I haven’t made this one in a while because the kids were never huge fans. But I’m happy to report that they have changed their tune. This is a great lasagna for company – and leftovers can be frozen. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1/2 c. chopped green pepper 1/2 c. chopped onions 3 T. butter 1/3 c.…
Do not let the name of this dish scare you off – even if you aren’t typically a lentil and mushroom lover. My kids licked their plates clean (except for my son who surreptitiously slid bits of tomato to one side). For the record, none of them are fans of mushroom – and there wasn’t…
Another “assemble it then leave it” gem that puts food on the table quickly and easily. The kids like it too. I found this one years ago in the Kraft magazine. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 1/2 c. minute rice, uncooked 1 1/2 c. boiling water 3 c. broccoli florets (the recipe calls for frozen, but I…
This was one of Aunt Pat’s delicious recipes. It’s the perfect winter night’s meal and goes nicely with some oven-baked garlic bread. It also freezes well. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 t. salt (or more) 1/4 t. pepper (or more) dried oregano and basil 1 Lg. onion, chopped 2 boxes of beef broth…
My cousin alerted me to this scrumptious feast which can be found here at Allrecipes. It is the perfect mix of sweetness, tartness with a tiny bit of kick. It’s easy to throw together and then you just let it simmer til dinnertime. I recommend serving this with something to soak up the sauce –…
Took this one straight from the pages of an old milk calendar. What I like about this recipe is there’s a bit of prep involved in putting it together – but you can do it the night before and then just pop into the oven the next day. But I must admit – my kids…
These soft bites of heaven were the perfect way to wrap up our Thanksgiving dinner this year. My friend Tina passed along this recipe along with her own cream cheese icing recipe. I opted to glaze them with a sweeter topping – and have included recipes for both icings below. I have it on good…
Another gem from my friend Sandra. And if you don’t want to take my word on this one being delicious – ask my kids – all three plates were licked clean. Trust me when I tell you this one was quick, easy and in my opinion excellent for company. Definitely serve this one up with…
Found this only a few days ago in the Toronto Star and decided to give it a try. I made a few changes and it was a hit. A couple of the kids complained – but all plates were clean – a definite win! Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 c. beef broth 1 T. soy sauce 2…
I found this one years ago in an edition of Kraft Magazine. It’s a quick and simple one to throw together; nothing fancy – but that’s how we roll. It’s kid-approved as well. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 lb. pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips 1/4 c. Italian dressing 1 medium red pepper, sliced into thin strips…
