We have probably all heard of King Ranch Casserole. At my restaurant, I use to take leftover chicken tortilla soup and turn it into King Ranch for lunch specials. What I never did was turn it into this King Ranch Pasta. The other day I really wanted to come up […]

Chicken Lo Mein
Make a memory, making this Chicken Lo Mein. So the other night, I stayed with my daughter Raychel. She decided that she wanted us to make a lo mein meal. We had a blast putting everything together and getting it on the table. I enjoyed the mother-daughter evening making this […]
Pork Stew
Call me frugal! I love taking leftover food and making a totally different meal. When I make pork loin (they come in two’s) I always have one leftover. Instead of having the same meal the next day, I took it and made this amazing Pork Stew. It was so easy […]
Homemade Chili Recipe
I love my homemade chili recipe. The flavors come together in the perfect blend. You will always hear me say that I never want to taste something and know immediately what a certain flavor is. I want my food to delight not overpower the senses. I think my Homemade Chili […]
1954 Chicken Florentine
I love taking old recipes and revising them for today. For instance, this 1954 Chicken Florentine recipe had a jigger as a measurement. I had to educate myself to edit this one, and I was extremely pleased with the results. The chicken turned out moist, and the sauce was perfect. […]
Creamy Dijon Chicken
Inspired by a Tuscan Chicken recipe, this Creamy Dijon Chicken is one of my favorite recipe creations. The chicken is moist and full of flavor. The sauce has just the right hint of tang. I have always lived by the rule that I want the people that eat my food […]
Easy Lasagna Casserole
Have you ever gotten a call that some company is coming and you just don’t know what to make? This easy lasagna casserole came to my rescue the other night! I adapted it from a 1954 cookbook and love the way it turned out. It is easy to make and […]
Easy Crust Pizza
This Easy Crust Pizza is so much fun to make! I promise that if you were to help your kids make this pizza, you would also be making some great memories. It comes together quickly and the toppings can be whatever you want. I used browned hamburger and mushroom, but […]
Sesame Chicken Recipe
One of the things I want to get better at is cooking Chinese style food. This recipe for Sesame Chicken is one of the first I have come up with, and I must say it is a keeper. I started researching how to make it and, through trial and error, […]
Easy Alfredo Sauce
My daughter pointed out to me the other day that I had not posted the easiest recipe I make. Well, I decided that I need to rectify that as quickly as possible. This Easy Alfredo Sauce is something I made in The Acme all the time, and I also make […]
