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....

Lemon Coconut Cake for Recipe Friday

This cake recipe is not an original, but it is special at our house. It comes from the essential baking cookbook by Murdoch Books, and it has become my son’s signature cake. He has made it at least 5 times, most recently for our anniversary....

Wanted: Bread Pudding for Recipe Friday

Last night we went out to dinner at a local Irish Pub. I had Plum Duff Bread Pudding for dessert, but was a bit disappointed. It tasted okay, but wasn’t what I was expecting. It was extremely dry and the outside crust was overdone. It...

Chop Salad for Recipe Friday

It’s finally really summer here in the Pacific Northwest. It was 90° last Saturday and as I write this on Wednesday night I see that it’s supposed to hit 90° again the next two days. This has me thinking about salads. I know we should...

Hot Mango Chutney Dip for Recipe Friday

Last Saturday, on my last day in Austin, my Aunt Norma made a delicious dip to go with crackers as part of our lunch. I was a bit puzzled when she started making it, and then when my cousin arrived with the last two ingredients...

Foods of Texas for Recipe Friday

If you have read any of my blog posts this week, you know I am in Texas visiting family. We’ve been to Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. I haven’t done any cooking, but the visit started out with an awesome bar-b-que dinner out. So I...

Family – My Sister’s Tuesday Three

I’m with my sister in Texas visiting extended family. I’ve been wracking my brain for what to do for My Tuesday Three because I don’t want to miss a day and mess up my perfect Post-a-Day Challenge record. I finally decided to ask my sister...

Kool-Aid for Recipe Friday

It’s been a crazy week, and I haven’t done much cooking (as in I’ve only cooked once and it’s a recipe I’ve already posted). So I asked my son what I should post for my Friday recipe. He suggested Kool-Aid. (When I typed that while...
