Coconut Shrimp
Coconut Shrimp A favorite appetizer/dinner treat simplified. Again, I found a bag of shrimp lurking in my freezer that I’d forgotten about. Yes, I DO forget stuff like shrimp and when I have to dig into my freezer for something else, I’m constantly surprised by buried treasure I find…mostly FORGOTTEN treasure. So rather than do…
Caramel Apple Pie Bars
Caramel Apple Pie Bars Easy as pie. Goes together in minutes. Again was looking through my mother’s old cookbooks. This was a Pillsbury Grand National winner back maybe 50 years ago and was called “Apple Pie ’63.” The original of course, started with a made-from-scratch pie crust, filling and caramel sauce. I wanted to see…
Mama Marie’s Mini Meatloaves
Mama Marie’s Mini Meatloaves My late mother-in-law’s famous “hamburgers.” These are a family favorite! My mother-in-law always called these “hamburgers,” but to me they were like mini meatloaves made on the stovetop. I decided to honor her by calling them by her name–and it’s alliterative too!!! Actually, my friend Lori told me these are an…
Poppy Chicken Florentine
Poppy Chicken Florentine Combines two well-loved chicken casseroles–poppy seed chicken casserole and chicken florentine. This is definitely a marriage made in heaven. I’m mad for the taste of buttered Ritz cracker crumbs and have been since I discovered that broccoli cheese casserole. I discovered the famous poppy seed chicken casserole a couple of years later….
Mexicali Hashbrown Taco Casserole
Mexicali Hash Brown Taco Casserole Meat and potatoes in one dish. A different angle on Shepherd’s Pie.
Tex-Mex Hash Brown Taco Casserole
Mexicali Hash Brown Taco Casserole Meat and potatoes in one dish. A different angle on Shepherd’s Pie. Shepherd’s pie has moved south to Mexico! The base of this casserole is a creamy taco-flavored ground beef mixture. You can leave the taco seasoning out or use other spice blends if you’d like. My recipes are never…
No-Bake Brownies
No-Bake Brownies Is it fudge or a brownie? You taste and decide. My opinion on these is that it’s somewhere in between fudge and a brownie. Creamy like fudge, but less dense. What I like about these is that unlike fudge and some baked brownie recipes, these are not sickeningly sweet, despite the amount of…
Asian Spaghetti & Meatballs
Asian Spaghetti & Meatballs Marco Polo brought spaghetti to the west. We take it back east. This is a simple and filling dinner where meat is the condiment. I’d had a bit of pot sticker filling (link is in the recipe), and wanted to use it, however, I didn’t want to fuss with pot stickers…
Hamburger Stroganoff Casserole
Hamburger Stroganoff Casserole Quick, easy and inexpensive. Tastes like the real deal too. Another golden oldie from the “we have to pinch pennies” days. This, surprisingly enough, tastes pretty authentic! Unlike the real thing, this doesn’t have any noodles involved at all. The gravy is tasty and gets a little help from the condensed soup…
