Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

You won't believe how easy it is to make your own sweetened and condensed milk. use it in your favorite recipes, put it in your coffee, or top your pancakes and waffles with this .

Do you use sweetened condensed milk? I use it here and there for baking and every once in a while I have in my coffee. For years I bought the canned version. Then I figured out how simple it was to make at home. I have to warn you, it takes a little bit of […]

Homemade Buttermilk Pound Cake Recipe

A tasty homemade buttermilk pound cake topped with powdered sugar..

It all started around Thanksgiving. Each year I buy a half-gallon of buttermilk to make the biscuits and cornbread that go into my homemade cornbread dressing. The rest of the year I use regular milk in those recipes, but for Thanksgiving and Christmas I “splurge” on some buttermilk. It tastes richer I think and it’s […]

Cucumber Salad With Cottage Cheese

A simple summer salad, or a filling, healthy lunch of sliced cucumbers, cottage cheese, herbs and spices. Healthy and delicious.

Since I started cutting out wheat and eating fewer carbs to lose weight, I had to come up with some new lunches and side dishes. Two of my favorites now that the weather is starting to warm up are cucumbers and cottage cheese. You may not thing of those two ingredients together, but they make […]

Gluten Free Sesame Chicken

Who knew making Sesame Chicken was this easy. We like this better than takeout.

I’ve been on a quest for the perfect gluten free sesame chicken recipe. My husband had been suffering from migraines for years. We’ve finally figured out that going gluten-free almost completely eliminates them. As a result, I’ve been playing around with a lot of gluten-free dishes. One thing we missed was the occasional Chinese take-out. […]

Crisp Meringue Cookies

All it takes is 3 ingredients and a little patience to make these delicious,

I’m looking for a recipe for Meringue cookie. My mother used to make these and I loved them so much. Hers were light and did not fall apart as much like I found my last attempt did. Hers were like a soft cookie but with a slight crisp. Janie Britton From The Hillbilly Housewife My […]

Curried Chicken

Here’s a fresh take on leftover chicken. We love roasting whole chickens or putting a large batch of chicken on the grill. Either way we usually end up with plenty of leftovers. Chicken salad is great, but sometimes you’re in the mood for something a little different – and need a quick and easy dinner […]
