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…

Honey Glazed Carrots with Cherries #BloggerCLUE
I am very excited tell you about a new project I was invited to participate in called the Blogger C.L.U.E. Society. The CLUE stands for: Cook, Learn, Undertake, and Eat. I will be participating once per month with 17 other bloggers as we discover each other, our blogs, and undertaking each other’s recipes. That will…
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…
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
These mushrooms are so easy to throw together and quickly gone – they have all the good stuff stuffed inside like cream cheese, crab, and green onions. I know they will be perfect for several holiday parties that I am attending and you can easily make them as well. Before we get to the recipe,…
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…
Prune Cake with Caramel Coffee Glaze
My Aunt Irene made this cake every year during the fall and for holiday gatherings. It was years before I knew it was called prune cake. Good call on my mother’s part because there is no way a bite would have crossed my lips otherwise. Prune cake?!?! YUK! Who wants prunes? This cake is so…

I read there are about 2,500 dozen kolaches baked for the festival. The entire weekend is spent celebrating the Czech heritage by…
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…
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…
