I have been making these Beans for more than 30 years. I have tasted different recipes for Baked Beans, but these are my favorite. I like them cold and I like them hot. Each time we have smoked Ribs…this recipe is a must. I make these beans with canned pork and beans….preferable Van Kamp. I…
This is an easy recipe that can be prepared the night before and cooked on low in the crock pot. Or put on high for 4 hours. You can add chopped pieces of ham and shredded cheese if desired. A very adaptable recipe. I use this recipe for some Holiday Dinners when I don’t want…
This recipe came from a friend of mine from 40 years ago. Lila had an eye for presentation and this recipe was something her Mother prepared regularly. Lila called it “down home food” but there was no reason that the recipe had to be mundane….so she added scallions or parsley to make the meat balls…
I Love the flavors of butterscotch and chocolate and this Butterscotch Brownie recipe brings those flavors together. Easy recipe and good “go to” recipe. I have made these retro brownies for years…we used to host game night which could be cards or board games….and the adults liked these butterscotch brownies about as much as the…

The Winter Olympics have started! Did you see the opening ceremony was last night? I always look forward to the Olympics, the athletes, the games! I love all the pomp and circumstance. I love the music that is… and has been …a prelude to the beginning of the games each day and evening during…
Chicken and Lentil Soup should now be the soup of choice for people who are under the weather! At least, I declare that if I am sick, please bring me this Chicken and Lentil Soup tucked away in a hot thermos! Who doesn’t love soup? This Winter is proving to be a little challenging with…
Peanut Butter Brownies! Have you ever tasted a combination of flavors that you just can’t quite get enough of? That is the way I feel about peanut butter and chocolate. And this recipe is a really good combination which creates a chewy, chocolate chip Brownie…and it certainly doesn’t hurt that peanut butter is thrown in….
Chile Rellenos Casserole! I guess you can tell we really like Mexican food in this house. And we really like it spicy. I believe all those years of living in New Mexico gave me a new appreciation for Mexican food. This recipe is what I would call a Tex/Mex recipe, meaning it is not too…
Do you like Pork Quesadillas? There are so many combinations of ingredients for quesadillas that each time I come across an unusual ingredient, I have to make the recipe. This is another of my sweet and savory combinations that I really like. It touches all my senses and when it comes to eating food…that…
