Not the prettiest dish in the world but it was really good. Last month we bought a big package of grilling steak, and we portioned it up and froze it. We grilled one of them up, and either the meat was not that great to begin with or it didn’t hold up well to freezing, [...]

Published by September 21st, 2007 in 5 Stars, Entertaining, Gourmet and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsThis basic recipe comes from Gourmet. It is excellent! The roasted veggies melt in your mouth. I added red pepper to the roasted veggie medley, because I had one in my fridge I needed to use up and I thought it would be tasty. Definitely a great dish to bring to a pot luck, picnic, [...]
Apple Coffee Cake
Published by September 21st, 2007 in 5 Stars, Dessert and Family Recipe. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from my Grandma Clark. Not sure if she created it, but if I were to guess, she got it from someone else. My Grandma is a great cook, but she doesn’t usually create her own recipes, she’s got a collection of recipes that puts mine to shame! Anyway, I make this cake [...]

Today’s Macaroni and Cheese-It’s not just for kids
Published by September 16th, 2007 in 3 Stars, Italian, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Pasta, Rick Bayless and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from Rick Bayless’ Salsas that Cook cookbook. This cookbook has 6 core salsa recipes, and each recipe in the cookbook utilizes one of the 6 salsas. I chose to make the Today’s Macaroni and Cheese-It’s not just for kids recipe with the Roasted Poblano-Tomato Salsa. Salsa was good. Mac-n-Cheese was good. Probably [...]
Chicken in Honey Sauce
Published by September 11th, 2007 in 3 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Kid Approved and Poultry. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from the Rival Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Best-Loved Recipes cookbook. It’s good but quite sweet, and would probably benefit from some heat (chipotle peppers or crushed red pepper would be a nice addition) to balance the sweet. We’ll probably make this one again because it was certainly kid approved, which is hard to [...]
Peach Crunch
Published by September 11th, 2007 in 5 Stars, Dessert, Easy Preparation and Entertaining. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from Stephan Pyles’ New Tastes From Texas. The first time I made this dessert was summer of 2002, and it’s become an annual traditional, and since I hadn’t yet made the peach crunch this year, I thought it was time. Recipe calls for peaches, but I’ve used nectarines and blueberries with tasty [...]

This pie recipe is one of my husband’s favorite. The great [...]
Dream Cake
Published by September 5th, 2007 in 5 Stars, Dessert, Easy Preparation and Kid Approved. 0 CommentsWe use Dream Whip when we make Banana Cream Pie, and I happened to notice on the box a cake recipe that uses Dream Whip. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try. Basically, choose your favorite box cake, and instead of adding oil to the mix, you add an extra egg along with the [...]
