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 he can now make it with no recipe he's done it so many …

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 recipe is basic and easy. I top it with our family …

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 to wait until next week. Caroline likes it so much David is lucky …

This Blueberry and Cream Cheese Strata Casserole is my personal adaptation. 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 and salt. There are versions …

This easy stromboli will definitely be a regular in our home now. It was easy and very tasty. I found it in Meals in Minutes (Gooseberry Patch). I made two - one with pepperoni and the other with pepperoni and green olives. You could put anything in them you would like. The next time I will try one with Italian sausage. You can serve them with …

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 was growing up. I omit the celery since I'm not a fan, but I included it in the …

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 of our top five meals. I have tweaked this recipe quite a bit. The original recipe …

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 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/3 cup butter 3/4 …

I found this recipe in a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook called Comfort Food. This is my modified version of corn chowder with ham and red peppers. Corn Chowder with Ham and …

This Cheddar Oven Omelet is a simple and yummy brunch recipe. I've made it so many times for guests at brunch and it's always a hit. You can pop it in the oven and get things in the kitchen cleaned up before your guests arrive. This is also a great recipe because it consists of ingredients you are likely to have on hand - eggs, bacon, milk, …
