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 to make and tasted amazing […]
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 Recipe fits that bill perfectly. […]
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. I served this over some […]
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 to find the perfect blend […]
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 takes the place of something […]
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 your imagination is the limit. […]
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, figured out what I liked […]
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 it at home probably once […]
Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

First attempt at some Chicken and Sausage Gumbo! One of the things that I love about living in a small town is that your neighbors tend to care about you. My in-laws have a nice lady who lives next door to them, always hanging bags of fresh from the garden veggies on their mailbox. The […]
Easy Beef and Potato One-Pot Dish

School nights call for easy meals! This Easy Beef and Potato One-Pot Dish has to be one of the quickest things you can make to satisfy your family on a packed weeknight. I love the way it just uses one pot, so clean up is easy too. I serve this with some Tostado chips, shredded […]
