When I was growing up, this was always called Tinfoil Delight in our home. I have no idea where that name came from and I don’t really see it in use for this recipe online. In Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, it is generally called a hobo dinner because it’s cooked in foil over an …

This is an Instant Pot macaroni and cheese recipe I found online and adapted to our needs. I have not personally tasted this because the only ingredient in it I can eat is the salt. LOL! However, Caroline asks for this at least once a week and often twice. David makes it for them and …

My parents bought me a Cuisinart Food Processor for Christmas a few years ago. The main reason I asked for the food processor was to try the pizza dough recipe in Amy Dacyczyn’s The Complete Tightwad Gazette. We like pizza and I wanted to find a good and quick dough recipe. I love it! The …

This is a recipe I’ve adjusted and adapted. I made it this week with the thought I could freeze some of the leftovers for another meal for David and Caroline. After eating it multiple meals in a row (by her own choice), Caroline asked me to make it again. LOL! I told her she’d have …

I made this a couple of times and after reading some other versions and comments online, made some tweaks to make it my own. This is the best version by far! My changes were more maple syrup, less eggs, more blueberries, and adding vanilla …

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 midwest sausage stuffing 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 …

These ham and cheesy potatoes are 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 …

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 …
