When I was a teen, my stepmother made us some chicken and dumplings. Now, first I’ll tell you, my siblings and I were used to German style dishes…we never had anything like this, and being she was from the South, I figured this would be one of her specialties. Sadly, none of us cared for […]
If you’re looking for a meatless meal that’s quick and easy to prepare, and is darn right delicious, look no further! This hearty sandwich is served “open faced”, but if you like a full sandwich, just toast another slice of bread and top it off! I generally use albacore tuna, but regular tuna works just […]
One dish I really enjoy on a cold winters evening is a big bowl of hot soup. I was rummaging through some really old cook books and came across this recipe scribbled on the back cover of one of the books. Although I already have a great split pea soup recipe, I decided to give […]
Guacamole is one of my very favorite dishes. It can be served with tortilla chips as an appetizer, or as a side dish to go along with your favorite tacos, enchiladas or other Mexican dishes. There are no exact measures of ingredients in this dish as each person has their own preferences. For example, some […]
Thirty five years ago, I cleaned houses on the side to supplement my income. One of the ladies I worked for often offered me a sandwich for lunch. One of the dishes she made that was so memorable was turkey salad. She shared the recipe and I’ve made it many times throughout the years. Sadly, […]

Looking for a delicious treat to bring to an office party during the holidays that won’t break your pocketbook? This eggnog bread is moist and darn right delicious. Make several loaves to give for gifts this Christmas! Thanks to the Costco Connection magazine for this yummy recipe!
I recently was invited to a good neighbors house to join them for dinner. I brought dessert…one of which was a pecan pie. My neighbor mentioned that his favorite pie was pecan with chocolate chips and bourbon, so the quest to find a recipe with those ingredients was on. Low and behold I came across […]
If you like lip smacking good chicken, you’ve got to give this recipe a try. Normally I would not eat an anchovy, but through the years I have found that this hairy little fish packs a punch when blended with other ingredients. I have made this dish several times. The first time I didn’t have […]
Whenever I made a turkey dinner, my sister Elaine, may she RIP, would come over and pick most of the meat off the bones. She would then take home the carcass and make a big pot of soup. So, for the past 20 years, I’ve tossed out the carcass and felt guilty in doing so. […]
