Pineapple Pie is a good pie for a warm summer day…it just makes you think you are in the Islands somewhere, perhaps on a Pineapple Plantation and you are indulging in a slice of sweet pineapple. You can make this pie open faced (no crust or meringue) and just top it with a scoop of…
Fresh Peach Pie….or Peach cobbler makes you think of comfort foods. I grew up with comfort foods and I still enjoy them. In moderation of course. But why deny oneself one of the pleasures in life of eating great and good food, that is my motto….. This pie just screams Summertime and fruit orchards! Please…
This Banana Cream Pie recipe has been around our family for years. My Dad liked bananas and this was a favorite. Mother would make 3 pies….Chocolate Meringue Pie for us girls, Coconut Meringue Pie for herself and Banana Cream Pie with Meringue for Dad. We grew up on a farm and have always had laying…
The Lady of Camellias! I went out to the Lanai after church on Sunday and noticed that one of the bowls of Camellias surrounding the waterfall looked…well, looked wilted! I laughed out loud! So you say…perhaps some water would help! No, water is not the issue here…well, it did have something to do with its…
I am not going to call this a soup although it is going to be in the soup category. I used to make home made egg noodles until I found a secret. Reames frozen Noodles. This is so good that no one and I mean no one will be able to tell that you didn’t…
This is a great chowder recipe. Easy to make and tastes so good. It is colorful with the red and green peppers and the corn. My family loves this recipe and I hope you do to. I got the recipe about 50 years ago in the local newspaper. The newspaper has since gone out of…
As the weather gets colder, my thoughts turn to soup! It doesn’t matter what kind of soup… as I love almost any soup. I like to pair soup with salad or a sandwich. Some soups just call for a certain type of sandwich, such as tomato soup with grilled cheese. Yummy! But a long time…
I make a beef brisket when I plan to make tamales and some of my enchilada recipes. I make it in the slow cooker, see the recipe under main dishes. This recipe calls for the traditional shredded beef for the meat part of this recipe and the Crock Pot is the Cooker of choice. Low…
This recipe is for a slow cooker or crock pot. Brisket is a tougher cut of meat and requires slow cooking to make it a tender piece of meat. The good news is that there are many dishes you can make with this large piece of meat and it will keep in the freezer. The…
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,…
Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad was a Summer staple at our home, both growing up and after I married. I have two very good recipes, one was a recipe my Mother made with a vinegar base and the other was a salad my Aunt made with a creamy base. I love both recipes. I hope…
