Trying to duplicate fast food is easy, if you know the secrets. Tender bites of spicy, boneless chicken on top of creamy, homemade mashed potatoes, corn (who doesn’t mix their corn with mashed potatoes?), gravy and cheese. I got the spices in the coating for the chicken right, but the gravy was another story. Most…

Stuffed peppers are a Polish dish that I grew up with. Bell peppers stuffed with beef and rice and a sauce made with tomato soup (that was my mom’s way). This is my Italian version of stuffed peppers using cubanelle or “Italian frying peppers”. They have a slight kick to them and are thin walled.…

I love butternut squash in any way, shape, or form. This is a delicious salty-and-sweet dish that was a huge hit! The pasta was creamy and the bacon added incredible flavor! 3 cups (1-inch) cubed, peeled butternut squash 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary Salt and Pepper Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 6 slices bacon 1 cup thinly…

This recipe came from three different places. The first time I saw this made was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Everything went into the pot, including the lettuce! I’m surprised she didn’t throw in a sesame seed bun! I liked the idea of it, everyone loves a cheeseburger, especially with bacon. The second inspiration of…

Nothing fancy here, just a plain ole Pepper & Egg Sandwich…. I’ll bet you haven’t thought of this in a while have you? Fry up some peppers and onions, toss in and scramble the eggs. If you want an exact recipe…. 2 green or red peppers washed, seeded and sliced 1/2 large Vidalia or…

With Lent just around the corner, I thought I would get a head start on some different fish dishes. I love a good fish and chips, or just breaded cod ,pan fried. Hit any Southern restaurant on a Friday night and you’ll be sure to find fried catfish and hush puppies on the menu. All…

This recipe is foolproof – there’s no blending in butter, no rolling. Using cream is like having butter and milk combined. They are just as good for dinner if you make them without the berries and sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 2 Tbsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg…

Whenever I see those little Tastykake pies on the shelf – I grab ’em. They seem to be dwindling away just like all the little packaged cakes we grew up with. This is a version of one of my favorites – Pineapple Pie. 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup confectioner’s sugar 4 tsp. baking powder…
