Juicy Lucy Burgers
This fabulous burger hales from the great state of Minnesota! There are a couple of things that make this burger so delicious. First, it is imperative to use a high fat ground beef. This isn't the time to go low-fat. I use an 80/20 mix. Season well with...
Teriyaki Steak
My husband, the lucky guy, grew up eating this delicious Japanese steak! This recipe is Myrna Ritz Approved. I discovered this recipe in her cookbook soon after we were married. It is affordable and easy while also delicious and fancy! I always used to broil it, which...
Nacho Cheese Sauce
This is a fast, easy way to make this without all the extra ingredients added in the factory! Whatever you do, don't use pre-shredded cheese. It has anti-clumping agents added and doesn't melt as smoothly. AND if you are Me, use Tillamook cheese from lovely Tillamook,...

Saanya’s Masala Omelet
I LOVE Indian food. But I had never had it for breakfast. That is until, one fine morning, my daughter-in-law Saanya asked if I would like an omelet? And would I like a "regular" one or a Masala omelet? What kind of question is that? So...I watched her. I watch her...
