Chicken Ala King
This is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorite meals. As a little girl, I often enjoyed this dish during weekends with my grandma. At that time, it came from a can made by Swanson. Unfortunately, I can no longer find it locally, and I’m unsure whether it’s been discontinued or simply unavailable here in central…

Cream Cheese Raspberry Breakfast Braid
If you have ever had a kid show up at your door selling something for a fundraiser, you may have come across someone selling “Breakfast Braids”. That is where I first discovered these. I will say the ones I purchased were quite a bit smaller than what this recipe will yield. Normally, you can get…

French Vanilla Coffee Syrup
I’m sure almost everyone has noticed these various flavored syrups at their preferred convenience store. The common flavors include caramel, French vanilla, and hazelnut. I’m not exaggerating when I say that buying them for home use is costly, and it’s a luxury in our household that I often find hard to justify. Here is a…

Creamy Cucumbers
I will be the first to admit that I had never heard of “Creamy Cucumbers” before I moved to Minnesota. We used to go visit my husband’s grandparents, and it didn’t matter what time of day you went to visit, Grandma Sylvia would always serve you something to eat. They would have “lunch” at ten…

Granola Bars
Every day, my husband goes to work and brings lunch with him. For years, I used to buy chocolate chip granola bars for him. However, when the prices appeared to rise, I decided to start making them myself at home. Now, I know what is in them, and I can feel better about what he…

Beef Marinade
Few things are as disappointing as eagerly anticipating a delicious, tender, juicy steak, only to be let down by a bland, tough piece of meat that’s difficult to chew. The cost of a good steak is nearly unaffordable for many, and the last thing you want is for it to be terrible and inedible. I…

Homemade Beef Jerky
Have you checked the price of beef jerky in stores? It’s surprisingly high. We enjoy jerky, but due to its cost, we rarely purchase it. Years back, my husband’s close friend owned a “meat shop” in our neighborhood, and Herm crafted the finest jerky. Unfortunately, Herm passed away in 2011, and we haven’t found any…

Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup
It feels like canned condensed cream of chicken soup has been around forever. As a child, I enjoyed eating the soup on its own, and as an adult, I discovered its versatility in numerous delicious recipes. I might sound repetitive, but with rising costs and the extensive processing of our foods, I’ve decided to make…

Twice Baked Potatoes
The more recipes I share with you all, the more memories I get to walk through. If you’ve read any of my other stories, you would understand the impact my grandmother had on me and my passion for food. Grandma had an old white enamel gas stove that required lighting with a match since it…

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This recipe is one my mom used to prepare for us during our childhood. It’s one of those creamy comfort dishes that truly satisfies on chilly winter days. The ingredients are straightforward, but when combined, they create an exceptional flavor. It’s not overly spicy, yet still full of taste. This recipe comes together quickly and…
