These tender and tasty sugar cookies are covered with a glaze, rather than sugar. They can be decorated by adding food coloring to the glaze. Even though my children are grown, they still love these big cookies.

Crustless Spinach Quiche
This gluten free spinach quiche will be enjoyed by everyone. It’s easy to assemble and tastes fabulous. Chock full of spinach, onions, eggs and cheese.
Beer Bread
I had been making this bread for years, but wasn’t overly impressed. Then, just the other evening, my sister-in-law Nancy was raving over the beer bread she had made. We compared recipes and I decided to try hers. Hands down, this is the best beer bread I have ever eaten. The secret is the kind […]
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who wouldn’t love a GIANT chocolate chip cookie? A friend of mine has a daughter that does not like cake. When it was time for her birthday party, I suggested she bake these instead of a cake. The kids loved them. One batch makes 10 cookies.
German Potato Salad II
My supervisor, Cathy, brought this dish to several of our office parties. It’s quick and easy to make and a little bit different than the traditional German potato salad I grew up with. I especially enjoy the red onions, the” twang” of the apple cider vinegar and of course, BACON!
German Potato Salad
I just have to share this story with you. Over 40 years ago, my place of employment sponsored an Octoberfest Cook Off Contest that was being judged by chefs from two of Chicago’s finest German restaurants. The prize was just bragging rights, but I decided to enter this dish, which was my Mom’s recipe. Just […]

I added this recipe to my collection over 10 years ago and have served it to many guests through the years. The light and tender […]
General Tso’s Chicken
Looking for a simple yet delicious dinner idea prepared in your slow cooker? Well, if you like Asian style food, look no further. Cubes of chicken smothered in a delightful sauce with just a hint of heat, served over rice. Sometimes I add a can of water chestnuts or sugar snap peas about 30 minutes […]
Funeral Potatoes
My sister-in-law Eileen shared this recipe with me years ago. Of course I had to ask WHY this fabulous hash brown casserole was called Funeral Potatoes. The story goes… when someone in the parish passed away, the church ladies would host a luncheon after the funeral for the family and friends, and this was one […]
Filipino Fruit Salad
Whenever I would go to my friend’s house for a party, one of the dishes Marie always served was this outstanding fruit salad. It is filled with fruits that I had never heard of, nor eaten. Now if you’ve ever been to the Philippines, you’ve probably sampled them, but here in the U.S., you might […]
