Potato Latkes are delicious, and for whatever reason, I’ve always had a hard time making them turn out “right.” By “right” I mean just like Grandma Boden used to make. I found a recipe, and before I even tasted one, when I went out into the garage and then walked back into the house I […]

Potato Latkes
Published by December 28th, 2008 in 5 Stars, Kid Approved, Entertaining and Sides. 0 CommentsTex-Mex Chili Mac
Published by December 28th, 2008 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Poultry, Beef, Soups and Chilis, One Pot, 4 Stars, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation, Pasta and Spice Mixture. 1 CommentWe like chili mac. What’s not to like? Chili with pasta and cheese. This is by far our favorite version, which comes from the Tex-Mex Cookbook. The taco seasoning mix is delicious and would be great for straight up taco meat…beef or chicken…or any recipe that calls for a taco seasoning packet.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef […]
Meat Lasagna
Published by December 28th, 2008 in Italian, Poultry, 4 Stars, Paula Deen, Kid Approved and Pasta. 1 CommentWe are a meatless lasagna kind of household, but I saw a meat lasagna recipe on Paula Deen’s show, and it sounded and looked really good. It was quite tasty and made an enormous amount, so we divided the leftovers and froze them for future yummy dinners. From start to finish it does take nearly […]

Quick Pasta Skillet
Published by December 12th, 2008 in Poultry, Beef, One Pot, 4 Stars, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation and Pasta. 0 CommentsAdmittedly not the prettiest dish out there, but it tastes so good. This recipe is from my Great Aunt Arlene Clark, and it reminds me of my youth. It’s hearty, filling and tasty. It’s kind of like a skillet casserole or a homemade hamburger helper.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 large (1 lb 13 oz) […]
Coconut Curry Soup
Published by December 9th, 2008 in Vegetarian, Soups and Chilis, Quick and Easy, 5 Stars, Cooking Light, Entertaining, Easy Preparation and Leftover chicken or Turkey. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light. The soup is delicious!!! I substituted tofu for the chicken, but I think any protein would be really tasty. Don’t be scared by the list of ingredients, because it comes together really quickly. We will definitely make this one again.
Ingredients:
4 c. […]
Oatmeal Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies
Published by December 9th, 2008 in Dessert, 4 Stars, Cooking Light, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation, Chocolate and Cookies. 0 CommentsThese cookies were really good, although I thought the toffee kind of got lost in the cookie, so maybe add more toffee bits than the original recipe calls for. This recipe is adapted from the oatmeal toffee cookies found in the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light.
Ingredients:
3.4 ounces all-purpose flour (about 3/4 […]
