamy-garlic-pasta-with-chicken-and.html
Monday, September 19, 2016. Creamy Tomato-Garlic Pasta with Chicken and Bacon. Sometimes when I'm creating a new recipe I sit with a pen and paper and really think about what I'm going to do. I write it out a few times, add, delete, change, and then test it. I'll tweak a bit and then write a final recipe. I have such a weakness for creamy pasta dishes, but I try not to make them too often. So when I do, I might as well go all out, right? Bacon AND creamy, cheesy pasta? 6 slices of bacon. 1 tsp olive oil.
