Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I’m hoping that since you are here looking at brussels sprouts, you don’t think they are yucky, icky, or discusting. I can’t say that I always loved them. I just woke up one day and suddenly liked them. Espeically with cheese or seasoned with olive oil and McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning and roasted […]

Grandma’s Pinto Beans

I’m not a big fan of beans. I don’t really like any type of beans except for green beans and pinto beans cooked the way my grandmother made them. As a child, I remember her serving them in a large brown crock with onion and cornbread. When I grew up and had a family of […]

PASTA STIR-FRY FROM THE GARDEN

  I make varieties of this pasta dish all summer long using vegetables from the garden. This time I only used carrots, yellow squash, and tomatoes.  I usually also add zucchini but you can add any vegetable you like. I know I say this on most of my recipes but this is your meal.  Make […]

FAUX LOADED POTATO CASSEROLE

  I have seen this recipe around for years but I kept thinking that it couldn’t possibly be good.  The faux comes in because you substitute healthier cauliflower for the carb-laden potatoes.  In my mind,the couldn’t possibly be a good trade.  How many people really like cooked cauliflower? The change came while visiting my daughter. […]

SOUTHERN DEEP FRIED SQUASH

This is a summer staple at my house for dinner.  I make this fried squash  4 to 5 times a week and my daughter always request it when she comes to visit.  Even my 11 month old grandson loves it. This is more of a “this-is-what-I-use-and-have-never-measured-it” recipe.  If you are unsure the first time you […]

Bacon Ranch Corn Salad

I love corn salad.  It is one of those great recipes that you can’t make wrong.  I start with a can of corn and add whatever I happen to have on hand.  Put a dollop of mayonnaise  with a little powdered ranch dressing and add it to your vegetables, and you have bacon ranch corn […]

Sausage Stuffed Squash & Zucchini

Usually summer rolls around, gardens are planted, and everyone ends up with squash and zucchini. Not just some squash, but so much squash that you are begging people to take it. I love to stir fry it with onions but after 3 weeks of stir fried squash, I knew I had to come up with another […]
