  • Fajitas with DIY Seasoning

    We had a container of cheap fajita seasoning from the International market down the street but found out it had MSG in it. Today I was making fajitas and realized we had no seasoning. I found this recipe online and followed it loosely (ie. not really measuring but using these ingredients in roughly these proportions) and it turned out pretty well.

  • Carrot Soup

    We got this recipe from the back of a children's book we took out of the library and adapted it a little. Alleia ate it quite well after all the excitement of making it.

  • BBQ Sauce

    This recipe used Hot Sweet Mustard, the recipe for that is also in this section.  This sauce is not hot when cooked on meat.  We use a little more onion powder that this recipe shows, but we like onion.

  • 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.)

  • Day Ahead Cole Slaw

    Bev sent me this recipe.  Since quite a few of our family are not crazy about coleslaw, this is a great recipe because it keeps for a while.  I usually take out what we need for a meal rather then setting the whole thing out each time. This keeps it fresh, esp. in the summer.

  • Chew Salad

    Supposedly it takes more calories to chew this than the salad provides!

  • Souped Up Chicken Noodle Soup

    Our usual Sunday lunch during fall, winter and spring consists of soup and a make-your-own-sandwich table.  This is a common soup served, I guess partly because we have our chickens to feed us after we've fed them for a year.  Our younger kids like the dry chicken noodle soup prepared just with water too, but they know I try to serve lots of vegetables so they like this version as well.  Our garden often supplies the vegetables needed.
