I have always loved to cook, but quite recently realized it has become a passion of mine. I enjoy creating meals that are healthy and easy, and sharing them with others.

Some of the recipe's in this book have been in my family for years, and have always been a staple in our household. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

This book is dedicated to my Nana, Margaret Lycoff.. I can still smell your roasts cooking in the oven ... xoxo

Cookbook Recipe
Butternut Squash Soup
When I think of Fall I think of Butternut Squash Soup. I kick it up a notch by adding extra thyme and fresh rosemary. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Cookbook Recipe
Alisa's Chicken Enchilada Soup
There is nothing like a great bowl of soup on a cold day! This is one I created and enjoy when the weather starts to get cooler.

Cookbook Recipe
Alisa's Chicken and Vegetable Soup
This is a spin off of my Nana's Chicken Soup. Instead of using barley or noodles I use sweet potatoes and canned tomatoes which gives it a different flavor. It's definitely more vegetable based. If you are a vegetarian you can cook the vegetables in water by themselves and omit the chicken. Also if you have fresh herbs and not dried herbs available, those work perfect!

Cookbook Recipe
Chicken and Dumpling Soup
This is just good old fashioned chicken and dumpling soup. In the winter we like hardy food, and this definitely hits the spot. I try and use organic ingredients and fresh herbs and I think that makes a difference in the way it tastes.

Cookbook Recipe
Chicken Pot Pie
Most people who know me, know that I love to cook and entertain. I also love making made from scratch meals as often as I can. This is one where left overs have dibs on them!

Cookbook Recipe
Alisa's Apple Cobbler
I love using in season fruits and vegetables. This recipe is using Apples; however you can use any type of fruit such as blueberry's, peaches, raspberries or blackberries.

Cookbook Recipe
Hardy Beef Stew
My Nana was one of the best cooks around. As soon as we approached her house we could smell the roast, stew or soup emanating from the stove or oven. This one would have hopefully made her proud!

Cookbook Recipe
Nanas Blind Pigeons-Lithuanian Stuffed Cabbage
My Nana was Lithuanian and along with Pierogis, Blinis and Bonduki's this was a staple in the Lycoff household...

Cookbook Recipe
Sauteed Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
My all time favorite side dish!

Cookbook Recipe
Shrimp, Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta
When I decided this past January to go vegetarian I had to come up with different meals that my family would enjoy. Since we love seafood this is one that you can whip up relatively quickly, using in season vegetables...

Cookbook Recipe
Sweet Potato Pancakes with Avocado Dipping Sauce
I saw a version of this in a magazine years and years ago and decided to put my own twist on it... I enjoy these and can eat them as a meal. Nothing else is needed!

Cookbook Recipe
Breakfast Frittata
I love eggs on a Sunday morning, especially any type of omelet or quiche with lots of veggies. Frittatas are great because they are high protein and low carb, and are especially good if you are gluten intolerant.

Cookbook Recipe
Curried Vegetables with Coconut Lime Rice
I am a big fan of Indian Food and Spices. I believe there is a holistic approach to health by how and what we eat. Turmeric is a key spice in this dish. Not only does it have a ton of medicinal properties, it is also believed to be one of the most powerful herbs on the planet for fighting and reversing disease. I say use more Turmeric! With this dish you can use any type of vegetables: cauliflower, potatoes, string beans, peas, you name it. You can also add chicken or shrimp for added protein.

Cookbook Recipe
Leli's Spaghetti Squash Soup with Goat Cheese and Basil
We have a local organic restaurant in the area called Leli's. All of their food is organic and made in house. One night one of their specials was this soup; I loved it so much I had to go home and re-create it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

Cookbook Recipe
Farmer's Market Pesto Sandwich
When summer rolls around we always want to know what to do with in season veggies. This is the perfect solution! Do not feel like you have to make the pesto from scratch. Especially if you are pressed for time. Stores such as Trader Joe's and Costco offer pre made pesto with the same ingredients.

Cookbook Recipe
Mussels in Tomato Sauce with Fresh Basil
Mussels have to be one of the most inexpensive types of seafood to make, and the easiest. Barring no one is allergic to shellfish, you can feed a lot of people with this recipe and still feel satiated. Pair with a nice red bottle of wine, and Italian bread, and it's the perfect meal!

Cookbook Recipe
Alisa's Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese
This is a favorite amongst my running group. A lot of us are vegetarian or gluten free, and so this one is always requested at pot lucks.

Cookbook Recipe
Saute'd Vegetables and Fettucine
When I became a Pescatarian in January I needed to come up with meals that were healthy and that the family would enjoy. This is SO easy. You will find that a lot of my meals include garlic. I totally believe that garlic has a lot of healing powers and proven health benefits. You will also find that I use a lot of the same vegetables in my meals. Sautéing vegetables takes all of 7 minutes. You will find that it is easy to add them to pasta, quinoa, salad, or just eat them plain. Either way you can't go wrong. For a Vegan meal substitute or omit the cheese.

Cookbook Recipe
Healthy Collard Greens
When you grow up in the South, Collards are a Southern staple. I didn't like them growing up, but as an adult I appreciate their unique flavor and have grown to love them. You can add bacon to this recipe and use the drippings for extra flavor, or keep it light and omit the bacon.

Cookbook Recipe
Nana's Lithuanian Salad
This was a favorite when I was younger. Not only is it easy, its tasty and is a great accompaniment to any meal or gathering.

Cookbook Recipe
Marintated Pork Tenderloin
This is perfect for grilling! A main dish for a barbecue or get together!

Cookbook Recipe
Roasted Corn and Tomatoes

Cookbook Recipe
Coconut Curried Shrimp and Vegetables
Someone asked me, 'where do I come up with recipe's?" I love going to new restaurants and trying to figure out which spices and ingredients they use. I went to a local Thai restaurant a few weeks ago and wanted to see if I could duplicate their dish. I did!

Cookbook Recipe
Potatoes with Poached Eggs
I love breakfast, especially on Sunday mornings. This is a great breakfast to make when you have company because, who doesn't love potatoes and eggs?

Cookbook Recipe
Eli's Egg Rolls
We love egg rolls. Plain and simple. I knew they couldn't be that hard to make so I thought I would give it a go. It worked, and now they are on Eli's request list.

Cookbook Recipe
No Carb Shrimp Scampi
For anyone on a low carb or no carb diet this is a great dish that goes a long way!

Cookbook Recipe
Kiwi, Apple, Strawberry and Pineapple Salsa

Cookbook Recipe
Vegeterian Chili
There is nothing better than a nice bowl of Chili on a Cool Fall or Winter's night. I hope you find this version is just as hearty using only vegetables.

Cookbook Recipe
Easy Pad Thai
Pad Thai is one of my favorites and it is also very easy to make! The key is having all of the ingredients...

Cookbook Recipe
Shrimp, Spinach and Artichoke Pasta
This recipe is not terribly low fat, but is fine in moderation.

Cookbook Recipe
My Favorite Bolognese
I think Bolognese is one of my absolute favorite dishes to make. It pairs well with a big glass of red wine, and is perfect to make when you have company. Also a lot of people ask me why I add small amounts of sugar to my tomato based sauces. It is because my grandmother was Sicilian and she used to use honey. It helps prevent the tomato sauce from becoming too acidic. So you can add honey, brown sugar or a sugar substitute if you are on a low sugar or no sugar diet.

Cookbook Recipe
Zucchini Fritters
In the Summertime our garden produces an abundance of zucchini. Even giving it away we have way more than we can use, so I decided to put it to good use and make some fritters. They are always a hit!

I have always loved to cook, but quite recently realized it has become a passion of mine. I enjoy creating meals that are healthy and easy, and sharing them with others. Some of the recipe's in this book have been in my family for years, and have always been a staple in our household. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Thank you for your interest in SparkleGirl03's cookbook and for helping support the BakeSpace community of independent cookbook authors!

Here’s some quick information regarding how our cookbook platform works, along with a few tips for making the most of cookbooks you add to your library.

What is the Cookbook Café Platform?

Cookbook Café is our one-of-a-kind cookbook publisher, marketplace and reader. It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.

How do I "download" a cookbook?

You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.

When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.

While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.

Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!

Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.
