Recipes that are simply delicious!
When you own a restaurant, you do daily specials. That is just what you do. Once a week, at my restaurant, we made Mexican food, and every time we made it, I would make a large container of this Spanish rice recipe. Recently, I was asked to bring something to […]
The other day my sister-in-law delivered some pears to me from her pear tree. They are canning pears and I really didn’t want to take the time to can them, so I decided to make some muffins out of them. I came up with this Banana Pear and Pecan Muffin […]
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. […]

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 […]
Light and airy, this Chocolate Delight was a popular recipe during the hot summer months at my restaurant. Now that we are hitting 100 plus degrees here in Texas for weeks on end, I am reaching for this light and cool dessert yet again. This Chocolate Delight probably got its […]
Are you ready for a salad that will bring back memories of grandma? Here is another of my favorite “dinner on the ground” selections. This Watergate Salad is made with marshmallows and pineapple, always served cold, and when my mom wasn’t looking, took up half of my plate. Grad a […]
