  • Mexican Short Ribs

    Mexican Short Ribs – These are so tender and flavorful! I served these last night with corn on the cob fresh from the garden, and some steamed broccoli. It would be equally good as the anchor for a Mexican supper including spanish rice, refried beans and tortillas. It’s quick to put together, and smells great cooking…

  • Barbecued Chicken Pizza

    Dani developed this great Barbecued Chicken Pizza recipe a few years ago. Tangy, hearty and loaded with grilled chicken, bacon, green onions and cheese all on a homemade crust slathered with Barbecue Sauce. It tastes and smells amazing! Served with a tossed green salad, it makes for a complete and very kid-friendly meal. I hope it…

  • Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies

    I love this cookie recipe. Not only are these cookies tender and sweet, but the recipe card is written in my late mother’s own hand. The recipe is one she was given by one of her best friends. These cookies really do melt in your mouth.  They would be lovely to serve at a tea, or…

  • Copper’s Caramel Corn

    Caramel Corn is a great 4th of July treat!  We’re taking a BIG bowlful with us to the park later on.  My husband loves caramel corn, and this recipe in particular.  He has probably made it up for the family more times than I have. There are some simpler recipes around, but I don’t want…

  • Scalloped Potatoes – Just Like My Mom Made ‘Em

    I make my Scalloped Potatoes just like my mom did. No real recipe, of course. However, they are quick and easy and just as good for a company dinner as they are for an everyday family meal. The number of servings is easily adjusted, you’ll just need to use a big enough pan for all the potatoes you…

  • Mom’s Banana Split Cake (Copper’s Favorite!)

    The notation in my mom’s handwriting at the top of this recipe indicates that it is Copper’s favorite.  A rich, creamy filling, on a graham cracker crust, layered with pineapple and bananas, covered with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on top make this one of our all-time favorites. It’s especially good in the summer.…

  • Chicken and Dressing Casserole

    This is a family favorite in my home. Okay, we have a LOT of family favorites, but that’s okay. I like it when I find dishes that everyone likes. Starting with tender, cooked chicken breasts, adding a creamy sour cream sauce, and then topped with a prepared, seasoned stuffing, this makes a wonderful, tasty main dish.…

  • Cheryl’s Mediterranean Meat Pie

    I was planning out our menu for last week when I received an e-mail from my friend, Kendra, asking for this recipe.  It sounded good and we had all of the necessary ingredients on hand, so I added it to the menu!  Unfortunately, we’ve had a couple of evenings away from home due to Grandma’s…

  • Blueberry Coffee Cake

    This is a really quick to make coffeecake and it’s one of my husband’s favorites!  The batter is mixed quickly by hand in a bowl, and is very similar to muffin batter.  This is a delightfully moist coffeecake, filled with blueberries, topped with toasted coconut, and it’s absolutely delicious. We are able to enjoy our own…
