Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a tradition at our house! Jason’s grandma Delores introduced me to this dish. She served it every Easter. I am not a huge fan of Jello ordinarily so I didn’t expect to like it all that well, but I loved it. In fact Grandma served it as part of the meal,… [continue reading]
Chorizo con Papas Recipe (Mexican Sausage with Potatoes)
From as long as I can remember Chorizo con Papas has been one of my favorite things to eat. I prefer to eat this dish as tacos in corn tortillas. The rest of my family prefers flour tortillas, so I keep an ample supply of both. On a chilly weekend at home, I imagine most… [continue reading]
Sticky Buns
I have made these Sticky Buns lots of times over the years and they always come out great! Well that is for the one time I made them for a men’s breakfast, and they didn’t rise. It was so embarrassing. I always wondered what happened that time. Did I forget the yeast? Ha ha! Anyway,… [continue reading]

Double Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe
Previously, I shared our favorite banana bread recipe. This is our…other favorite recipe. I usually make both at the same time and put them in the oven together even though cooking times vary. I just adjust and watch them. A friend shared this with me on Facebook way back when…only friends were friends on Facebook… [continue reading]

Easy Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
Oh how I love my bread machine. It was the one thing I REALLY wanted for a wedding present…and I didn’t receive one, but my sister did give me one for Christmas soon after.

Pecan Log Rolls
Oh, my! Yum! I have loved Pecan Log Rolls for as long as I remember. When I was a child, I remember my grandmother making divinity in her tiny RV that she traveled all over Central America and Mexico in. She was amazing. For years I was afraid of making it, but a candy thermometer… [continue reading]
