My sister-in-law Eileen shared this recipe with me years ago. Of course I had to ask WHY this fabulous hash brown casserole was called Funeral Potatoes. The story goes… when someone in the parish passed away, the church ladies would host a luncheon after the funeral for the family and friends, and this was one […]

Filipino Fruit Salad
Whenever I would go to my friend’s house for a party, one of the dishes Marie always served was this outstanding fruit salad. It is filled with fruits that I had never heard of, nor eaten. Now if you’ve ever been to the Philippines, you’ve probably sampled them, but here in the U.S., you might […]
Fruit Salad Surprise
Before I retired, every once in a while, we would have a “pot luck” luncheon, where everyone would bring a dish to share. One of the ladies brought in this mouthwatering dish and shared the recipe. Sadly, I don’t remember which lady brought this in, so I’ll just say “thank you, who ever you are”.
Forget Me Not Mints
This is another one of my “Christmas Cookie Collection” recipes. This cookie is a pastel colored green cookie with mini chocolate chip morsels, and a delightful mint flavor. It is a meringue style cookie, that have a “sleep over”” in your oven. These cookies melt in your mouth!
Flounder with Fennel
Fish has never been one of my favorite foods, so when we decided to eat healthier, I picked up some flounder at the market. I scoured through my church cookbooks (that’s where you’ll find the best recipes because no one wants to put their name on something that’s not tasty) and came across this dish. […]
Five Hour Stew
Back when my children were young, I used to clean houses for a living. Sometimes, when I arrived to their homes and I would be hit with a most tantalizing aroma when I reached the kitchen. Of course I would inquire what it was and would ask for the recipe. This is one of those […]
Essence of Emeril Seasoning
I was given a recipe a few years ago that required some Essence of Emeril seasoning. After going to three different grocery stores to find it, all to no avail, I came home and went online and found this recipe. It might not be exactly the same as the official Emeril brand, but it’s awfully […]
Eggnog Snickerdoodles
This cookie recipe comes from my official “Christmas Cookie Collection”. It’s a crisp, sugar cookie rolled in sugar and nutmeg, with a hint of rum and brandy. I recommend buying those extracts before the holidays as they are hard to find once holiday baking season arrives.
Egg Rolls
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 […]
Eggnog Cream Puffs
My absolute favorite Christmastime treat is a tray piled high with Eggnog Cream Puffs. These delectable little puffs are filled with an eggnog custard like filling.
