Who doesn’t love delicious baked macaroni and cheese? I elevated the flavor by adding cooked bacon, two kinds of cheese and topped with buttered Panko Crumbs for a delicious flavor. Whether you eat it as a side dish or a meal, your family will love it! Using a fork, combine melted butter with panko crumbs then set aside. Crumble bacon […]
This is my new favorite dessert. Oreo Cookie crumbs layered with chocolate pudding and Cool Whip (or any whipped topping) then topped with shavings of a chocolate bar. It only takes minutes to prepare and is one of the easiest and best tasting pudding type desserts I have ever had! This can be made the day before you need it […]
This is the perfect family meal as it has vegetables, noodles, your favorite meat, creamed soup and don’t forget the cheese! It would be easy with leftover Thanksgiving turkey, rotisserie chicken or cooked pork. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Melt butter in a medium skillet and cook the onion, celery and carrots until the onion is no longer […]
Pork Loins are a lean, tender and juicy cut of meat as long as you don’t overcook it. It is the perfect meat for Thanksgiving if you don’t care for turkey or need extra meat. Don’t confuse Pork Loin with Pork Tenderloin as they are two different cuts of pork. Place the sliced onion on the bottom of the slow […]
Spaghetti noodles tossed with a creamy homemade Alfredo sauce that is made with two types of cheese and baked in the oven. You could add cooked chicken pieces for a completely different taste. In a large pot cook the pasta according to package directions in salted water (about one tablespoon) for one minute less than the package directions states. Drain […]
Twice baked potatoes are easy and delicious. Made with potato, butter, milk, green onion, cheese, sour cream and seasonings.

Let them cool and refrigerate for the next day, half the work will already be done. Bake potatoes whole […]
Have you ever tasted Clafoutis? I decided to make this for my granddaughter because she is in her second year of taking French class in high school. This is an easy and quick dessert, like a cross between cake and custard with delicious sour cherries to offset the sweetness. I used frozen sour cherries, but fresh sour cherries will also […]
Hot creamy shredded chicken that can be served over noodles, biscuits, toast, rice or whatever is your favorite. I used noodles and tossed it all together then served. What a simple, quick and delicious meal that is a big hit at our house. Shred cooked chicken, I used rotisserie chicken. Cook the noodles. Drain the noodles and set aside. Over […]
No, I’m not crazy! This is the perfect way to eat leftover spaghetti. I have always loved putting spaghetti on a single piece of bread and butter but it is flimsy and usually the spaghetti falls off. So I thought, why not put spaghetti on thick buttered Texas style toast instead. It was a great idea as not only did […]
I tried broccolini for the first time today and I love it even more than broccoli.

With thin, elongated stems, broccolini tastes similar to broccoli, but […]
