When my husband and I were newlyweds, he was reminiscing about eating Borscht as a child. I decided to surprise him with a big pot of soup. With the help of my good friend Jane, this recipe quickly became a family favorite.

Blueberry Supreme Cake
It’s been nearly 50 years since my good friend Ruby shared this recipe with me. I always keep a can of blueberry pie filling in my cupboard just in case I get a “hankering” for this moist and tender treat.

Black Bean Taco Casserole
This tasty dish, shared at a pot luck luncheon, was the talk of the lunchroom. Everyone, including me, requested the recipe. Thanks to Monica, this is now in my “easy dinners” recipe file. It goes great with a side of Guacamole, tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream.

Better Than Sex Cake
My sister Kathy shared this recipe with me several years ago. I’ve made it several times and everyone raves about it. It’s so good, it doesn’t need frosting. I like to dust it with a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
Beer Dip
I dislike beer, but I LOVE this dip. If you’re making this for a get-together, such as a football party, I suggest doubling the recipe. Speaking from experience, the men will park in front of the bowl and it will be gone in no time at all. It is best served with pretzel nubs.
Beef Teriyaki
It’s been over 40 years since my old friend Bong shared this recipe with me. It’s quick and easy and oh so tasty. It is served over rice and pairs well with sauteed spinach and garlic.
