From the recipe archive……brought back just in time for our
(burrrrr), colder days that have just started, please enjoy!
I was on the lookout for a casserole that I could bring to a friend’s house, and I remebered this recipe from a cook book (sunset) that I have had for years and years, since 1978 to be exact! I really liked this beef and spinach casserole because it is can be made any time of the year, delicious either hot or cold. The meat Read the rest of this entry »
Quick Tamale Pie

I used to make this years ago, I forgot all about it. This is a perfect week night meal that is quick and easy! If you don’t want the beef, substitute it with turkey for a leaner version. I use the Jiffy brand corn bread mix, which generates just the right amount to cover the entire tamale pie. What’s great about tamale pie is that Read the rest of this entry »

This Thanksgiving, we were not hosting, so my one and only job was to bring one vegetable side dish (and of course a
bottle of wine). I had found this recipe for Sauteed Brussel Sprouts with Smoked Ham and decided to give it a try. Not only was it very good, it was very easy to put together. I was a little concerned because I had to prepare it a few hours in advance, but I think we were better off letting it Read the rest of this entry »

Ziti pasta is a thick long tube, about 18 inches long, that is broken into pieces before it is cooked. Of course the ziti pasta that we buy today Read the rest of this entry »
