  Cabbage and noodles has been around for quite a while.  I have tried it many times made by many people.  This is the best recipe I know.  It has great flavor, primarily coming from the bacon ( not everyone puts bacon in their noodles but I think it adds a meaty flavor that is unmistakable!).  Before frying the bacon, […]

  This is one summertime bread that my mom made frequently when there was an abundance of zucchini from the garden.  We enjoyed the spicy and nutty flavor served with dinner or as a snack in the evening.  Many loaves were frozen in August to be brought out in January when you needed a little something-something on those dark and […]

  Lemonhead Chicken??  OMG—what is that all about?  Well, I was looking to make some lemony sauce to go over chicken and I thought:  what can I use to make it both sweet and tart at the same time.  Looking around my kitchen I had nothing, until I spotted some Lemonheads candy in a drawer.  Inspiration!!  Give it a try.  […]

  The first time I made this cake, my son Steven said, ¨OMG Mom.  This is great!¨.  Made with the glaze that you buy in a tub in the produce department of the grocery store, it is one delicious, moist pound cake.  Two hints:  make sure it is completely baked through in the middle of the Bundt or tube pan.  […]

  This recipe came from my mother-in-law, Ruth Kerchmar, who served many Slovak dishes.  She was a great baker of nut and apricot rolls, also made the best lemon meringue pie.  When she made halusky, she added a small container of cottage cheese, butter, a pound of fried bacon, and browned it all together in a hot skillet.  She always […]

  BBQ and pork just seem to go together—like peanut butter and jelly.  This sweet yet savory dish comes together fast for a quick weeknight meal.  Purchase bone-in chops for this dish as it will help with having moist and juicy deliciousness. If you don’t have the orange juice you can leave it out but it does add a citrusy […]

  This is a thick and flavorful soup.  If you have a ham bone, boil it along with the beans and onion for 20 minutes for the best pork flavor you have ever had.  No fancy ingredients here.  The brown sugar and ketchup make a quick tomato base, but adding the vinegar adds a sweet and sour taste that will […]

  When my sons were little, we enjoyed making our own pizzas.  They were personalized with the toppings of your choice including pepperoni, lots of cheese, and believe it or not, chicken and potato (sounds strange but using alfredo or garlic sauce instead of marinara, trust me, it is one yummy pie!!). Top it with whatever you have on hand […]

  These dessert squares are super moist, and I guarantee they will be the easiest and tastiest fruit squares you will ever make.  Mix everything together in one big bowl and viola, you are done.  The frosting can be used for all sorts of cakes, bars, cupcakes, cookies—whatever needs a touch of cream cheese sweetness.  Perfect for a cookout or […]

  Tacos and mac and cheese—what’s not to love!  This is my sons’ all-time favorite and most requested recipe.  Both boys asked for it when they had all four wisdom teeth removed.  This dish also won first place in a parent bake-off at Mount Union University for the student dining hall. Your family is gonna love this dish!   1 […]
