• Cookies and Cream Cookies with White Chocolate Chips

    Y’all, I am so excited to share these cookies with you today! Variations of these Cookies and Cream cookies were all over the internet last year, I saw them on at least 4 different blogs. I knew if that many people were talking about them and loving them that I needed to try them too!     You start with a basic cookie dough batter and sub cream cheese for some of the butter and instant milk powder for some of the flour. These changes make the cookies moist and rich. I’ll admit that I had some reservations about putting store-bought cookies, even though they were Oreos, inside my homemade…

  • Sam’s Dish 2016 Favorites

      One year ago, this week, I took a risk and started Sam’s Dish. In 2016 I shared 71 (wow) recipes with you. Lots of cooking, baking and eating happened in my little kitchen. It was a good first year! Last night I sat down with my hubby and we looked through all of the recipes on the blog. I lost count of the number of times that he said things like “that was really good” or “you haven’t made that in a long time” or “we ate good last year”. lol. So today I’m sharing our (mine and my husband’s) favorite recipes from 2016.     Here are our…

  • Shrimp and Broccoli with Cheese Tortellini

    Hope you had a great New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day! We have a horrible track record for NYE. One of us is usually sick and yep, it happened again this year. So being the party animals that we are, we stayed up until 10:30 pm, took cold medicine, and went to bed. We managed to get ourselves to church on Sunday, barely on time, but we made it. Then we rallied on Sunday afternoon and organized our main storage space, which included a trip to Target to get more plastic totes and an iced coffee…starting the year off right over here. Next on the list is organizing in the kitchen.…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas, y’all! I hope you all were able to spend time yesterday with family and friends on Christmas Day.     This year I had to slow down and remember that Christmas isn’t actually about the perfectly decorated trees and professional Christmas cards, or the gifts we give and parties we attend, or enjoying hot chocolate and baking dozens of cookies. Christmas is about remembering that the baby in the manger came to save the world.   It’s been a fun 1st year for Sam’s Dish and I’m so glad you are part of it! I’m taking the rest of the year off to spend time celebrating Christmas and just…
