I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinueContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”

Brunswick Stew- Instant Pot Style
This recipe was Garen’s request for me to make in the Instant Pot so it was the first recipe that required more than 3 ingredients. I was a little leery since I’d never had Brunswick Stew and didn’t even know what to expect. As I always do when cooking something I don’t have a go-toContinueContinue reading “Brunswick Stew- Instant Pot Style”
Sweet Saturday: Salted Carmel Pretzel Brownies
Today I’m gearing up for Nacho Night. More on that in a separate blog. I had some boxes of Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie mix that have been calling to me. Judge me if you must but if you’ve not tried this mix, found at Sam’s Club, you are missing out. They’re super easy and everyContinueContinue reading “Sweet Saturday: Salted Carmel Pretzel Brownies”
Sweet Sunday: Easy Banana Bread
Today I had a few very ripe bananas and decided to make a little tasty treat for the family. My Grammy mailed this recipe to me when I was in college, along with $5 to buy a pound of butter and a loaf pan. Great memories and pretty great recipe too. It seems like we never endContinueContinue reading “Sweet Sunday: Easy Banana Bread”
Repurposing Food: Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
This is another repurposing recipe. When I say recipe, I really mean more like guidelines for making something you need to get rid of look good. See another post for another similar trifle. I had some leftover pound cake in the freezer and wanted to fix something with it and incorporate cheesecake….because who doesn’t likeContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle “
Cilantro Ranch Chicken
This is another one of my thrown-together “using what I’ve got” recipes. I had a Sam’s club size container of sour cream. Usually, I only use sour cream with chicken in casseroles or crockpot dishes, so I was really going out on limb here deciding to grill it. I even broke one of my cardinalContinueContinue reading “Cilantro Ranch Chicken”
Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants
Every Saturday that we are home lunch sneaks up on us and I’ve forgotten to plan anything. When this happens, I often think of the options of food we have leftover to be used or eaten. Imagine me standing in front of the fridge looking at my leftovers. Yesterday the kids were leaving to goContinueContinue reading “Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants “
Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait
Last night I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. And when I say I made strawberry shortcake, I mean Sam’s Club bakery made fresh pound cakes, which I sliced and served with fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, and cool whip. Ok, I know it was lazy but it was still tasty and (best of all) easy. I digress. IContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait”
Cilantro-Lime Fruit Salad
This salad was supposed to be a mojito fruit salad but Kroger was out of mint. Soooo… I decided to try it with cilantro since I had some from the BBQ Pineapple Ham Sauté that I made. I used fruit that was cut up and left over from my mother-in-law’s fabulous retirement party. Ingredients: AboutContinueContinue reading “Cilantro-Lime Fruit Salad”
Repurposing Food: BBQ Pineapple Ham Sauté
Garen’s mom is always great about sending a care package home with us when we visit. This week we got ham. Yum! I looked on Pinterest to try to find recipes of what to do with leftover ham since all of my go-to leftover ham recipes are kind of cold weather food (soups, casseroles,ContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: BBQ Pineapple Ham Sauté “
