Lemon Garlic Chicken and Roasted Potatoes

Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes Ingredients: 1/4 c. olive oil 3 TBSP garlic, minced 1/3 [...]

Grandma’s Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Oh man do these meatballs remind me of dinners at Grandma Clark’s!  Good memories!!  I call these meatballs sweet and sour, because that’s what it reminds me of.  I’ve adapted the sauce recipe a bit more to my liking as I like a sauce with bold flavors. You can serve these meatballs over rice or [...]

Quick Corned Beef Hash

The country club in the town where I grew up served an awesome brunch.  Every time I went there I would get corned beef hash.  The corned beef hash was not that minced mush looking stuff you get at some restaurants or out of a can.  They used big roasted potatoes, fresh corned beef, and [...]

Latkes/Potato Pancakes

Delicious! So what’s the difference [...]

Cranberry Jello Salad

Jello salads and molded jello salads were all the rage in the 70′s and they still are for my family in the Pacific Northwest.  Most jello salads I don’t particularly care for, but I eat enough to be polite.  There is one exception.  My Great Aunt Arlene makes this wonderful raw cranberry jello salad every [...]
