( Thanks to my sister Joan for sharing this yummy-licious stuffed cabbage roll recipe with me. Talk about a “comfort food”, this one is it. I stuff each cabbage leaf with approximately 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. I like to serve it the cabbage rolls with mashed or boiled potatoes. This recipe makes 15-16 […]
I was searching for a recipe for a treat to serve a gluten free friend of mine. I tried several recipes and was getting discouraged because everything I tried came out dry of extremely crumbly. Then I found this recipe. The muffins turned out tender and delicious. and my entire family loved them.
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!

Way back in the mid 1960’s, as I was walking past my sister-in-law Helen’s mother’s house ,she came out munching on an egg roll that her mom Olga had just made. She spotted me and offered one to me . I enjoyed it so much I just had to have that recipe. I think I […]
At Christmas time, there are always friends, neighbors or family members that you would like to give a small gift to, but the funds just aren’t available. Well, last year, a dear friend found herself in that situation and here’s what she did. She bought some mason jars and filled them with ingredients to make […]
I used to collect cookbooks…you know, the kind they sell at Church socials and other fund raisers. Well, back in 2006, I was leafing through one of those books, and I came across this recipe. I decided to give it a whirl and here I am, 14 years later, sharing that same recipe. Thanks to […]
