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…
Holidays
Southern Baked Beans
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! …
Play With Your Food: Peeps Dioramas
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.
Strawberry Upside-Down Cake
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…
Salami Pinwheels for Any Potluck
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…
Crock Pot Italian Sausage Queso for New Year’s Eve!
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…
Cornstarch Christmas Ornaments
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…
Rotisserie Chicken Waldorf Salad
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…
Fresh Green Bean Casserole
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…
Stuffed Peppers with Sausage and Grits
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…
