When I was a kid, my parents always encouraged me to try many different types of food. I think the only food I didn’t like was onion and green peppers. When my mom made stuffed green peppers, she always made me a separate pot of the stuffing with the green pepper left out. I still do not like green pepper today. Dad was […]
Fixing Chicken & Dumplings in the slow cooker is another easy and delicious meal. Dumplings can be made homemade or you can buy a can of home-style biscuits from the store and cut each biscuit into four pieces. This way is very easy and they turn out like dumplings, not biscuits. There are many different types of dumplings so pick your favorite as they […]
Shrimp, Andouille Sausage and Pasta, can it get any better? This recipe is made completely on top of the stove and is full of Cajun flavoring. Recipe adapted from Laurie Lynard.
How many times do you have left over tortillas and just throw them out? I decided to turn mine into seasoned Tortilla Chips and were they yummy! Not to mention we had them with Chi-Chi’s Medium Salsa, our favorite. They were so good warm, right out of the oven, and the perfect snack. You can add any spices you would […]
I can never turn down Crab Rangoon! I love how this recipe turned out. I bake a big batch of them and freeze them uncooked. They are ready to eat in 30 minutes from the freezer to our plates. When I’m ready to fix dinner, I put them on a cooking tray to thaw for about 15-20 minutes and bake them in the […]

It was in the 60’s in Northern Ohio in February, what a beautiful day to cook on the grill! My husband is a wonderful cook. Cooking on the grill is his specialty. Years ago, when my […]

Every year for Christmas I buy my husband a beef stick from Hickory Farms. It’s kind of funny because I don’t usually care to eat any, however, these were amazing! Never in my wildest dreams did I know how easy they are to make. I don’t understand the process in which the ground beef turns into the beef stick consistency […]
I always look forward to Sundays. My grandchildren (age 2 & 5) visit for about 14 hours. Now keep in mind, I am not a morning person! Yet when the alarm goes off at 6:15 am I have no problem getting up to see their smiling faces at my door. Feeding them throughout the day is no problem, they eat […]
