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.
Brownies
I am not opposed to a good brownie mix, but when one is not on hand these are an easy go to. This is a great vintage frosted brownies recipe that I grew up on. The card in my recipe box is in my mom's handwriting. She would make these on a Sunday afternoon or to bring...
Fast & Dirty Chili
This is the TASIEST, FASTEST chili you could possibly make! My favorite combo! Just brown your ground beef or turkey chopped onions. Open all of your canned goods and dump them in without draining. Stir in your ranch and taco packets and stir together. Stir together...
Creme Brulee
Creme Brulee is one of the two desserts I will always order at a restaurant. Not all have lived up to the hype, but this one I make at home is always SO delicious! As soon as I learned how easy it is to make I bought ramekins, and eventually a cooking torch. It is...
PBD’s *Polar Bear Droppings*
When I was a teenager, I came across this recipe somewhere and my brother Joe and I decided to call them Polar Bear Droppings. We were young and thought we were funny and clever and the name stuck. These have been served at weddings and baby showers throughout the...
Pad Thai
I LOVE Thai food! One of my favorite dishes is Pad Thai and I have ordered it at many Thai restaurants, but it is never as good as THIS RECIPE! I feel like that sentence was somehow sacrilegious, but there it is! What can I say? This is SO DELICIOUS! It's definitely...
Broccoli Beef
Not only is this delicious, but it takes less than 30 minutes to make! This is one of my favorite flank steak recipes. I always watch for sales on flank steak. It is great in so many recipes. I like to buy flank steak in two packs at Sam's Club. I bring them home and...
Colleen’s Lasagna
This is Colleen Mott's lasagna. It's the lasagna I grew up with and it's a little different from the norm. This is definitely NOT authentic Italian lasagna...for one thing there is no ricotta cheese layer. And secondly, we use Swiss cheese! I don't know what to tell...
Painted Cookies
This is cookie-making and an art project all in one! Print off coloring pages from your computer. Make your cookie dough.....recipe BELOW. I like to cut out parchment paper squares and roll out dough on top.....you don't have to worry about transferring the cookie....
How Your Ancestors Can Save Your Children
How much do your children know about you? Their aunts and uncles? Their grandparents? And beyond? This knowledge (or lack of) may have more impact on their emotional well being than any other factor. Josef and Maria Schopf grew up in neighboring towns in Austria,...
Cheddar Cheese Soup
There is soup and then there is SOUP! And this deserves capital letters! This is one of our TOP FAVORITES! And if you want to take it up at notch, serve it in a sour dough bread bowl! At the very least, serve it with sour dough bread.....something about the two...
