This weekend was my weekend to play "personal chef" for my mom. :) She's down to three treatments left! I do enjoy our time together, but it will be nice in the near future when our visits are simply for the purpose of a visit. :) I made a breakfast treat for us this weekend that ...
This is a wonderfully decadent coffee cake. It melts in your mouth and makes you want more. It's definitely a recipe to make for special occasions, though, as it is loaded with butter and sugar (no wonder it tastes so good!). I made it for my mom and me for a breakfast treat today, ...
This past week was a tough one for me. I had a TERRIBLE cold and ended up missing the whole week of school, and on top of that, my hubby was in California all week for work. It's never fun to be stuck home alone when you're sick. Luckily, my terrific teenager was here to help me ...
I'm not one of the cooks that believes everything should be made from scratch. Sometimes convenience foods can really help you out. One of my favorite quickie desserts involves using a boxed brownie mix. These yummy brownies are always a favorite when I serve them. I got the recipe ...
Very tasty soup that is also very healthy! Makes about 10 cups of soup. Ingredients: 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 onion sliced very thin 1 cup barley (I used quick cooking because that's what I had on hand) 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/2 t dried marjoram 16 ...
Here is a fun twist on traditional pancakes and sausage. Even my 17-year-old thought they were fun! These would be great for days when you need a portable breakfast. Ingredients: 1/2 pound Honeysuckle White Turkey Breakfast sausage 1 egg 1 T sugar 1 t vanilla 2 cups Bisquick ...
I have another recipe for oven fried chicken that uses Bisquick for the coating, and does not use butter. This one uses butter in the bottom of the pan, which raises the calories, but makes it very flavorful. Ingredients: 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/2 cup milk 2 T ...
This was the most tender pork tenderloin I've ever made. It was simply amazing. Ingredients: 1 boneless whole pork loin roast (4 pounds) or pork tenderloin 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup honey 3 Tbsp soy sauce 2 Tbsp dried basil 2 Tbsp minced garlic 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1/4 ...
Well, I knew I wouldn't make it the whole school year without catching a cold. It finally got me this weekend. I'm feeling pretty yucky right now, so I'm just going to get right to the menu. Be sure to check out the recipe I posted for Potato Flake Sourdough Bread. It's wonderful! ...
This was my weekend to take care of my mom. While I'm there, I always try to make something to eat that will leave her with leftovers she can eat throughout the coming week when she doesn't feel like cooking. This weekend I made a very hearty soup that was a hit with mom and the ...
Funerals can be sad occasions, but a lot of good comes from them as well. You get to see lots of family and friends that you haven't seen in a long time, you get to share the wonderful memories you have of the deceased person, and you get lots of wonderful food brought to you by ...
What a crazy start to the new year in southwest Missouri! You would think it was spring instead of winter! We had a week of wonderfully warm temperatures this week, which is very unusual for this time of year. Usually we have ice and snow. But, I'm definitely not complaining. The ...
Welcome to 2012! It's hard to believe that I'm starting my fifth year of blogging my meal plans. :) I love how my blog holds me accountable for making my meal plan each week. I've always been a meal planner, but since I've starting blogging, I don't let myself off the hook like ...
