Keep a Master Cookbook

Every kitchen needs a master cookbook, and that is a project only your family can do!

A master cookbook is, simply put, a collection of your favorite recipes. You could keep recipes in a binder, or a filing crate organized with file folders, or a index card holder, shoe box, folder (to start, you will […]

1c uncooked elbow macaroni 2lb ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1-28 oz. Can of diced tomatoes (or a quart of crushed or diced home canned tomatoes) 1-6oz. Can tomato paste 1-16 oz can […]

Sticky Chicken II

Cubed chicken is baked to crispy perfection (or cooked in a skillet) and coated in a sweet, sticky sauce. Served over rice, this dish is sure to be a family favorite. I like it because there is no sugar in the sauce – its sweetness comes from honey. I will have to get a picture […]

Greek Potatoes

This is a great side to go with greek-inspired chicken. Or anything really. This is another one of those things that I don’t follow a recipe for. I sprinkle seasonings until it looks good.

Begin by preheating your oven to 425F.

Take some potatoes, peel them and cut into wedges. Place them in a […]

Spaghetti Sauce II

When I threw this together I was just looking for something different from my other favorite recipe. It was so good, I can’t wait to make it again. It was thick and delicious. I did make this again without the Italian sausage (it’s not something I often have on hand) and it was still very […]

Gumbo

Gumbo is one of those dishes that seems to have as many varieties as the people who make it. This one recipe has been the only gumbo I’ve ever made. It can be made fairly quickly, or simmered all day. Served over rice, it’s a complete meal. It freezes great. I often […]

Sweet or White Potatoes in the Crockpot

While sweet potatoes aren’t often something that take *forever* to cook, sometimes it’s nice to cook them without having to think about it, take up space on the stove, heat your kitchen, or have them ready for an early breakfast. We love mashed sweet potato for breakfast. It’s filling, warm and nutritious! This method words […]
