Mama’s Sloppy Joes

Mama’s Sloppy Joes

I have ventured back into our Family Cookbook for Mama's Sloppy Joes recipe.  There is something retro and comfortable about eating sloppy joes.  Do you know what I mean?  I can remember loving them as a child and always enjoyed Mom's. Don't really know...

Creamy Italian Tomato Sauce

Creamy Italian Tomato Sauce

Creamy Italian Tomato Sauce is the sauce for red sauce haters like me!  It's a perfect replacement for marinara or spaghetti sauce. Okay, maybe "hate" is too strong a word.  I've just never been a fan of spaghetti or any dish that's accompanied by a...

Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

I am bringing back a recipe I posted on our former blog, because these Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes were just looking so good to me right now. There are days when you just can’t think of a recipe to post, so you hit your trusty family cookbook to see if anything strikes...

Eclair Dessert with Fudge Frosting

Eclair Dessert with Fudge Frosting

You will recognize this dish but I have expanded the name of it to Eclair Dessert with Fudge Frosting--to distinguish it from all the other recipes for basically the same dish.  My version replaces the canned fudge frosting with homemade--yes...

Banana Sour Cream Muffins

Banana Sour Cream Muffins

Banana Sour Cream Muffins--because there are too many overripe bananas in the world. I kid, but really.  They get overly ripe so fast don't they?  And maybe you toss them in the fridge and think you'll use them.  Or freeze them for smoothies.  And...

Kim’s Yummy Fresh Fruit Cake

You can pick up the best recipes at baby & bridal showers, don’t you think?  I cannot tell you how many of my recipes were from get-togethers in friends' homes for one reason or another.  Remember Tupperware parties?  My first experience with Eclair...
