This is an incredibly flavorful condiment. I will forever use it for our homemade catsup (or ketchup, as my spell check prefers!)
Fabulous Supper Nachos
My mom found this recipe in a magazine probably thirty years ago, and it is AMAZING. They’re called “Supper Nachos” because they are a meal, and this is probably the dish for which I’m most often asked for the recipe. You won’t find a better dish to take to a party.
Homemade Refried Beans
I never realized how easy it was to make refried beans. As much as we love Mexican food, I hate to think about how many cans of beans we’ve gone through. This recipe is great as a side dish or in any recipe that calls for refried beans, and it makes 2 cans worth (about 2 pounds).
Mummy Dogs
A fun Halloween treat: hot dogs wrapped in strips of buttermilk biscuit dough like little mummies, with mustard dots for eyes.
Beefy Bugs
A Halloween treat of beef little smokies wrapped in buttermilk biscuit dough, with French fry legs and antennae and mustard and ketchup spots.
Jen’s Greek Crockpot Chicken
My dear friend Jen, the crock-pot recipe queen, shares a recipe her family enjoys: chicken thighs slow cooked with vegetables, herbs, and a tomato sauce warmed with cumin and cinnamon, then topped with feta. She served it over rice pilaf, but you could serve it over mashed potatoes or couscous.
Delightful Pumpkin Coffee Cake
One Sunday morning, about 50 minutes before we had to leave for church, I realized I had to bring breakfast to Sunday School. I spotted a can of pumpkin, decided on a coffee cake, and had it in the oven no less than seven minutes later. Thankfully, it turned out well.
Cold Packed Cucumber Dill Pickles
I love this pickle recipe, because I can make a jar as I pick cucumbers instead of saving cucumbers until I have a lot and doing a mass canning. I also love this because it’s relatively effortless.
