Previously, I shared a family recipe for Cheese Enchiladas. I have now started to experiment with different types, chicken has been our favorite. The sauce is the same, but I’m adding a few tricks I’ve picked up along the way and my preferred method for cooking the meat. Ingredients – approx 2 dozen: 20-24 tortillas …
Apparently there has been a bit of a tragedy happening right under my nose out here on the East Coast, and I was not even aware of it. Most of these lovely people have never tried or even heard of Scotcheroos! I have taken this delicious dessert for granted for the last 30 years. I …
After successfully recreating my grandmother’s cabbage burgers, I wanted to give her cinnamon rolls a try. I called around to the aunts and received a few recipes that were pretty similar. This particular one Grandma would use to save time and when she was making rolls to accompany dishes that were not also made from dough, …

We did things a bit backwards this year. For Thanksgiving dessert my husband requested cake (Coconut Cake to be precise), and for his birthday a few days ago I made his favorite, Fudge Pie. His grandmother always made this for the holidays. Now for special occasions, or when we just need a touch of home, …
My husband had a carry-in at work a couple of weeks ago. Later that afternoon I received an email from him; the subject line: THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! The body of the message was the following recipe simply called Coconut Cake. Rather than pie, my husband asked if we could have the cake on Thanksgiving. Thank …
One of my most popular posts is our family recipe for enchiladas. This dish is a favorite at our house; but with a longer prep time it’s not always practical, and the 2 dozen enchiladas it yields are nearly impossible for one family to consume. If you don’t feel like eating enchiladas for 3 weeks …
