Like many other families, I’m sure, we made deviled eggs with the leftover Easter eggs this week. When I make deviled eggs, I don’t use a recipe. I just throw ingredients together. But I tried to keep track of what I did this evening, so I could share a recipe. This recipe is for 12 [...]
This evening, because it is “Meatless Monday,” I made Cheesy Baked Shells and Broccoli for supper. It was very good and everyone liked it. Except for our oldest daughter who does not like broccoli. She wouldn’t even taste it. She is good-natured about making her own meal if she doesn’t care for what I prepare, [...]
I tried one granola recipe and it did not turn out well. I ended up feeding it to the birds. They seemed to enjoy it. Thankfully. The second time I made granola, I tried Alton Brown’s recipe, but had to make a couple of changes. His recipe called for cashews. I used walnuts. And I [...]
This is a basic bare-bones tomato sauce that can be used for pasta, pizza, or added to soup if you have leftovers. I put this recipe together when my children were much younger. When the house was full of littles, I needed a fast and easy sauce recipe. I’ve used it for years and continue [...]
Our middle daughter was in “the big city” today and brought home two pounds of nice, large, fresh shrimp. I found this recipe for Barbecue Shrimp and gave it a try. DEEE-li-cious! And very easy and quick to make. Of course, I tweaked the recipe a bit. Following are the ingredients as I used them. [...]

Last weekend, we had the beautiful fluffy snowfall. The girls had a great time playing in the yard. And had fun eating lots of snow, too… There was enough snow on the ground to allow us to make snow ice cream. While the girls warmed up with some hot chocolate, I mixed the ice cream. [...]
I love shortbread and these cookies are no exception. I found the original recipe, Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies, on dianasdesserts.com in 2006 and have been making them ever since, though I use macadamia nuts. Also, I like to add white chocolate, which the original recipe did not call for. Macadamia Nut Shortbread Cookies Ingredients: 1 c. [...]
The recipe for this Pumpkin Streusel Swirled Cream Cheese Pound Cake has been on my Pinterest board “Autumn Goodies” for some time. I made it this week when our daughter-in-law’s mother visited from out of state. It was delicious and a good choice for coffee and chat over a yummy dessert. I’ll let you visit [...]
