  This no bake, no nonsense dessert is going to knock your family’s socks off.   Peanut butter and chocolate—holy smokes!!  Crunchy, sweet, salty—this bar has it all.  Use whatever kind of chocolate you have on hand for the topping.  The first time I made this I didn’t have milk chocolate chips, but I did have chocolate kisses so I used […]

  Whenever you have a few bananas that are going bad, you can put them in the freezer (the skins will turn black but the inside is fine) or make this delicious family favorite.  My mom made this recipe many times, and so my sisters and I make it as well.  Leave the nuts out if desired.  Great spread with […]

  My very first job at the age of sixteen was working at the Red Barn Restaurant in Elyria, Ohio.  Starting on French fries and working my way up to morning shift manager, I loved to open the building at 6:00 a.m. and work all by myself in the peace and quiet.  I could really get a lot done by […]

  This is my all-time favorite casserole!  Ham is my favorite meat, and I love anything with pasta.  It is creamy, cheesy goodness in every bite thanks to the sour cream and cream of chicken soup.  The crunchiness comes from the French fried onions mixed in and sprinkled on top.  I’m telling you this is one delicious casserole!   2 […]

  This recipe comes from my sister, Linda.  It has become my traditional Christmas morning treat for my family.  Before going to bed on Christmas Eve I throw this together and let it sit on top of the stove.  In the morning it has risen so much that it almost is overflowing in the pan.  The warm cinnamon scent fills […]

  These bars are double fruity with a wonderful buttery shortbread crust.  If you don´t have peach or strawberry, use whatever flavors your family likes best.  But beware–they will definitely disappear fast.  I have never been able to keep them on hand for more than two days!   2 cups flour ½ cup sugar 1 cup butter 1 cup peach […]

            My husband and sons order cheeseburger soup whenever they see it on a menu.  I figured I could make it at home and it would be creamier and cheaper than the restaurant variety.  This soup is super cheesy and thick.  You can add more milk (1/2 cup at a time) to thin it down a bit. This is […]

  This is a German tradition, but you don’t need to be German to enjoy this dish!  Full of potato, onion, and bacon goodness, this hot salad is sweet and sour at the same time.  You will need to fry the bacon in a regular pan as the bacon grease is a key ingredient here.  It makes a wonderful side […]

  This is the fastest bar-b-que you will ever make!  Put everything in the pot and turn it on. It is perfect for a day when you have to run errands or go garage sale hunting. Serve this over cornbread for an extra special dish that your family will love.   2 lbs. boneless pork, cubed ¾ cup chopped onion […]

Nothing goes together better than peanut butter and chocolate. It’s just one of those combinations that is irresistible. I had some cream cheese that I wanted to use up in my frig and a box of do-si-dos Girl Scout cookies that I thought would make the perfect peanut buttery crust.  You see, my husband LOVES do-si-dos, so I was going […]
