#employee Sloppy Joe was the unsung culinary understudy of my youth. I don’t ever recall anyone asking for it when someone asked “what do you want for dinner?” I don’t know of a single person that ever listed it as their favorite meal. (By now you are probably asking yourself why this post exists if Sloppy Joe is so unloved). The thing is, it showed … Continue reading Good ’nuff for Company Sloppy Joe

I can barely type as I am writing this post because I am still eating this dip. I can’t put it down. Be warned, this is one of those “so good it could ruin your life” kind of things.

Add to that the fact that I don’t really desire to be the talent in a series of videos and you get a good picture of my dilemma. This video is my first attempt at a workable … Continue reading New Sugar Cookie Video

I found this recipe on Pinterest and made the rolls for Thanksgiving dinner this year. They were a huge hit! As a rule I don’t just re-post other people’s recipes, but these were so good I had to share. The original recipe can be found at http://veryhom.com/lunch-lady-cafeteria-rolls-step-step/ Her recipe states that it makes 4 Dozen rolls. I must have made mine a little larger because … Continue reading Lunch Lady Dinner Rolls
This is one of the recipes from my grandmother’s recipe box. Growing up in rural Ohio, the county fair was an annual event not to be missed. Old men talked about tractors and horses and how to get more milk out their cows. The women entered their best garden vegetables to be judged, and the truly brave submitted their best culinary masterpieces. Jams, jellies, preserves, … Continue reading Grandma Allen’s Pecan Pie
