Cheesy Ham and Rice Casserole

August 9, 2010

Tonight for dinner I had fully planned on making one of our family favorites, Cashew Chicken. The rice was cooking so I could make up a quick batch of Fried Rice, when it hit me. I think we ran out of Soy Sauce months ago. Who runs out of Soy Sauce and forgets to replace [...]

Chocolate Cherry Pound Cake

July 26, 2010

On a recent trip to my favorite grocery store, Aldi, I found cherries for .98/lb! My daughter absolutely loves cherries, but we rarely buy them because of their price. This was my opportunity to stock up, so I bought 4 pounds worth. Apparently it was a week for good fruit sales, because I ended up [...]

Chocolate Oatmeal Cake

March 24, 2010

A friend of mine has always made an Oatmeal Cake that she has raved, and raved about. She takes it to church and family gatherings, and it always gets eaten up in a flash. For one reason or another, she has never made this cake for me. I see something wrong with this picture. Anyway, [...]

Sweet and Sour Chicken

March 23, 2010

One of our favorite things we used to do was to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant after church on Sundays. We’ve since stopped our “tradition” in exchange for good ol’ home cookin’. Now when we are in the mood for Chinese, I whip it up at home–and boy is it good! I’m able to [...]

Refried Beans Recipe

March 15, 2010

I get many requests for this recipe, so I finally decided to pay attention to the amounts so I could share it. I’ve been making my own refried beans for a while now, and while we have all really enjoyed them, they were still lacking that special kick. My friend Lynn mentioned that she uses [...]
