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…

Copycat Taco Bueno Muchaco
I have a confession to make: I would do just about anything for a Taco Bueno Beef Muchaco – seriously, it can be dangerous sometimes when I want one and we are very far from a store. Those thick soft taco shells all supple and tender holding refried beans, taco meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes…
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…
Cheesy Bacon Ranch Squash Casserole #Putsomepiginit
Welcome to the final day of August AND #baconmonth! This recipe is so tasty and good – yet so awful to photograph. There is so much yellow in it and I just cannot make it look any prettier than this. I suppose if I had made it with zucchini instead of yellow crooked-neck squash it…

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 and Fig Bread Pudding
I must confess, my family hates raisins and refuse to eat even one. About five years ago, Lawyer Boy was in Lafayette, LA for a summer internship and we went to visit. We ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant called Prejean’s where we had gumbo, boudin, and bread pudding with rum sauce. Mr. Picky…

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….

Bacon Wrapped Hatch Green Chiles #Baconmonth
August is Bacon month and it is also when Hatch Green Chiles are harvested! These are two of my favorite things to eat and together – whew, it’s a good night of eating at our house when that happens! I developed this recipe especially for my son-in-law who has many of the same likes and…
