I love to cook and bake for my family. I'm learning more and more about nutrition and implementing it into our diets.
So I had a serious craving for my dad’s potato soup the other day. I’ve never made this soup myself, never served it to the family, and haven’t had it in years but I had a fairly good idea of how my dad made it. So I kind of had to guesstimate it, replace the [...]
Super Yum! I ♡ soup! This was just something I threw together yesterday for the fridge. (quick meals) 1 large onion, chopped 4-6 cloves of garlic sliced 3 large carrots, chopped (I like them cut into thin half moon shapes) 3-4 celery stalks, chopped (I had the centers, so it was probably a little more) [...]
How fabulously yummy does that look? I’m the world’s biggest fan of soup. I was reading about a tortilla soup on Southern Plate and it got me thinking of a soup recipe that we kind of made up at our house that most adults have a huge preference for. We called it enchilada soup because we [...]
How beautiful is this?! It was so lovely and wonderful. My best friend is the queen of interior decor! Fall and Halloween being her favorite season and holiday of the year. She also loves candles so she loved the idea of PartyLite candles. I personally like the idea of hosting the parties because A) I [...]

I remember being super excited when my Father in law was willing to tell me how to make this recipe. Though I can’t honestly say that mine tastes as good as his, I do strive to get it as close as humanly possible. My husband’s father was Native American and the recipe is from his [...]
So my best friend’s family has had to switch to a gluten free diet for health reasons. Gluten free meals planned on my calendar are for the nights I am expecting her and her children to come over for dinner. Monday Chicken and Veggie Pasta Tuesday Gluten free dinner: BBQ Lentils and Rice, mandarine [...]
French Bread (Betty Crocker picture cookbook 1950) printable 1 c luke warm water 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 cake compressed yeast (I believe a cake of yeast was the equivalent of a packet of dry yeast, so that’s what I used.) 1 tbsp soft shortening 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups sifted flour When dough is [...]
It took me years now but I’ve finally made a goulash that tastes like my grandmother’s. I’ve been trying for so long because my grammy can’t make it herself anymore. With the neuropathy in her hands and feet and the diabetes changing her diet, her recipes are but memories of comfort foods long ago…. Grammy [...]
