Taco Salad
Taco Salad…so quick and easy! This recipe has been around for over 40 years with many variations. But the Ranch Beans are a must. Cheese can be sprinkled on top, but we like to mix it into the salad. Enjoy! Me

I really like Spring and the fresh salads that go with. The first time we pull out the grill for hamburgers, I think of this easy salad. My Mother made this recipe a lot while we were growing up. My Aunt always made a variation of this recipe by using mayo and milk. Same ingredients,…

Poor Boy Bars
A good friend gave me this recipe about 50 years ago. The title is interesting as this recipe was supposedly originated by using whatever was available in the cupboard. There are few ingredients but the Bar resembles a spice raisin cake with frosting or glaze. See if you like this recipe. My family really…
