Food * Family * Fun
A mother and daughter sharing our best food, and our secrets to living the happy life with the goal of helping us all create a stronger family unit.
Homestead Casserole
I found my Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook last week! As I turned the pages it took me back in time. We have definitely changed the way we cook! But there is still gold to be found there...but there may be some updates required. This casserole was originally called...
Buffalo Chicken Tostadas
Many years ago I was invited to a weekend away with girlfriends. Each of us was in charge of a different meal. My friend Annika made these AMAZING tostadas. I lost the recipe a long time ago so I've recreated it over time and this is now made often in my house. My...
Walking Tacos
Easy dinner! Party food! Lunch! Camp food! Walking Tacos are THE BEST! Walking Tacos have been around for awhile. You may have had them at the State Fair. They are a FUN FOOD! Grab a bag of corn chips, add the toppings and eat it right out of the bag! Or if you are a...
Dill Pickle Pasta Salad
Dill pickles taste like summer to me. Tangy slices on grilled hamburgers, chopped up in my mom's potato salad, and then the canning in August. So how perfect to pair dill pickles with pasta salad, another taste of summer! Pasta Salads as a whole are a little bit blah...
Chicken Gloria
This GLORIOUS dish (see what I did there?) is based on a Betty Crocker from back in the day and let me just say...it is AMAZING! Seriously SO GOOD! This is a recipe you should keep forever and always serve to your favorite guests. Start by breading the chicken pieces...
Baked Pasta with Sausage and Ricotta
This pasta is a favorite of mine. Comfort food at it's BEST. A perfect mix of pasta, sausage, a richly seasoned tomato sauce and cheese, CHEESE, CHEESE! Every bite is a piece of heaven. I like to use a fun squiggly-shaped pasta but use anything you want! Start by...
Chicken Nacho Casserole
Dinner time or party food...this works for either. It can be served as a warm, hearty casserole or as a fabulous party dip. Either way it is SO GOOD! I like to use rotisserie chicken and just shred and cut it up. Or use any leftover cooked chicken. I chop it up fairly...
Blossom Cookies
It's always nice to have something fun to bake come springtime. These cookies are delightful! Especially for Easter. They are light, buttery and delicious. They are great to make with kids...it's fun pressing the petals into the cookie dough! Any fruit spread will...
Black Bean and Turkey Tostadas
This meal has been a family favorite for more than a decade. I started making it when my house was full of little kids. These are basically open-faced tacos, and we LOVE tacos! My little cutie, who is now 22 years old, eating a black bean tostada way back in 2011....
Easy Raspberry Tart
I believe that raspberries can help a bad day become better. They are the best of the berries in my opinion. We can still be friends even if you disagree. Strawberries seem to hold the top spot with most people, but for me it's raspberries. When I was a little girl...
