Myrna Ritz Approved
This is Myrna Ritz, my mother-in-law. She is an amazing woman, and I have been so fortunate to learn so much from her over the last 24 years. She earned her Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education in the 1950's, which was not very common at the time. She later...
Dill Pickle Chip Dip
I have seen a version of this around a lot lately. We became obsessed with it! It's VERY addictive. And then we couldn't find it anymore! So, I decided to make it myself. It is really SO GOOD! Here you go! Three ingredients! Mix it up and enjoy! We do have a...
Orange Swirls
These are MY FAVORITE sweet rolls. As soon as I see snow in the forecast I buy oranges, I have to be prepared! It's also my favorite way to use my mother in law's recipe for Roll Dough. This recipe is cut down from the original to make 2 9x13 dishes of rolls or 24...
Bruschetta Dip
Several years ago, I went away on a girl's weekend trip with friends who all love food! One of our favorite things to do is share food, recipes and ideas. We are all assigned different meals to be in charge of. I always come away from those weekends with great new...
Lentil Soup
Do you like lentil soup? Have you ever tried it? You really really should. I have noticed lentil soup on more restaurant menus in recent years. Lentil Soup is truly a throw-back to a time when soaking beans for dinner was a regular thing. My grandma Mott used to make...
Southwest Hot Beef Sandwich
This is great for any lunch, game day or party! So filling it can make a whole meal. Steaming the pot roast is a great way to have shredded beef on hand and can be used for so many things! For this sandwich we are going to add some southwest ZING. Place the roast in a...
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
I have made this dinner since I was a newlywed and it is still one of the best things I make. It has become a family staple and we LOVE it. It's a fabulous family dinner but also great for company! These meatballs are PERFECTION and I use this same recipe for basic...
Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal cookies are always good, but these are GREAT! Loaded with extras they are almost like a homemade granola bar! My daughter eats them for breakfast. If you are like me you will throw in some white chocolate chips while you're at it! Just whip the shortening and...
Irish Stew
This delicious and hearty stew has the most wonderful tomato undertones. I usually make it on the stovetop, but I also love to have it quick and ready in the Instant Pot, or slow cook it all day in the crock pot. I have been messing with this recipe based off of half...
Cinnamon Rolls
It's a snowy day in Denver, Colorado. The kids are all home for Spring Break. A perfect day for Cinnamon Rolls. Cinnamon Rolls are a big tradition in our family. My mom rarely made them. Her thing was Sticky Buns. My mother-in-law has handed down the cinnamon roll...
