Hamburger Goo Sandwiches…Say WHAT? When I found this handwritten recipe in Mom’s old recipe box I must say I wasn’t sure what to expect. But since my mom was the best cook I’ve ever known I was willing to give it a try. My mom lived through the Depression, and she absolutely knew how to […]
Everything But The Kitchen Sink Soup
As many of you know, Peepaw and I are “Snow Birds”. And I’m happy to say it’s almost time for these old birds to “fly our frigid Iowa coop” for the winter! Why leave you ask? Well…right now it’s 12 degrees outside my window in Iowa…and it’s 83 degrees at our Florida nest! (I may […]
Butternut Squash Soup…A HUG In A Bowl
Our family loves soup. Any kind of soup. And this roasted Butternut Squash version is a favorite of mine. There is something so gratifying about sitting down at the table to dig into a steaming bowl of soup. And if you add some crispy crackers or a crusty loaf of French bread for dunking…well…that’s even […]
Down-home Chicken Noodle Soup
Sometimes a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup is JUST what the doctor ordered…even if you’re not sick! And even though Mom was the best cook I’ve ever known, she wasn’t afraid to open a can of soup instead of making it from scratch if she was in a rush. So for lunch she sometimes served […]
Meemaw’s Stovetop Mac & Cheese
I spent much of the day today on my computer so I didn’t have time to cook a gourmet meal. Instead, I threw together a big pot of Meemaw’s Mac & Cheese, the most-requested dish for all seven of our grand kids. From the time our grand babies could sit up and hold a spoon, they […]
Winter Warm-up Chili
Since Winter Storm Olympia continues to batter much of the Midwest and East Coast, a pot of my Winter Warm-up Chili seemed the perfect way to commiserate with those being hit with freezing ice and snow, even if I am doing it from the sunny climes of Florida. I’ve been making chili for almost fifty […]
Honey Balsamic Harvest Salad with Grilled Chicken
It’s the New Year, and so many of us are looking for ways to eat foods that are GOOD for us. And if you’re like me…..the holidays happened. And yeah. My body told me enough was enough, so I invented this tasty salad to help get me back on track in eating a rainbow everyday. Give it […]
Asian Kale Chicken Salad
In honor of the new year and all of those resolutions being set, here’s a throwback post to one of my favorite salad recipes. It’s a good way to get your veggies in! Here are most of the salad dressing ingredients I used… The salad…a work in progress… Looks good, eh? Another Rainbow for […]
White Bean Turkey Chili
I LOVE Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, if someone could bottle the smell of that dinner cooking, I would be first in line to buy it. But when it comes to leftovers of ANY kind…I’m not much of a fan. So today I invented a White Bean Turkey Chili using some of that delicious left-over turkey…and […]
Slow Cooker Bacon & Ham Potato Soup
I’m not much good at following recipes as they’re written. (I don’t even like to color within the lines with the grandkids.) So when I see a recipe online that sounds promising, I immediately begin to “doctor it up” as my Mom used to say. The recipe online said to cook this soup on LOW […]
