Creamy Potato Soup

This is the BEST POTATO SOUP I have ever made.  Traditionally, I use bacon and the drippings in the recipe, but this time I left it out. 
I made this soup because both my kiddos are under the weather.  Something creamy, warm, and simple, full of nutrition but not heavy on the tummy was just what [...]

Texas Chicken Chili

I haven’t made this recipe in a very long while.  Honestly, I forgot all about it.  I found the original recipe, Arizona Chicken Chili, off the back of a can of corn, many, many years ago.  But seeing how I don’t live in Arizona, I live in Texas.  I’m calling my version, Texas Chicken Chili.
HERE’S [...]

Sloppy Joes

The kiddos love this quick, delicious Sloppy Joes recipe.  I’m cooking them tonight to get away from the Thanksgiving leftovers.
Do you happen to have more desserts leftover than other foods?  Our fridge runneth over with sweets.  Last night, I had the hardest time deciding which pie I would eat again.  So I compromised, I sliced [...]

Simple and Delicious Pumpkin Cookies

Every Thanksgiving holiday, it’s my responsibility to bake the pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes. I have never dared to alter these traditional dishes. Certain flavors run too deep in our memories, to change them would only upset the harmony. Not to mention, my family would totally rag on me for ‘fixin’ somethin’ [...]

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

My family has been under the weather this past week.  You know, it’s one thing for me to feel yucky, it’s a real bummer to see my kids and husband feeling low.  I wanted to make them feel better, give them something soothing, warm, creamy and full of goodness.  So, I made chicken noodle soup!
I [...]

German Chocolate Pie Recipe

Well, I’m pretty close here.  This recipe and my memory match up!  However, I think I need more practice.  Memaw’s pie was thicker in texture; thicker like a pudding.  The deep chocolate flavor, the ratio of pecans and coconut are spot on!
However, I don’t make pies enough to know how to tweek this right away.  [...]

Traditional Roast Dinner

I love my crock pot or slow cooker, as some say.  It is the perfect plan ahead meal tool anyone could use in the kitchen.  So long as, I plan ahead in time.
I’m always torn as to how long I should actually cook my roast beast, 4-6 hours or 8-10 hours.  When I loose [...]

Mom’s Munchables

I’ve stopped my kids from begging me for Lunchables packs!
I know it has to be the bright colors and exciting images that draws kids to ask for these over priced, visually unappetizing food items at the grocery store.  The only real taste they have is in the juice drink and the candy bar.  Max [...]

Friday Night Pizza

Just about every weekend, we eat pizza. To keep the meal fresh and fun, I mix up the toppings from week to week. Pizza out is okay every once and a while, pizza at home is the best! I buy the ready made crispy crusts. We like Mama Mary’s Pizza Crusts [...]

German Chocolate Pie

Growing up, my Memaw always made two pies for the holidays: Pecan Pie and some kind of chocolate pie with nuts and coconut blended together.  The chocolate pie was my favorite!  When she passed away nine years ago, she took the recipe with her.  No one in our family has it or knows what it [...]
