Sunday Cinnamon Rolls

Why do I call these Sunday Cinnamon Rolls? Because that is the day we always make them on! We don’t often have a lazy Sunday morning to make these but a couple of times a year we spend the couple of hours to make the dough, roll it out, make the filling, bake the rolls….

Ham and Cheese Hashbrown Casserole

It is not often I use canned cream of anything soups. Then tend to look and smell funny to my children so I usually make my own cream sauce from butter, flour, and cream or half and half. But, we were cleaning the pantry up and I had two cans of cream of potato soup…

Teriyaki Chicken Bowl with Roasted Vegetables

How easy is this dish? Both of my children worked on dinner together and there was almost no arguing! Really! My son made the rice and the sauce while my daughter put the vegetables on to roast and cooked the chicken. While my daughter was serving my son put out water and toppings such as…

How are Your New Year Goals Going? Determination!

So now that we are a three weeks into January how are those goals going? Have you totally abandoned them yet? Now is the time to adjust and make them something you can live with rather than far-reaching unrealistic expectations. Writing your blog every single day? Increasing your presence on social media? Facebook? Twitter? or…

Old Fashioned Snickerdoodles

I am not much of a baker at all. I love Christmas cookies and an occassional cake but it is the rest of my family who will make cookies or pies if they really want a treat. My partner has been wanting to make these cookies for about 20 years now. We never seemed to…

Cheeseburgers on Homemade Pretzel Rolls

Sometimes my family just wants plain old cheese burgers. I understand. They look at me and ask for no baby greens, diced jalapeno, cream sauces, or other weird ingredients on top. So, I made a point of making plain old cheese burgers. Of course I had to put them on pretzel rolls but still… Verdict:…

Million Dollar Spaghetti

This recipe has been all over Pinterest and Facebook for years. I have always resisted trying it or making a twist on it because it is so popular. I am an old-fashioned, easy, home cook. I am not about the popular. Although, I have wanted an Insta Pot to try but we are not quite…

Hot Chicken Salad Sandwich Sliders (on Hawaiian Rolls)

More of these little sandwiches. They are so versatile you can fill them with almost anything you can think of to get tons of different meals or hearty appetizers for a party. These can also be made with cold chicken salad but with the cold weather it seemed much nicer to me to have a…

Food Trends for 2018 – United States

As we move into January I have been researching where professionals see the food trends turning for 2018. Some of the trends are carrying over from 2017 and some are possibly new things we may see. These seem to be the things that most trend followers seem to see for the next year in the…

Soft Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese

We love our appetizers. My family makes a meal of appetizers every once in a while. These are one of our favorite small bites. The pretzels are soft and flavorful. You can make the dough without a bread maker but if you have one why not let it do all the timing and stirring? The…

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

There was a video on Facebook and on Pinterst last year showing pancakes similar to these that looked so simple to make. Now they were perfect little cinnamon roll looking but I haven’t been able to make them like they do. We adapted this recipe for us and it works. They are not beautiful but…
