This Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili was a new recipe for me. See the link for the original recipe. I did change some things, so I’ll show those changes below. I had planned to make the chili in the crock pot as the original recipe does, but didn’t have all the ingredients in time to [...]
I’ve been trying some new recipes and gave Chicken Linguine a try last night. Everyone gave it a thumbs up, so we’ll be having it again. I did make changes to the recipe, though. You can find the original at the link, and I’ll post what I did below. Spaghetti with Chicken and Broccoli (See? [...]
Our church family makes apple butter each fall. The canned apple butter is sold to raise money for mission projects. DH brought home four quart jars, like this one. I decided to recan it in 8-oz. jelly jars. A better size for us. The only issue with recanning is to be sure the apple butter [...]
When I make a pie, I usually have some leftover dough. If the kids don’t gobble it up first, I make cinnamon roses with it. Just for fun. Just because. To make cinnamon roses, roll any leftover dough out as though you were making another pie crust. I found these pictures while browsing my older [...]
I’ve made cookie sheet pie for at least 25 years. I came up with the idea when making pies to take to church dinners. A cookie sheet pie serves more people than two pies will, and it’s easy to transport. And it’s always well received. I use a 13x18x1-inch pan (called a half sheet pan) [...]
Oldest Daughter asked for tacos for supper. I decided to make Homemade Flour Tortillas. They were delicious! I made two modifications to the recipe. First I used Crisco instead of lard. I have never cooked with lard and didn’t want to buy it for the small amount needed in this recipe. Second, I used hot [...]
For years, I’ve used a recipe from the August/September 1998, Taste of Home magazine, called “South Carolina Cobbler.” But it didn’t take long to know the recipe called for too much sugar for our tastes. I’ve revised it over the years until it fits a 9×13 baking dish and uses less sugar. I also added [...]
…It’s jam every other day. So said the White Queen, but we have enough jam for every single day! I made strawberry jam last week, and plan to make more tomorrow. Strawberries are cheap right now. Aren’t they pretty? All it took was a couple of pulses in the food processor and the strawberries were [...]
This is a recipe I used to make a lot. It fell by the wayside for a few years, but we’ve resurrected it this year. It makes wonderful soft rolls, as well as buns that are great for sandwiches. It makes 48 rolls, or three loaves (we rarely make loaves anymore), or 24 rolls and [...]
Making pizza dough is so easy that we have long since given up store-bought, delivery and take-out pizza. Store bought pizza seems so very salty to us, too, so we are glad to give it up for home made. Give this a try. It’s easy and delicious! The recipe can easily be doubled if you’re [...]
