The Captain and I have been so busy the last few days entertaining and serving corned beef and cabbage…I made about 40 pounds of corned beef along with 6 huge cabbages and fed about 40-50 people. Along the way I made a favorite meal-in-one for a quick meal for us in between the main St….
Easter decorating can be as simple as buying a wreath and adding personal touches to it or setting up a 3 piece vignette. A couple years ago, I found the prettiest grapevine wreath at JoAnns Fabric and Craft store. A few pastel colored eggs were arranged in strategic places on the wreaths…however, I…
Potato Magic On Your Plate! Fall is all about layers and textures and I particularly like foods that reflect the very same thing. Can I tell you these potatoes are like magic…they melt in your mouth and you can’t eat just one! ? I like to call this recipe potato magic because I combined different…
Lets talk potatoes…my favorite side dish by far. I love all kinds of potatoes especially creamy mashed potatoes with cream gravy, or brown gravy or just about any kind of gravy…and fried potatoes with onions…and Baked Potatoes loaded with cheese and broccoli…and roasted potatoes with butter and Lawry’s Seasoned Salt…and scalloped potatoes with 5…
Individual Home Made Chicken Pot Pie… I love chicken pot pie and they really are so easy to make. They can be made in any amount and that is one of the conveniences that I find the most helpful. Yesterday was one of those days that did not allow a lot of time to prepare…

Potluck Scalloped Potatoes were always a good “go to” recipe. Your pantry should have all the ingredients which are simply potatoes, onions, flour, milk and salt and pepper. This recipe does not call for cheese, but of course one could easily add any type cheese which would make it “Potatoes Au-Gratin”…cheese and a nice topping…
Let’s Eat Stew, Chunky Mexican Stew! Cold weather makes one think of soups and stews and certainly those of you in the Midwest and Northeast most likely are making delicious soups regularly.
