About Dawn~

I am an Instructional Facilitator (instructional coach) and am located in Topeka, KS. Since I love the visuals on Pinterest, so I thought I'd create my own food wiki, as I make delicious goodies, to share with you. The plan is to provide you with only my favorite recipes.

I have created a variety of pages (see Rt sidebar). They include salads, vegetarian dishes, juicing recipes, meat, soups, bread with more categories to come. Just navigate to the sidebar and click on the name of the page wanted. As I work though the recipes, I plan to provide Weight Watcher Points Plus values to the WWMeals website (you'll see it in the sidebar too) ~ for the weight conscience mind.

Come back and visit soon for more food excursions!

FEATURED RECIPES

Libby’s Cream Cheese & Chicken Dip Buffalo chicken 

2-3 Chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)  - I used 2 cans of drained chicken breast

1/2 bottle of franks Buffalo sauce (or more to taste) - I used sweet baby rays

3T of ranch (to taste)

2 softened blocks of cream cheese

1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar 

Mix together the chicken, Buffalo sauce and ranch. I usually end up adding more Buffalo sauce and then a bit more ranch to get to the flavor I want. Then mix in the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of cheese. Place in a baking dish or crockpot and top with sharp cheddar cheese. Cook until cheese is melted.

Tomato Bisque 

 - Made for me by my wonderful husband, on Valentines Day. It was so delicious, and served in a Panera Bread bowl.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat remaining olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
