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…

Game Day Roasted Corn Nachos
My wife had her second knee surgery on Wednesday so we are spending this week laying low. That means I get to watch all kinds of football games this week. I love to make nachos for the game because they are so easy to make and you can add just what you like to them….
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…
How to Build a Charcuterie Board
Day 14 of our Covid-19 Adventure has been okay. I think the further we go into this the easier it is getting. I guess it really is becoming “normal” which is a bit scary to me. Before we did a full not going out for us we did a small shop to pick up a…
Sloppy Joe Sliders
Simple meals that don’t take a lot of time and are generally things I keep on hand are what I strive to make each day. I don’t know about your family but mine love the Hawaiian sliders. You can either use the Hawaiian dinner rolls which are a bit larger or the little slider rolls…
Mini Greek Pizzas: Revisited
These have been a favorite of our family forever. I first had them at my sister-in-law’s house on New Year’s Eve 1996. I fell in love with them then and we made them for several years for many parties until the recipe got set aside for new items. I originally posted about them in Mini…
Football Party Foods
Football is coming to an end soon. Many will be celebrating with Super Bowl parties. I pulled together a few of our favorite party dishes that may be a bit different from ordinary football food. Starting with a salad bar. Think about all the heavy food that is normally served at a Super Bowl party….
Velveeta Queso Dip
This is a recipe that has been around for a long time. This is the recipe my mother-in-law used in the 60s-70s. She had been to visit her cousin in Texas and had “Tex-Mex” for the first time. She brought this recipe back to New York with her and it was a hit. We had…
Buffalo Chicken Nachos
This past weekend I made a large slow cooker batch of Buffalo Chicken (chicken breasts, hot sauce, butter, and garlic). I used 4-5 pounds of chicken breast so that I could make several meals out of one big pot of Buffalo Chicken. One simple meal was Buffalo Chicken over egg noodles with a sprinkle of…
Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs
So these are not “authentic” Swedish meatballs. But rather our simple version of them. These are amazing with homemade meatballs but sometimes you go with simple. Can’t find lingonberry jam to put on the side? You can use cranberry sauce or raspberry jam in a pinch. Verdict: We made this as an alternative to the…
Baked Chili Cheese Dogs
I had a meeting last night so I needed a meal that could be put together quickly and easily once I got home. Once again I looked to my slow cooker. Most of the meal could be made ahead of time and just assembled when I got home or it was so easy I could…
