  • Scones on a platter.

    Sweet Seventeen Scones

    This was a big success at Alleia's 17th birthday party. They tasted great. It would be pretty easy to swap out blueberries, almonds, and/or chocolate for the cranberry/orange combination, too.

  • Crust by Reuben.

    Chicken Pot Pie

    This one is still a bit of a work in progress. The flavour was good but it was a little soupy so I've adjusted some of the numbers in this recipe for another trial next time.

  • Egg Casserole

    This recipe is pretty flexible in terms of the kind of meat / cheese / etc.

  • Homemade Eggnog

    I made this over Christmas, and it was a good source of calories when I was up in the night with Asher. The recipe was in our local newspaper in December. I've halved it, so that it makes about five 1-cup servings (or ten 1/2 cup servings--it is very rich!).

  • Bargain Banana Bread

    Bargain Banana Bread

    This recipe is hand-written in my book. I got it from mom, who says she got it from "the Super Store's bargain banana bag".

  • Thousand Island Dressing

    Another one from Aunt Clasina.  Mom wrote "Combine all above ingredients. You will have the most delicious salad dressing you ever tasted."

  • Cooked Dressing

    This is the recipe Mom used for potato salad.  As I sit here typing this recipe, I see a pan on a bread board on the kitchen windowsill, I can feel the gentle breeze, see the steam coming out of the pan, and recognize the somewhat pungent smell of the mustard dressing - the making of potato salad. Yum!

  • Layered Lettuce Salad

    This salad is quite popular around here.  I like the taste a lot, but don't know how you can reduce the amount of Miracle Whip.  (It tastes great, but seems like a lot of dressing.)

  • Jello Salad

    We like the topping on this salad.

  • Chicken and Almond Casserole

    We had this at the bridal shower I attended in MI.  It was delicious.  Just wanted to pass it along.  I remember Dave's Aunt Cindy saying something about a special kind of almond she used (Spanish Marcona almonds).  I have no idea where you would find them.  I'll probably try regular almonds first!
