My bestie Diane, shared this recipe with me. Every year at Christmas when she attends the family get-together, they always request for her to bring this dish and there’s never any leftovers. It’s now one of my family’s favorites as well. The crunchy, buttery crust, creamy center, strawberry jello and whipped topping is like a […]
Side Dishes
Side dishes enhance the main course and really round out your meals. They might not be the star of the show, but these tasty dishes are just as memorable!
Potato Kugali
To me, this potato dish is a cross between a hash brown patty and a potato pancake. It’s plain and simple yet very delicious. We enjoy this dish with pork chops or a cube steak.
Pistachio Salad
This light and fluffy salad is bursting with pistachio flavor. It’s quick and easy to put together and makes a great side dish to bring to a gathering.
Pasta Salad
Your guest will be coming back for seconds once they try this savory pasta salad. It’s one of those recipes that you can freely add or omit veggies to suit your family’s tastes. Thanks to my sister Kathy for sharing this delicious salad recipe!
Oriental Coleslaw
Lets face it… at one time in our lives, we’ve all been invited to a party and were asked to bring a dish to share, but funds were low and we worried “what can I afford to bring?” This delicious coleslaw is the answer to your dilemma. It’s crisp, refreshing, tasty as can be and […]
Orange Delight Jello Mold
This refreshing jello mold reminds me of the orange ice cream bars I enjoyed as a little girl. Bursting with orange flavor, it’s fluffy and filled with luscious slices of mandarin oranges.
Noodle Kugel
Several years ago I was visiting my niece Margaret and her husbands Grandma Sarah lived with them. Sara was Jewish and Hanukkah was approaching, so she was telling us about the Dreidel she played with as a child. One thing lead to another and we ended up on the subject of food. Sarah mentioned a […]
Mom’s Lime Jello Mold
Hands down, this is my absolute favorite jello mold and the recipe was my Mom’s. I don’t have many of her original recipes as she died when I was a teenager and most of her recipes were not written down. But luckily, I have this treasure and I’m thrilled to share it with you. There’s […]
Hot Fudge Sauce
My sister-in-law Mary would make a jar of this sauce and when I would go to visit, I would bring ice cream. As soon as I walked in the door, she would warm up some of this chocolate sauce to drizzle over the ice cream. How she stayed so slim & trim I do not […]
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!
