My mom made these for us a few times and I finally asked for the recipe so I could make them at home. They are very easy and good for days that need something simple but tasty! I buy the tortillas that are low carb and have lots of fiber to make these a healthier […]

One of the drawbacks to being a family of two is that so many desserts make way too much for just David and me to eat them. I especially feel that way about cookies. While I can freeze all the extras, I usually get tired of them before they are gone. I was glad to […]

I found this recipe in the Spring 2006 Food & Family magazine that Kraft sends me. I don’t usually find recipes in their publication because they require too many prepackaged, processed foods. However, this one sounded good and it is! It is also very quick to put together. We’ve had it a few times already. […]

We’ve been enjoying this slow cooker beef stew and I thought I should share the recipe. It is so easy and smells great while it is cooking. With all of the spices there is no need for any kind of added broth. Just water works great! This is the recipe my mom made when I […]

My mom started making this many years ago when I was a child and it is one of the three things I still look forward to at Thanksgiving. (The other two are pumpkin pie with real whipped cream and pecan pie.) For a couple of years my mom made some other stuffing recipes and it […]

This is Comfort Food with a capital C and a capital F. There aren’t too many things I could sit and eat and eat and eat, but this is one of them. I got this recipe from a woman I taught with several years ago. It is without a doubt one of our top five […]

I found this recipe on a chicken package and it is now one of our very favorite things to eat. And I mean favorite as in choose this above anything out of any category of food. I use this rub on a whole roasting chicken and cook it in the oven. The best part about […]

I found this recipe in a Gooseberry Patch book and tried it this week for the first time. It is very good and very rich. The next time I serve it, I will only serve it as a side with something else less rich and less salty rather than making it the main item of […]

My mom made this Garlic Shrimp Pasta during our most recent visit. I’m not a big fan of dill in foods like this, but garlic was by far the predominant flavor so I didn’t mind the dill at all. One word – delicious! This serves two, but we successfully doubled it. Garlic Shrimp Pasta Ingredients […]
