Braised Nuggets of Beef
What could be more satisfying than tender nuggets of beef, drenched in a rich, thick gravy, served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes?

Macaroni & Cheese
Who doesn’t LOVE macaroni & cheese? Aah…that would be me. I think that stems back to 50 years ago, when my first child was born.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Back in the mid 1980’s, I had baked a rhubarb pie for my soon to be father-in-law. While he enjoyed the pie, he mentioned that his favorite was strawberry rhubarb. I had never made one of those, so I checked out many of the recipes in my cookbooks, tried a few, did some tweaking and […]
American Potato Salad
What could possibly be more American than a side of creamy potato salad? Mom used to make a HUGE bowl of this for our summertime family reunions and there were never any leftovers. My uncles would mosey over to the bowl and fill their plates like it was their last meal. Of course Mom was […]
