Family is visiting and the Mexicali Casserole was requested for dinner. The Mexican spices are not too hot for the kids and the flavor is amazing. So rich! It’s one of our family favorites! If you are into cheese, egg noodles, and Mexican spices you are going to love this too!
Throw out the boxed instant hamburger meal and try this!
This recipe is a keeper. Not only are these cookies buttery and chewy they have a surprise crunch from the nuts and cereal flakes. A Great Sweet Treat! This is another one of those recipes I inherited years ago from someone who liked to bake herself happy. We know you will be happy with these cookies too. Yummy ingredients. Take a look.
This soup is a great option for lunch during these cold days. It is thick with vegetables and can second as a side dish instead. I use frozen peas. The nutritional value is similar to fresh picked, and it is convenient.
The ingredients for this soup might already be in your panty. Let’s see!
Rizzo inspired. Hearing the story more than once about a Connecticut family’s love for Sunday Sausage, Peppers and Onions inspired me to put this dish together. Only the three main ingredients were mentioned. So, the rest was up to me.
Guys like to throw this together, too. And of course, eat it! Fast, Easy, Tasty … Rizzo Inspired Sunday Sausage, Peppers and Onions. You’ll love it! But maybe not every Sunday!
Portuguese Sopas is a traditional soup from the Azores. It is made each year for a celebration occurring about two months following Easter. For seven years my brother, Dan, helped with the preparation of this sopa do Espirito Santo for our hometown celebration.
We enjoy eating this soup, his recipe here with my tiny variation, throughout the year especially in the colder months. To us it’s a comfort food. Yep, some of the guys in our family can eat this morning, noon and night … loving every spoonful. Dan’s son Stephen admits!
All ingredients with the exception of the cabbage, bread and mint have been added. My Grandmother would say, don’t be afraid of spices! Now for the long cooking to meld the flavors.
Lasagna American Style? Mainly for the versatility. The pasta is a no boil, the sauce comes from a jar (Use homemade if you have it!) and the cheeses are not all Italian. It is a recipe for the busy family … Quick, easy, delicious and versatile.
What do you do when your family would like a slice of homemade German Chocolate Cake but you don’t have the time to put this cake together not to mention the expense. You make these German Chocolate Cake Cookies!
Do use German Chocolate which is not from Germany but is Mr. German’s creation for the Baker’s Company. It is a sweeter semi-sweet chocolate. Deliciously so! But these German Chocolate Cake Cookies are not too sweet. Just right!
And while we are waiting for the spaghetti and meatballs to cook let’s have a stuffed mushroom made with some of the meatball mixture; and wine, red to go with what we put into the sauce. Cin Cin!
The spaghetti and meatballs (and the stuffed mushrooms) are ready and it’s time to put on the Godfather. Clemenza will be giving Michael instructions about making a good sauce. Here is my version of Clemenza’s spaghetti and meatballs … an easy sauce with meatballs and sausage.
When I first met my future Daughter-In-Law Ann she found her way to my kitchen as all family does. Besides all the other wonderful things about Ann she is comfortable in the kitchen and a very good cook. She whipped up this salsa for our family during that first visit. It was a hit! So when I received requests for a fresh salsa I immediately thought of this one. It’s great to serve alone or over just about everything.
Chile relleno is an anytime meal. This is light and fluffy. Simply delectable! Use your favorite salsa for the topping or go it alone. Serve with a slice of avocado, or rice and beans for the hearty eaters.
