I love it when my sister-in-law makes homemade runzas.  They taste so awesome, she does need to make them more often though (hint, hint).  She is also one of those cooks that just cooks.  Me, I need a recipe to follow, so she wrote it out for me so I could make runzas on my […]

My mom used to make these quite often and now I enjoy making them as well.  Some candy recipes used to intimidate me a bit when they started talking about which stage to cook them too, but my trusty candy thermometer works quite well and I just heat everything to the right temperature and have

Casseroles are great but you don’t always have the time to get it all ready for the oven and bake it too. When we are short on time and I want to make something the whole family really likes I rely on my old Goop recipe.

One of my most favorite recipes is my sister-in-laws recipe for saucy meatballs. I just love this recipe and try to wrangle a dinner invitation anytime she is making it.

One of the first supper meal recipes of my mom’s that I learned how to make was this round steak recipe. I still make it to this day, it is that good.

I am always looking for good soup recipes that I can use for supper ideas in the winter. My whole family likes this hamburger soup. I often serve it with a side salad and fresh rolls.

I can remember my mom making this quite a bit when I was growing up. I was a bit of a picky eater but even I would go back for more porcupines. I liked it best when she made it with homemade rolls and a big garden salad. I find myself making it quite often

I suppose you could call this a casserole but with its spicy ingredients it isn’t what I normally think of when it comes to casseroles. You can make this as spicy as you like it by varying between mild and hot salsa and peppers. This recipe is a favorite for our family get togethers and

I’ve tried many salmon recipes but this one is my favorite and it is super easy to prepare.

Crab cakes are a delicious way to treat the whole family. With a good recipe and a little time they will be begging for more. Since taste is all that matters, I like to use a minimal amount of filler in my recipe. It tends to be a bit more expensive but the cost is

Fruit smoothies are a great way to cool off and add some nutrition into your diet at the same time. Adults and kids alike will love this tasty treat. You can vary the fruits and juices to your own personal taste. Try different combinations to find the one that you like the best.

I use this as a base recipe for my meatloaf and I vary it with other ingredients and spices.

Well my recipe card says blueberry dessert, but I make it as a blueberry salad. But I guess you could consider it either one.

I always like to make some kind of side dish when the family gets together that will please even the youngest members of the family. Everyone seems to like this one, if the empty bowl says anything.

I love fruit salad of almost any kind because I like fruit. Someone shared this recipe with me and I thought this is a little unusual with the lime in it. Maybe I am the only one that hadn’t ever tasted a fruit salad made like this and if so I have really been missing

My frog eye salad recipe makes quite a bit so I love to take it to family gatherings. It is slightly sweet and fruity so it makes a nice addition to summer barbecues as well. You do need to start in the night before so keep that in mind if you are planning to make

When it comes to potato salad recipes it gets a little difficult. Most people have their own and it is not anything wrote down, you just make it.

If you need a quick vegetable side dish to take somewhere or if you are just looking for something different to serve at home then this cauliflower one is very good and quite quick to make.

I don’t know where my mom found this but I am glad she did. Our whole family really likes it. It should have a better name than cream cheese salad though. But I guess once you have tried this one there is no other one that will ever taste so good,

This tastes better than you think. I was surprised when I saw the list of ingredients. One note though, I gave a copy of this to a friend and was not clear enough I guess. It calls for sunflower seeds and I incorrectly assumed everyone would understand that meant the meats not the whole sunflower
