I am back among the living and the flu seems to be gone, at least I hope so – 10 days is enough. This morning I wanted to make a nice southern comfort food that was sweet and reminded me of spring because these dark dreary days are getting on my last nerve. Sock…
Thanksgiving
Ham and Scalloped Potatoes
This post is the recipe for one of the tastiest dishes ever: Ham and Scalloped Potatoes which is perfect for any leftover ham. My family absolutely covets this meal, even my mother, which is simple and not in the least bit spicy. The combination of ham bits and fresh potatoes with cheese is irresistible making…
Kelli’s Family Thanksgiving Recipes
All bloggers seem to have a Thanksgiving Round-Up where they list all kinds of recipes from all over the blogging world – many of them fantastic recipes – but mine is different. My Round-Up is just that: my family recipes that I have shared with you here throughout the years and are now accessible in…

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…

A Sweet Potato Pie That Meets All Your Holiday Needs
That’s right! Old Fashioned, diabetic, lactose intolerant, gluten free and finally Uh-Oh-I-Totally-Forgot-To-Make-It sweet potato pies. With my mother’s side of the family so large, there were many different dietary needs during family gatherings and because of that, Nana made sweet potato pie many different ways in various years. While the recipe card is written in…
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cobbler
Before we get started, I want to show you what Mr. Picky Eater and I have made for Rocket – he loves that little Cozy Coupe so much he hardly wants to get out to come into the house. The little Schooner on back was an afterthought that turned out perfectly! If you…
Nana’s Candied Sweet Potatoes
Right now, I’m in heaven. I have been eating that plateful of wonderful candied sweet potatoes with that sugary buttery ambrosia from the bottom of the pan drizzled all over it! It is complete bliss and no, it is not healthy – but it is a holiday dish so let’s just call it a…
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…
