When I make these potatoes, I pop them in the microwave. It only takes about 8 minutes for two medium potatoes. They can also be baked in the oven for 40-60 minutes. You can add anything you like to these potatoes or change them up by using a different cheese like fresh parmesan or one of your favorites. Wash your potatoes with […]
This is one of the easiest meats you will ever prepare. It is done completely in the slow cooker. It has a great combination of flavors with the sweetness of the pineapple, spiciness of the BBQ sauce and the touch of salty soy sauce. It’s hard to believe there are only four ingredients in this recipe with all the flavor. Place your […]
For Christmas my husband asked for a sausage making kit along with the stuffer/grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer. He finally got around to making it and it was well worth the wait. This was very time consuming and not exactly easy to do. He only complained a little but kept saying he hoped they tasted awful so he […]
I have always loved the store bought Chex mix. It is so much cheaper to make your own because once you purchase your ingredients, you get multiple batches of Chex Mix from them. I have tried other recipes that I found on line for Chex Mix, but they have never tasted just right for me. I finally came up with […]
Who doesn’t love baked potatoes filled with cheese, bacon, sour cream and onions? When I make these for dinner, they are our meal. I think these turn out so good because of the bacon and bacon grease. I save all my bacon grease and use it many times while cooking. Everyone thinks bacon grease is so bad for you. But […]
Who doesn’t love a big hearty bowl of soup. I love soup, even in the summer time. This recipe is one I made out of ingredients I always have on hand. As good as it is, like all soup, it is even better the next day. This recipe would even be good frozen if you left out the pasta. Then, […]
I wasn’t sure how I wanted to go about creating a really good Strawberry Ice Cream recipe. Then I figured I would start with my basic Vanilla Ice Cream recipe I make and everybody already loves. Boy oh boy did it turn out delicious! My Whitehouse Cherry Ice Cream use to be my husbands favorite ice cream that I make. He said this […]
My husband gets credit for this recipe! He had the idea and I said “Go for it.” I usually am not crazy about Mexican food and he just loves it. I had to work last night so he made this for his dinner. I love that he named it Mexican Pot Pie, so appropriate. I also love that he is […]
I have grown my own asparagus for over 20 years. Usually I eat it cooked different ways or I make Asparagus Soup with it. Last fall I went to Amish Country and found Pickled Asparagus and knew I had to make it with my home grown Asparagus! Start by holding a stalk in the middle and at the root end. […]
Today I am not blogging about food. We live in the country and nobody ever gets to see our 50 foot long, 8 foot high and 6 foot wide arbor so I thought I would use my blog to share it with all of you. My husband built the arbor for me back in 1997 and I worked endlessly pruning and […]
