It is so hard to get Rocket to eat any vegetables. Our 7 year old boy would really rather vegetables just disappear from the earth. He’s said so. But if there are any vegetables he might be willing to let touch his plate, it’s probably carrots. He’ll argue that he doesn’t mind potatoes, but this…

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
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…
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…

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…
