My son was invited to a “Friendsgiving” this year and he was so excited. He volunteered to bring the mashed potatoes as he was told the host would provide the turkey, Brussels sprouts, and tableware. Super! I love mashed potatoes and they are easy to transport and keep warm in a slow cooker. We made…

1970s Throwback: Con Queso Dip
Back in the 1970s my mother-in-law went to Texas to visit her cousin. While there she had this dip and loved it. There was nothing like it up in her northeast neighborhood so she asked for the recipe (it was on a Velveeta box) and brought it home. Soon it would be everywhere. She loved…
Hot Shrimp Dip
Edit Post Preview(opens in a new tab) Hot Shrimp Dip We are back to watching football on Sundays. I love watching the Buffalo Bills. No, I am not a bandwagon fan but have been a fan going back to the Flutie years. Good and bad the Bills mafia is there for it all. So, we…
Bacon Chicken Bites
Graduation, Senior Car Parade, and Baccalaureate are all this week. We are so close to being done. As much as I don’t want it to all end we are all now ready for this. It seems to drag on for weeks and gets so tiring. We even decided to do our son’s graduation party in…

It is actually been kind of nice having all four of us home again for a bit. It took my mind a few minutes to wrap around the idea of what was happening but now I like it again. With his extra time my son has been writing his college essays. He wrote one last…
Anchor Bar (The Original) Buffalo Wings
Having lived in Western New York for almost 20 years we love our Buffalo wings. The problem is that outside of Western New York few wings live up to our standards. The crispiness, the tang of the sauce, the slight but not overpowering heat is the sign of a good medium wing. Verdict: We love…
Pimento Cheese
Day 19 – I am so over the gray days. I have started taking Vitamin D which I really think has helped improve my mood and my tiredness but these dark gray days are awful. It has been this way over a week now. I want to go outside and be warm. I was shopping…
Italian Sausage and Provolone Bread
This is one of those old-timey recipes that has been around forever. There are many variations on this that change up the meat, cheese, and some even add eggs to make a thicker filling. This is our favorite version. Verdict: This is a great hearty bread that is perfect for a football party or a…
Mexican Sour Cream Dip
In the season of family get togethers and last minute guests having a dip you can pull together in no time can be a life saver. This dip is best if it sits for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator but it can be served as soon as you make it. This would also…
