Tuna Salad for the Ladies’ Luncheon
Nothing says Ladies' Luncheon like finger sandwiches, ice tea and rich desserts. Last week, I signed up to make tuna salad sandwiches for my Community Bible Study class. I love a GOOD tuna salad sandwich. No other sandwich is more filling.
Now, a really good tuna salad sandwich must be made to be sweet and salty [...]
Whole Wheat Pancakes My Kids Love!
This is the healthiest pancake recipe that my kids REALLY love to eat. Believe me, I have tried other "your kids are gonna love these healthy pancakes" recipes. They didn't. They knew right away there was something not right and they weren't going to bite!
Now, I will admit that this recipe has literally evolved over [...]
Spinach Salad that Stands Out at Parties
The first time I read this recipe, I wasn't so sure about it. I knew if I served it up to a group of women, it would go over just fine. However, this would be to my couples Sunday night life group. This was a group that had burly men and picky eaters all mixed [...]
Quick Italian Cream Cake
Growing up, my Memaw made German chocolate cake for my birthday. It has ALWAYS been what I love to eat for my birthday. Until the day came when I had given birth to my first child, my Aunt Deb came to stay with us to help out. She made an Italian Cream Cake. Move over [...]
Aunt Deb’s Layered Salad
My Aunt's layered salad YUMMY! Our family eats it every time we have Italian meals. It's great to make for pot luck gatherings and can easily be made ahead. In fact, this layered salad tastes better when made one day ahead of eating it.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED
1 head of Iceberg lettuce
10 [...]
Saturday Night Lasagna & Sunday’s Lunch
Again, I'm sorry there's not a photo of this DELICIOUS recipe. Good food and hungry families don't wait for photo shoots.
Let me begin by saying that my daughter is not a tomato sauce fan. I usually prepare something different for her when we have Italian food night. Yes, I know there are white sauces, [...]
Ground Beef Cooked Ahead
You will see me refer to this recipe, very often. When I know I have a busy week coming up, I cook ahead.

Chicken Dinner Tonight
Music is a great kitchen tool when dancing from the sink to the chopping block, to the stove. Tonight, I listened to my favorite Jazz radio station while I prepared dinner. I love Jazz, I can listen to it and not listen to it all day long.
I highly suggest playing music that suits [...]
Quick Barbecue Chicken Dinner
I’ll admit it! I was not in the mood to cook tonight, but I was in the mood for barbecue chicken. How was I going to get a full meal done with very little effort? I did not want to turn on the oven, even though cooking the chicken would have been a easy [...]
Sloppy Chicken Enchiladas
Today has been crazy! The kids and I have been driving all over East Texas taking care of our candy machine route. Did I ever tell you that I had a candy machine route? Well, I do. It's fun, but that's another blog. As soon as we arrived home at 4:05pm, I remembered Max had karate [...]
Kitchen Clean Up Tools
Due to karate class, gymnastics class, and a back to home school party all in one evening, I didn’t cook last night. I declared, “You’re On Your Own” night. It worked out fine, we had delicious leftover black bean enchiladas and Monday night meatloaf to chow on. Therefore, I don’t have [...]
