Stuffed French Bread

Today I have a  great recipe that is one of my “go-to” recipes for an easy, quick, yummy meal that most all kids like (which is an accomplishment in and of itself!)

I made this for our super bowl party yesterday and I made enough to feed an army!  But what we had left over, got taken home for leftovers!  We had all kinds of finger foods like wings, Con Queso and chips, spinach dip, potato skins, relish plate and yummy PB brownies!

Not great diet food, but yummy party food!

Cherry Cheesecake Cups

It has been a long time since I have posted a recipe, especially a dessert recipe.

As I said yesterday, my husband had been gone and so I did not do any cooking!  It was great for the diet!  I lived on canned soup and scrambled eggs.  I can honestly diet quite well, when I don’t have to cook for anyone else! :)

But he came back and so I decided to celebrate a bit with a dessert in the middle of the week!

I made these  delicious Cherry Cheesecake Cups!

Amazing Almond Peach Cobbler!

It is that time of year again when everyone is baking and making all kinds of goodies in their kitchens.  I, too,  have been making cookies, casseroles, soups and a lot of the good comfort foods that my family loves.  This recipe is a new one that I tried with peach pie filling from Lucky Leaf!   I have to say that it was a hit and that everyone who tried it, loved it!

Feeding An Army

Yesterday for our Sunday dinner I made Stromboli.  This used to be a family favorite when my kids were all at home and we would make this a lot of times on Sunday night.  Now when I make this I have to make enough for an army..well almost! When we get together for Sunday dinner now we are up to 19 or 20 people depending on who is there.  It is fun chaos and the noise decible goes up considerably when everyone is there.  But it is great to see the cousins become good friends to each other!

Halloween Muddy Buddies

The other day I had one of my best little helpers with me and we decided that we would like to make something good to eat!

My little helper was great at measuring and pouring the ingredients into the bowl.  I love to have a little helper in the kitchen, don’t you?

We decided that these Halloween Muddy Buddies would hit the spot, what do you think?  Do you want to make some too?

Mom’s Chicken Corn Chowder

This recipe is from my mom, who was an excellent cook.  She cooked a hot homemade meal for us every night and she always made everything taste so good!  My mom was a great teacher and I thank her for her patience and willingness to let us cook in her kitchen!  (Some days I really miss my mom)  I hope that I followed her example by allowing my kids to feel free  to cook and experiment in my kitchen.  I hope that you will let your kids cook with you and that you can share some fun memories in the kitchen, because that is where we spend so much time together as a family.

This recipe is one of those good comfort foods that I turn to a lot of times.  It is easy to make, yet is a good hearty soup that will fill you up and make you feel oh so good!

Homemade Bottled Spaghetti Sauce!

I think that I am done with all of my canning for this year.  I have done Blackberry Jam, Frozen corn, Spaghetti Sauce, and bottled peaches.

My favorite thing to have on hand is this wonderful spaghetti sauce.  A lot of people bottle tomatoes and then add a dry mix later to make their sauce, but I love the taste of this already made spaghetti sauce with all those wonderful flavors cooked together for hours and blended together!  I use this for spaghetti, of course, but also ravioli, tortellini, lasagna, and it makes a great pizza sauce!

Cashew Chicken Casserole

Here is another good comfort food that is great for when you know you are going to have a busy day, because you make this the night before and put it in the refrigerator!   The next day you simple pop it in the oven and dinner is ready!  I made this last Saturday night, and then on Sunday when all the family came for dinner, all I had to do was cook it!  So easy, yet so so good!  This dish is so full of goodness and flavor.  It has macaroni, chicken, veggies, and a yummy crunchy topping.  I’m pretty sure you are going to want to add this to your list of favorites.
