  • My mother-in-law and I like coleslaw.  The rest of the family won’t even touch slaw. This would be great for a summer barbecue.  However, you need to be aware that since there is mayo in the slaw, you should not leave it out for too long. “Chick Fil-A” Coleslaw adapted from Shugary Sweets Stars of…

  • Homemade White Bread

    I enjoy making homemade bread when I have a chance.  The smell of the fresh bread coming out of the oven is to die for.

  • It’s been a while since I’ve created a menu plan.  Our dinners have been suffering since I don’t have a specific menu plan for the week. One week I didn’t menu plan because we were suppose to use some of the food from our freezer before we went away on our Spring Break trip.  We…

  • Skillet Green Beans

    I’m all about easy veggie side dishes.  We usually microwave the veggies for about 4 minutes, add a little bit of butter and salt, and then microwave for another minute to melt the butter. That method gets old, though.  So I came up with an easy skillet green bean recipe using onions and bacon.  When…

  • Coffee Cake Muffins

    I’m always looking for new inspiration for recipes to put on my blog.  So I decided to join a food party called Food Extravaganza.  Each month, there is a theme based on a National Food Holiday during that month. Monthly April Holidays are Florida Tomato Month, BLT Sandwich Month, Soft Pretzel Month, Soy-foods Month, Grilled…

  • “Baked” Apples

    Hubby and I love the baked apples at Frisch’s Big Boy.  When we go to eat there, we usually will order the apples as one of our side dishes. I also like fried apples.  However I don’t usually have fried apples properly so this is an easy alternative. You need to use a good cooking apple…

  • Homemade “Dole Whips”

    One of my favorite treats at Walt Disney World is Dole Whip.  Actually it’s one of many favorite treats at Walt Disney World. I didn’t find the exact recipe for Dole Whip but I found one that was close enough to satisfy the craving for Dole Whip.  There is a place 20 minutes from my…

  • French Bread in a Bread Machine

    Okay the title of this blog is a little misleading.  You make the dough in the bread machine but then remove the dough to bake the bread. I was able to start the dough before we left for church and then make it into a loaf when we got home.  Easy peasy!

  • Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Eggs

    As I have said previously, there are a few items that I cannot cook to save my life.  Hard boiled eggs are one of those items. I’ve shared my technique for making them in the oven.  This is my technique for making the hard boiled eggs in my pressure cooker.
