Appetizers
Carne Adovada
Adovada is what New Mexicans generally call Mexican adobada. They both mean pork pieces that are marinated in a red chili sauce for a long time then baked to perfection. You can use it then for tacos, burritos, in eggs, just about anywhere you want. We made tacos with this recipe. You will love it…
Madam Wong’s Pizza Rolls #Bloggerclue
Today is the fourth installment of Blogger C.L.U.E. Society where we are given another person’s blog and a word that our recipe should be associated with. This month I got my dear friend Stacy’s blog Food Lust People Love. I have been fascinated by the lunch lady, Madame Wong, who Stacy spoke so admiringly of…
Spinach Dip
Mother, who was a Medical Technologist, came home from work one day with a recipe from the head tech whose name was Roy. Roy and his wife Lynne were (and still are I hope) among the kindest people I have ever met and Lynne was quite a cook too. The Laboratory where mom worked had…
Smorgastarta
A Smorgastarta is a Swedish Sandwich Cake recipe that has many variations. I had my first one at my Aunt and Uncle’s home on graduation night for my cousin. Aunt Jan used bright pink food coloring for one of the layers and I was so mesmerized by this great tasting savory “cake” with bright pink…

Prejean’s Gumbo
October 12 was national gumbo day, giving me an excuse to make the warm comforting dish. I began making it at the request of Lawyer Boy after he spent one summer in Lafayette, La for an internship. His dad and I visited him while he was there and had the pleasure of eating dinner at…
Mozzarella Cheese Coins Appetizer
We went to a restaurant not long ago and our family ordered appetizers. When they brought them, they were not the regular Mozzarella cheese sticks, they were cheese coins and they were great! Mr. Picky Eater really enjoyed them asking if I would try to recreate them at home. I could not believe he asked…
Bacon Salad with Warm Dressing #baconmonth
This recipe was the only other recipe I found in the box of pictures attributed to Aunt Betty. The other one was the orange Mandarin cake. Apparently, she liked Mandarin oranges. When I first read the recipe I was a little put off by the dressing but I forged on and you know? It tasted…
Bacon Ranch & Pimento Cheese Stuffed Veggies #putsomepiginit
Welcome to Week 2 Day 2 of Bacon Month!! How are you all doing? It’s been lovely weather here for the last couple of days and I have enjoyed it very much. Tomorrow we are back to the mid-90’s so we will be back to sweating again, but Monday and Tuesday were a nice break….
