Steak and Veggie Hot Dish
Another Vintage Casserole and this one is FABULOUS! I first started making this as a newlywed and it has always been one of our favorites. You can use leftover beef from a pot roast or just buy a good steak. It's a nice change up and a great way to use summer veggies....
Cheesy Chicken Sliders
When we were little mom made these sandwiches up one night, and they stuck. We all love them. I make them for a weekend lunch when everyone is home, or on a busy weeknight. I ALWAYS DOUBLE this recipe. This is one of my "hurry up and make something for the teenagers...
The VERY BEST Peanut Butter Cookies.
This is my mom, Colleen Mott's recipe. I have a very vivid memory of talking with her in the kitchen while she pressed criss-crosses into the cookies. I honestly don't know what it is about these cookies. The recipe is pretty basic. But we have tasted many people's...

Creamy White Chicken Chili
This is a regular "go to" meal in our home. Who loves their Instant Pot? I DO! I use mine 2-3 times a week on average. This is one of our favorite Instant Pot dinners. If you don't have an Instant Pot this can be made in the crockpot. Check that out in the recipe...
Banana Muffins
This is a classic, full proof recipe. And they are great to have on hand for when you are on the run! This recipe makes 3 dozen muffins and I freeze at least half of them. Make sure your bananas are ripe! And the riper the better! Use them right before the fruit flies...
Pizza Rolls
I remember my mom, Colleen Mott, making these from the time I was little. They were always a treat and great for lunch or dinner. When I was a teenager our church youth group went on a trip to Canada... my mom made these for 70 people in a park on a grill...just as...
Kinetic Sand
Here's the deal. You can go and buy kinetic sand everywhere. And it's great! BUT, this is different. The MAKING of it is WONDERFUL. Let the kids feel the sand. Now feel the corn starch, and how does that feel different? They LOVE the feel of mixing the...
