Sesame Garlic Toast for Recipe Friday

There are probably as many recipes for garlic toast as there are for French bread. We’ve tried many of them. But our favorite garlic toast is what I call Sesame Garlic Toast. This is one of my family’s favorite side dishes. It is also one...

Fajita Tacos for Recipe Friday

Growing up, tacos were not one of my favorite meals. There are so many varieties of tacos, though, so just because you don’t like one taco doesn’t mean you won’t like another. Over the years I’ve developed this taco recipe, and now it’s the only...

Swiss Steak for Recipe Friday

When I was a kid my mom used to make Swiss Steak a lot. I think she used the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, which uses canned tomato soup. This is my own version that uses V8 Juice instead. This entrée can...

Baked Chicken Strips for Recipe Friday

Usually when I make chicken strips I pan fry them. But that requires closely monitoring the frying process and if I am distracted by other things can lead to burned chicken strips. My family will still eat them slightly burned, but last night I didn’t...
