Chocolate Chess Pie
I love having at least one chocolate pie at the pie table after Thanksgiving Dinner. I always try to balance and add different pies, so we don't end up with a whole bunch of fruit pies. Chess pie is a custard pie that originates from England but is very popular in the...
Thanksgiving Meal Planner 2022
Every year since I was little my mom has put together a Thanksgiving menu and sign up. All of us kids would help. I agree with my mom that it is NOT fun, nor does it feel like a holiday, to slave away in the kitchen by yourself for 2 days to prepare for a 20-minute...
Sweet Potato Souffle
I had a great group of friends in Portland, Oregon. Every Christmas we would have our "Girlfriend's Christmas Party." I am SO grateful for the two friends who stepped up and started this fun tradition. They would plan it for the rest of us, and some things were...
Pumpkin Bread Pudding
I hardly every order dessert when we go out to dinner. My husband knows that there are two exceptions. I will almost definitely order dessert if there is a bread pudding or creme brulee on the menu. Years ago, after eating pumpkin bread pudding at a restaurant, I...
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
This is me and my friend Nancy. When we were in 9th grade, Nancy brought these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies to school for a bake sale she had signed up for. I had never seen these before and thought they were delicious! So Nancy and I decided to hide them in our locker...
Creamy Chicken Harvest Soup
I really LOVE soup, and this time of the year is the best because it's a great time to eat soup. THIS soup is one of my favorites. It is so different from all the other soups. You may use whatever veggies you like. The original recipe used yellow summer squash, but I...
Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup
This soup will chase away the chill of any blustery day. Rich, creamy and SO DELICIOUS. I prefer to use turkey sausage, especially now that you can get it in Italian sausage. The flavor is fantastic. Start by browning the sausage. Use cooking spray if you are using...

Tamale Pie
Every time I make Tamale Pie I am reminded how good it is! Like, REALLY DELICIOUS! A Mexican version of comfort food. The mixture of meat and veggies is so good, but it's the corn flour topper that makes it. This isn't corn meal...it's CORN FLOUR. You will find it in...
Applesauce Bread
When I was in High School (in Veradale, Washington) my dad wanted our family to go out Christmas caroling to all our friends and leave them a Christmas goodie. I don't know where I found this recipe, but I set to work and baked a LOT of mini-loaves of Applesauce...
