  • Pickled Beet Eggs

    One of my favorite ways to eat eggs is pickled beet eggs.  Yum! They need to sit in the brine for enough time.  If they don’t, I won’t eat them.  My grandma B. used to just pass the hard boiled eggs in the brine and then pass them off as pickled beet eggs.  Yuck!

  • A Week of Family Favorites

    Three weeks ago, I shared a week of slow cooker meals.  Today I’m going to share a week of family favorites. My family really enjoys 2 of the recipes.  Brown sugar ham causes the boys to run to the kitchen when it’s on the menu.  They really love that dish.  Since it’s close to Easter,…

  • I have a confession.  No matter what, I cannot make hard boiled eggs the conventional way.  The eggs’ yolks don’t fully cook. I have an egg cooker that I use at times.  However, I didn’t want to use the egg cooker when I was cooking up the eggs my sons were going to dye using Kool…

  • Aunt Missy’s Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

    A few years ago, my aunt sent me a little stand up photo album with family favorite recipes.  When I was menu planning this week, I decided to check out those recipes.  I ended up choosing to make her chicken Parmesan.  It’s a one skillet recipe and done in less than 30 minutes.  Score! I…

  • Mom, What’s For Dinner? – Week of February 29, 2016

    Can you believe it’s already March? Okay, technically, tomorrow is March, but it’s close enough. Last week, I spoke about how I didn’t know how my meal planning would go since I had been sick and had to go to the doctor. Well, Monday’s dinner burnt, so I made something else. Tuesday’s dinner went as…

  • Baked Pancake

    Sometimes we want pancakes, but I don’t feel like flipping the pancakes.  I like this alternative so does my family.  You can add different toppings to the batter.  We topped half of the pancake batter with chocolate chips.  The other half we left plain. The Imaginative One said the only real difference between baked and…

  • Lawnmower Tacos

    The Wee One loves tacos so when I saw this recipe, I decided we needed to try this recipe.  Hubby loved it which is a great thing because he typically only likes Fritos and I used tortilla chips. It’s called lawnmower tacos because it basically looks like a lawnmower ran over the meal.  It might…

  • Fruity Chicken Salad

    I’ve had this recipe in my files but haven’t shared it with you.  If you make the crockpot chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken, you can use the leftover chicken to make this delicious chicken salad. When I made this chicken salad, I shared some with my mother-in-law.  She also loved this chicken salad.  She…

  • As I said yesterday, Grandma would have turned 88 if she was still alive.  I lived with her from age 10 until I moved out when I was 21.  Except for the four months I was in Walt Disney World at 20.

  • Mom, What’s For Dinner? – Week of February 22

    Happy birthday in Heaven to my grandma! She would have been 88 years old today. When I talk about my inspirations for how I cook, she is one of the two family members I speak of.
