Here is our version of Rice Krispy Squares. We love these things. Super simple. Super easy. Super-duper yummy! This was something else I made a good bit when I was kid. They don’t take long, don’t require baking and you soon have a sweet, crunchy treat! It’s also really yummy to throw in some M&M’s. […]
Party Cheeseball
I remember my Mother fixing this cheeseball when I was growing up. I always loved it. When I was a kid, I didn’t care for the dried beef/corned beef version of cheeseball and it seemed like it was popular and if cheeseball was on the menu, it was the one! My Mother would make both […]
Chicken Crescents
Today it’s Chicken Crescents here on my blog! I get hungry for these every so often! I was thumbing through some favorite recipes to put together a menu for a supper with friends. When I landed on Chicken Crescents, Chicken Crescents it was! I made a favorite rice recipe to go with them. That recipe […]
Chai Tea
We were at a friend’s house not so long ago. In the afternoon she mixed up and heated up and served us some delicious Chai Tea. I seriously doubt that if I was flipping through recipes that I would’ve landed on this recipe and decided to try it just from reading it. I love finding […]
Mac and Cheese Casserole
How about some more comfort food? Cold weather, casseroles and cozy kitchen with the oven on! When I want something fairly quick to fix {who am I kidding? Isn’t that always what I’m after?} and something we all like, if I think about it, I will make this Mac and Cheese Casserole. It is my […]
Tater Tot Casserole
Comfort food. Food you grow up with. There are some foods that fit in both categories. When I was a kid, my mom fixed tater-tot casserole and my sister and I loved it. Still do. Now, my daughter does. She didn’t used to, but she like a lot more foods as she’s getting older. This […]
Sweet Potato Casserole
I made sweet potato casserole and took to my aunt’s for Thanksgiving dinner this year. I’m the only one in our little family that likes sweet potato casserole. Or sweet potatoes in general. I don’t eat them a lot, but I do like sweet potato casserole. It goes well with Thanksgiving dinner and with Christmas […]
Pumpkin Cake
I like sheet cakes and this Pumpkin Cake is another of our family favorites. It is simple, yummy and moist. I like sheet cakes because they make a good bit and don’t take a lot of time to make! Along with apple dumplings and apple crisp and pumpkin pie, I find myself thinking about this […]
Apple Dumplings
We used to get together with an aunt and uncle and cousins almost every fall and make apple dumplings. My mother would peel apples and my aunt would make the pastry and wrap the apples. We cousins would hoot and holler and play, and wait to devour apple dumplings. It seems like memories can be […]
Autumn Crunch Snack Mix
Snack Mix. It just makes you think yummy. When we’re on the go a lot or having family visit or it’s cold and snowy…any of these times are times when I like having a snack mix on hand. Not that it always happens, but it’s nice when it does. Quick, tasty snacks just seem homey, […]
Green-Bean Corn Casserole
When the air has a chill to it and you want some heat in the house, my mind turns to oven recipes and the warmth and good smells of kitchen and food and cooking and baking. This veggie casserole falls into comfort food category. Yummy, creamy, buttery cracker crumb topping… PrintGreen-Bean Corn Casserole Ingredients4 cups […]
Pumpkin Pie
It’s that time of year! Pumpkins and apples and cute little gourds and squash and Indian corn and tiny pumpkins. And the crisp air always makes me start pulling out soup recipes and thinking about apple crisp and pumpkin pie! We had cheddar chowder this week and taco soup last week. They are pretty much […]
Tasty Taco Soup
When the weather starts cooling off, I start thinking about soup and cornbread and muffins. And apple recipes and pumpkin recipes and fresh bread and cider……… And since my sister-in-law shared her abundance of tomatoes from her garden with me, I am happy to have home canned tomato juice in my pantry once again. I […]
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Do you like miniature food? Yeah, that sounds kind of funny, really!! But, I think bite size appetizers, and cheese cubes and mini muffins and things along this order are fun to eat! Plus, a lot of times they look really pretty or you can display them in an appetizing way. This muffin recipe is […]
Refrigerator Mashed Potato Casserole
We’ve been having lots of potatoes out of the garden and I’ve made a couple recipes of this mashed potato casserole and put in the freezer. So, this is a good time to post this recipe to my growing record of my favorites here on my blog! This recipe is a good way to use […]
Chocolate Frosty Homemade Ice Cream
Mmmmmmmmmmm, there’s something about a bowlful of soft, homemade ice cream! When we were first married my young husband enjoyed cranking a freezer full of ice cream and we usually made ice cream several times in the summer. Seems like we don’t make it as often now. I think it’s not as enjoyable or relaxing […]
