  This chicken is very mild, flavorful and sweet.  You can always spice it up if you wish by adding in some red pepper flakes or chilies if you have them.  Great to throw in your crock pot at lunchtime and have an easy dinner by 5:00.  Chop some veggies for tacos and you’re all set. You can also serve […]

  I really love this crunchy salad.  It is chock full of things that are healthy—what could be better for you than broccoli and fruit.  To add extra crunch I sometimes add ½ cup of cashews or pecans if I have them.  Since you make your own dressing with ingredients you probably already have in your cupboards, it is a […]

  If you like coconut, you are going to love this toast.  Once the toping gets brown, the sugar converts everything to a lovely nutty and slightly crunchy sweet bread that is great for a breakfast treat or for your next party as an appetizer.  I use English muffin bread to make mine.  Regular bread is sometimes too soft and […]

  I love potato chips.  If I know they are in my house it literally drives me crazy until I finish off the whole bag.  I guess I am a crunchy-salty lover.  I kept thinking: how could I incorporate chips into cookie form? This recipe is the result of a few trials to see what tasted best and how I […]

  I love mac and cheese, with a capital “L”.  I can literally eat it until my stomach hurts.  There is something so down-home comforting about it. I know it’s not especially healthy but sometimes you just gotta have it, right? For years I tried to come up with a really good, creamy crock pot recipe, and this is the […]

  Just like chicken paprikash, only with stuffing!  No fancy ingredients here—a pretty basic chicken dish, but with a garlicky, creamy sauce that can be spooned over mashed potatoes for a complete meal.  If you have some chicken and a box of stuffing mix in your pantry, you are good to go.   1 pkg. Stove Top Stuffing for chicken […]

   I have made this favorite pie of my husband Jeff many times, too many pies to count.  My dad had a beautiful berry patch.  Some years we picked over 100 quarts from just a few rows.  Dad worked on his hands and knees to make sure there were no weeds, in his garden or his lawn. Our family agrees: […]

   What an easy soup to make!  Using a supermarket rotisserie chicken and packaged tortellini (dry or frozen) is so fast it will be one of your go-to meals.  There is something so comforting and warming about a hot bowl of chicken soup.  The tortellini is a great twist—this is not your average chicken noodle soup. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on […]

  This dish is a Schroeder family staple.  We have this at almost every family gathering—holidays, cookouts, and birthdays.  Easy to make since you just mix everything together and put in oven.  It is not overly spicy but has a little kick from the sauerkraut and cayenne.   2-28oz. cans pork and beans, drained 1 pkg. kielbasa or smoked sausage, […]

  These sweet glazed sliders are soooooo good!  My son, Steven, requests them quite often.  Easy and quick to throw together, they are like sloppy joes, only much, much better.  Use whatever kind of cheese your family likes or whatever you have on hand.  I have tried cheddar, mozzarella, provolone–all to great tasting results.  I usually lightly toast both sides […]
