Spiral Honey Ham, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy for Recipe Friday

Since yesterday was Thanksgiving, I thought I’d share recipes for the things I made that I’ve not posted before. We had a couple of repeats this year, including Apple Stuffing and Pecan Pie. But the rest of the meal was made on our Traeger. It...

Thanksgiving – A Poem

Today is Thanksgiving Day! It makes me think about how perfect Thankful Thursday is as a theme day. I’ve been looking back over the poems I’ve written for Thankful Thursday this year, and noticing on my stats page that they are getting hits from web...

My Favorite Cookbook for Recipe Friday

It’s been a really busy week and I haven’t made anything new to post a recipe of. We had Texas Skillet Dinner over the weekend, which I’ve had as leftovers three times. On Monday I made Beef Stew that was leftovers for dinner the next...

Pear Crisp for Recipe Friday

One of my favorite fall desserts is Pear Crisp. We used to have a Bosc pear tree with the best pears and so I would make crisp every year. One year we had over 100 pears from this one tree. Unfortunately, fruit trees don’t last forever...

Easy Beef Pot Pie for Recipe Friday

Fruity Bread Pudding for Recipe Friday

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for Recipe Friday

Fall is officially here, and with the cooler weather I start thinking of soup. And nothing goes better next to a hot bowl of tomato or potato soup than a hot, gooey grilled cheese sandwich. My family loves them. They are super easy to make, but...

Cauliflower and Carrots for Recipe Friday

Okay, so this is a pretty basic recipe but it’s one of my family’s favorites for a vegetable side dish. It’s also really easy to make. I first started combining cauliflower and carrots when my son was young. He loved carrots, but I wanted him...

Hawaiian Burgers and Grilled Potatoes for Recipe Friday

Well, I forgot to take pictures, but we had the yummiest burgers on the Traeger last night. I actually started with pre-made angus burgers from Costco, but you could patty up burgers from fresh hamburger. I’ve actually done that before, and they were good then, too....
