This simple to make dish is bursting with flavor. It’s great “as is” or get creative and add chopped water chestnuts, sesame seeds, snow peas, edame beans, bean sprouts or whatever your family enjoys. I serve this over rice, but it is also good wrapped in a lettuce leaf .

Oh the memories I have of my mother making these cookies. There were 10 kids in the family, so when she would make these, as they were coming out of the oven, she would have to ration them to one cookie for each child. Then she’d pack them away until Christmas Eve when the relatives […]
Knudson Coffee Cake
One of my old customers, Esther, shared this recipe with me over 30 years ago. It is such a wonderful cake, made in a tube pan. Your friends and family will be impressed when you serve this buttery cake.

This is a great dish to serve when a “pot luck” or “buffet” style dinner is being served. It’s easy to prepare and full of deliciousness.
Italian Cookies
It’s been over 40 years since a sweet little Italian lady, Rosa Marie, shared this recipe with me. She used to bake these for all of her families weddings’ As you can see from the massive amount of flour, it makes hundreds of cookies, so I usually cut the recipe in 1/4th. When I make […]

Irish Soda Bread
It’s been about 10 years since I came upon this delicious soda bread recipe. A lady named Karin posted it on the All Recipes site and am I glad she did, because it is scrumptious and so easy to make. The only change I made was to add raisins, as that’s what my family likes. […]

Another tasty recipe I came across is this flavorful, tender salisbury steak, buried in cremmi mushrooms and gravy, made in your instant pot.

It turned out to be a winner, winner chicken dinner in our home. You’ll want to make these quick & easy juicy thighs often. I usually serve these with […]
Hungarian Goulash
I have a cute story to share about this recipe. Shortly after my mother passed away, I was looking for some different kinds of meals to cook for my Dad and siblings. My eldest sister Marge, who was already married, lent me her cookbook and that’s where I found this recipe. It sounded good, so […]
