Green Pea, Cheddar & Bacon Salad
Back in our camping days, we used to stop at a little Mom & Pop grocery store where they sold homemade salads. One of our favorites was a green pea salad with bacon and cheese. I’ve tried many recipes trying to find one that closely resembled the pea salad that we enjoyed and finally, came […]
Luscious Chicken Breasts
By far, this is one of my favorite EASY recipes. No fancy cream sauce, no massive amounts of ingredients…just simple everyday items from your cupboard. I have found that brining my chicken breasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour before preparing the dish makes for tender and juicy chicken. This step is totally optional. If […]
Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Every year when blueberries are at their peak, I bake this fabulous coffee cake. Bursting with flavor, this moist cake will please everyone. I prefer fresh blueberries, but frozen works as well. A special thanks to Ruby (RIP) for sharing this recipe back in 1971.
Lemon Frosting
This frosting has an intense, yet delightful flavor. The recipe makes enough to frost a 9×13 inch cake or 18 cupcakes. It’s quick and easy to whip up and ever so tasty

The World’s Best Steak Marinade
There’s nothing better than a tender, juicy and flavorful steak. I’ve tried several recipes and finally decided I’ve found the perfect one! The original recipe called for 1/2 teaspoon salt. I omitted the salt as there is plenty in the soy sauce and Worchestershire sauce. Thanks to the Recipe Critic for sharing this recipe.
Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting
Talk about delectable…this is it! Rich and velvety smooth, filled with chocolatey goodness. Dress up any cake with this “not too sweet” frosting. Try it on banana bread for a real treat! This makes enough frosting to generously cover a 9×13 inch cake.
Cemetery Cake (Chocolate)
A few days ago, someone posted this recipe on a social media site, noting it came from the Milwaukee Public Library Recipe File. Being the curious person I am, I felt the need to try out the recipe and I’m glad I did! It’s so easy to put together, using simple ingredients you most likely […]
Mexican Street Corn Salad
A good friend of mine recently went to a potluck luncheon and this is one of the dishes she feasted on. She requested the recipe, which her neighbor graciously shared, so that I could share it with you. According to the notes on the recipe card, this salad can be served warm or cold (I […]
