Kelli's easy recipes for the home cook.
Do you have some leftover feta cheese in your refrigerator? At our house we love to make Gyros and Greek salad, both with feta cheese. We often end up with some leftover feta that sits in the refrigerator until it goes bad. This Feta Gravy over chicken recipe is an excellent way to use…
Have you heard about the new “updated” recipe on the Libby’s can? Don’t you hate it when they fix something that doesn’t need fixing?!?! I do! So — just to be safe, here is the Classic Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Recipe for your Thanksgiving table! Classic Pumpkin Pie Recipe INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon…
It is so hard to get Rocket to eat any vegetables. Our 7 year old boy would really rather vegetables just disappear from the earth. He’s said so. But if there are any vegetables he might be willing to let touch his plate, it’s probably carrots. He’ll argue that he doesn’t mind potatoes, but this…
Andy has been asking for homemade macaroni and cheese for days. Not the stuff in the box! I like it the way my great grandmother made it and taught me to make it. Creamy and warm macaroni and cheese is a holiday staple in my family. But Andy asked, this week, why we have it…
We are having Baked Beans tonight at a family potluck. We are making them 2 ways and I will share those ways with you so you can either make both or choose the one that suits your family best. The only difference is whether you add cooked bacon or cooked sausage. Both are delicious! Southern…
We are always looking for tasty, easy one dish meals that don’t require very much prep time at all. Our family, like a whole lot of others, use rotisserie chicken as a super time saver. They taste great and are not expensive. Another of my favorite time savers is microwave mashed potatoes. This recipe…
Hi All! It is close enough to spring to play with some Peeps. I love how you can use props and make them do anything. Here are a few for your enjoyment.
This is a very easy cake to make with kids. I made this cake with Rocket and he thought it was really neat to put the cake batter on top of the marshmallows and he loved flipping it upside-down. Using a cake mix makes this really cook cake quick and easy. Give it a try…

Our family is working on getting healthier and we have been using Weight Watchers recipes and concepts to do it. We’ll be sharing the best recipes we have made with you in the coming months. We still make great comfort food and not everything will be points driven at Kelli’s Kitchen. “Everything in moderation, including…

On just about any potluck spread, where I’m from, you will find cream cheese pinwheels. They’re one of my potluck favorites, and everyone else’s, too. I like these salami pinwheels even better because there is no flour tortilla involved. I love tortillas but they get kind of soggy in pinwheels. The salami in this recipe…
New Year’s Eve has always been fun with my mom. It’s full of junk food and movies and staying up late. Well, late can be relative. I am so thankful that Netflix has an anytime countdown for kids. I bet we all end up in bed by 11. One of our favorite New Year’s Eve…
Since we moved to our new house it’s pretty hard to find things. Lots of boxes are still packed and at a storage unit. We moved at Christmas last year so I knew where some Christmas decorations were but not most of them. I couldn’t find the ornaments for the Christmas tree, but I…
This Chicken Waldorf Salad is an oldie but goodie. But first, my heart is heavy and I must tell you that Lillian from Lillian’s Cupboard blog has passed away unexpectedly. She was an 85-year-old dynamo that was full of love, recipes and knitting! She led a great life from start to finish in Ohio and…
Are you ready for the holidays? Boy Howdy — here we go! This recipe is for Fresh Green Bean Casserole instead of the kind you make with canned green beans. That one get a bit mushy, don’t you think? It is pretty straight forward and I think you will love it — you can, like…
Top Girl, here! Bringing you one of my favorite kinds of cake. Some people prefer chocolate cake and others prefer vanilla cake, but my favorite has less to do with flavor and more to do with shape. My favorite cake is a bundt cake and almost always with no icing. I like my bundt cake…
This is a very difficult post to write and has no recipe. It is about your or someone else’s Cpap or Bipap machine. The reason this is important is because I desperately need a Bipap machine and it is completely cost prohibitive to me at this time. The waiting list for a local benevolent association…
How are y’all doing? Has it cooled off where you live? It sure has here! I actually wore a light jacket the other night in between all the rain and windiness. This stuffed peppers with sausage and grits is a bit labor intensive but oh-so-worth-it! Sweet bell peppers of all colors are in abundance right…
