I don’t often come up with my own recipes and I know coming up with this one isn’t rocket science but it is an original Diana Dow recipe. It can be made in the crock pot or on the stove. It can be frozen so make bunches. A note on freezing — I don’t like … [Read more…]
As with most things, the better prepared I am the smoother it goes. Last school year, I struggled with making a menu every week. I don’t know why I didn’t just go ahead and make a monthly menu. I’ve done it off and on through the years. One problem with a monthly menu is that … [Read more…]
A friend shared this recipe with me several years ago after serving it to my family in her home. It was an instant hit and quickly became a must for our Thanksgiving meal. It can be a bit expensive with the colorful peppers but it is definitely worth it. Everything can mixed ahead of time … [Read more…]

I have a fond memory of this recipe. When I was young we went to visit my Aunt Norma. We arrived at her house after dark. She had fixed us a huge pan (at least to a little kid it looked huge) of Mexican Cornbread. I absolutely loved it. After I married, I was able … [Read more…]
As I was preparing for our Thanksgiving meal, I thought, “You know, I should write this down somewhere.” I make the pretty much the same thing every year. Every year I have to find the recipes and make a to do list. So, I decided to put it all online so I wouldn’t have to … [Read more…]
This is my kids favorite meal. We really enjoy it after Sunday morning worship services. I put it in the oven and voilà! when we get home the meal is done. The smell that hits you at the front door is priceless. 1 roast (shoulder or chuck tastes the best, but any kind is great) … [Read more…]
This recipe was my mother in-law’s, but now it is definitely mine. I never make any other pie crust. This is absolutely delicious, and it is very easy to work with. Mema found this recipe in the local newspaper ( I think Houston's). There is usually leftover crust. That's the best part. What you (and … [Read more…]
This is a family favorite. I remember when I was little, the whole family would get involved making it. One of us would cut the tomatoes, another the lettuce, etc. If you really want, you can eat it with taco shells, but the best way is to put a layer of Tostitos on your plate, … [Read more…]
