Happy New Year, everyone. I have to apologize for not posting any recipes in a while. Sitting at the computer during the holidays was much harder to do than I thought, for great lengths of time anyway. And, as you can imagine, I spent much of my time in the kitchen, as did many of you I’m sure.
Tonight I made a delicious pork roast that I quickly prepared before church, and it was ready for dinner. What makes this especially good, is not only the spices but the fact that you top your shredded pork off with homemade cole slaw, all within a bun. It’s really good, and the pork and sweet cabbage are a perfect marriage. I’m certain your whole family will love it. Give it a try!

This is a quick and easy recipe, and it was from Pillsbury so they would like it if you bought one of their crusts BUT I think it tastes even better if you make your own. You can make that choice, but I have to tell you, it’s good to know how to make your own crust. I make 2 at a time, rolling them out, folding them into quarters (just like Pillsbury does) wrapping them and freezing them. So when I need one, it’s already made which obviously cuts a huge chunk of time out of your dinner prep. Anyway, I’ll leave it up to you. If you need a crust recipe you can refer to most cookbooks, or your grandmother. I just use one out of my old reliable Betty Crocker cookbook that was given to me at one of my wedding showers. I will post it at the end for you in case you need one. Be patient. Learning to make crust can take a little practice, but it’s worth the trouble.

Hello there everyone! Wow, please accept my apology as I have been quite neglectful of my site. Life has taken over!! While I’ve got your attention, I’d like to remind everyone that this isn’t all about me. (That probably comes as a shock to those of you who know me well). If you’ve any recipes you’d like to share of your own, please send them in and I’ll post them for you. I have already started doing this, and I have just as much to learn from you!! I too need fresh ideas from time to time. Moving right along. . . . . let me say that this recipe that we’re making today is so great for big groups, and it’s safe as well, in other words there’s nothing weird in it for picky eaters. It’s perfect for big groups, too as it serves quite a few, at least 12. So, give this one a try and let me know how you like it. It’s one of those dishes that we refer to as “comfort food”. So, go get comfy in your kitchen!! Read More »
This is by far the best broccoli cheese soup I’ve ever made. I threw out my other recipe. What I also love about it is that it’s all inclusive. It’s full of vegetables so I just usually serve it up with some crusty bread and you’ve got dinner.
BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
1 large cubed potato, 2 C chopped fresh broccoli, 2 C sliced carrots, 4 buillon cubes, 1 chopped onion. Cook all in 3 C water (or chicken stock if you’ve got it). In another pan, melt 1/2 C butter. Add 1/2 C flour, 1/2 t salt (or another buillon cube). Stir together and add 4 C milk. Cook til thick and bubbly and add 1 lb chopped velveeta. Once the cheese is melted into the rue you may add it to the vegetable mixture. Stir and serve.
O.K. I had to name this dish something, and that’s as creative as I get. I have no idea what this is really called, so if you think of something better let me have it!! Now, this is a quick dish I make on nights that I haven’t decided what’s for dinner until about 3:00. I almost always have the ingredients on hand, except for the velveeta, but when I do, I almost always make this. Read More »
I have been making this dish since my kids were very small, so for about 17 years. It’s a great way to use up the rest of a whole ham, or I very often buy that turkey ham and cube it, too. It has wonderful flavor, and tastes so good with a crisp lettuce salad with Italian dressing, and a simple veggie on the side. Hope you like it! Read More »
This is the perfect recipe to throw together for a game day, or to put together before church, and it’ll be done when you get home. It tastes so good, and if you’re not into green pepper, you can omit them. You will need: Read More »
Hello Bloggers! Thanks for once again, checking in. I hope I’m making it worth your while.
So, last week I bought a 10# bag of Russet potatoes on sale. This week, they’re still sitting in my basement, untouched. Now, you know that potatoes won’t hang around too long, at least the ones from the grocer because they’re not that fresh. So, I thought that I should use some of them before they spoil, and I was interested in freezing them, but wasn’t sure how. I did some research and found a couple of helpful ideas. Read More »
I used to buy this huge bottle of Teriyaki marinade at Sam’s club to marinate chicken in. This stuff really tasted good, and how easy is it to thaw out some chicken parts and pour this stuff on top for a few hours. I either grilled it, or stuck it in the oven. Either way, it was delicious. One day I was thawing out some chicken for the purpose of marinating it in this stuff when I realized to my horror that I was out of it. Now, not liking to be a slave to the grocery store, I thought there must be a way I can make this stuff on my own. Read More »
