Taco Salad in Tortilla Bowl Shells
I just made Taco Salad in Tortilla Bowl Shells last night for dinner. You might think I am on a taco salad kick, since I shared the beach salad recipe recently. Well no, but I do really love them! Have you ever tried making your own shell bowls out of...
Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce
These Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce are just plain good. Who doesn’t love a good fish taco? They can be hard to find–can’t stand when they are too fishy, though. The tilapia in this recipe is so mild you will swear you are eating chicken. I kept...
Pat’s Beach Taco Salad
A favorite beach memory for our family is Pat's Beach Taco Salad. Nothing about it is beachy, but our family always makes this main dish salad on any given beach week during the summer. Since there are four of us girls, there is a good chance we have included this in...
Chicken & Rice Casserole
The recipe for this particular Chicken & Rice Casserole was shared to my daughter from a family friend of her husband's family. We have been looped in to that group for family dinners and that is where I first tasted this dish. Hooked immediately, I...
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...
Scotch Eggs
National Scotch Egg Day is the nearest Thursday to May 24th--although another source says July 27-- so here I am posting the recipe. If you find out anything else in your research, please let me know in the comments. You can make this now, or on July 27th, or...
Slow Cooker Taco Beef Soup
Now one of our family favorites--even my 3 year-old granddaughter likes it!--this Slow Cooker Taco Beef Soup is a crowd pleaser. We have to double it when our family of 12 (um, that is grandkids included) gets together for dinner, but that's okay. I have two...
Stuffed Green Bell Peppers
One of the recipes that I remember from my childhood or teens--who can remember?--is this one for Stuffed Green Bell Peppers. It's a great way to get your veggies and how cool is it that you bake this dish in it's own little "bowl"? My daughter texted the other...
Toasted Turkey Club Sandwich
Nothing reminds me more of eating at a diner than a Toasted Turkey Club Sandwich. As a matter of fact, I have eaten at a local diner three times in the past couple of months and two of those times this is what I ordered. The other time they were out of turkey so...
