Magic Milk Shakes

Give these

I love this recipe because it makes very rich milk shakes without any ice cream. I don’t always have ice cream in the house because the kids eat it so fast. With this recipe we can have delicious frosty milk shakes for a fraction of the cost of those using ice cream. And all the […]

Deviled Eggs

Perfect for snack and potlucks. Who doesn't love a plate of homemade deviled eggs? Here's how I make mine.

A plate of deviled eggs is one of my go-to things to fix for potlucks and get-togethers. They are always appreciated no matter what else is on the table. They also make a great snack. If you are taking them, sprinkle a little paprika on top to make them look pretty. 6 eggs Water for […]

Whenever we need an easy weeknight dessert or just have some leftover bread that needs using up, I whip up a batch of this bread pudding. You can use any type of leftover bread for this. Just toast it and cut or tear it into small chunks. This recipe is from my 35 Homemade Bread […]

I make fried rice at least once a week for dinner. It’s a quick easy meal and a great way to use up leftover cooked rice. If you feeding more people than you expected, it’s easy to stretch this meal by adding another cup or two of rice, an extra egg and whatever leftover veggies […]

This “to-go” version is a great alternative that also makes for a yummy, healthy lunch. 2 large eggs salt and pepper to taste 2 Tbsp canned black beans (or other beans you liked) 1 Tbsp chunky salsa, any you like […]

This is one of my favorite “go-to” recipes when I don’t know what to make for dinner. Everyone likes it and it’s very fast to make. I also almost always have everything in the kitchen to make it. My favorite way to cook it is with bulk breakfast sausage. But you can make it with […]

Egg Casserole

This requires little prep time, is flexible, is easy, feeds a crowd, can be easily adapted for cholesterol and calorie watchers, and makes good leftovers. Good hot or cold, at any meal. Mom likes it with salsa […]
