I love cowboy beans. (a version of baked beans) meat, 3-4 different beans, bacon, onions, bell pepper…
I cannot live without potatoes. I love basic recipes like a good plain potatoes soup.
chicken and noodles/cornbread dressing
I love making healthy meals for my family. I am always searching for new ideas and different ingredients to make something new
My Jalapeño Cornbread. It is the best I’ve ever tasted. Finally convinced my sisters I could cook. Took all the ingredients with me when I visited them in Florida. Fresh jalapeños were not readily available then (almost 40 years ago). Everyone really enjoyed it. It became very popular among the family even though they had to use canned jalapeños. The original recipe was from a Spanish/English cookbook.
Chichen vegetable rice soup. Make at least every two weeks.
I love the Olive Garden Breadsticks. My family would be very sad if I stopped making them.

I love fried potatoes with onions as a side dish.

I could not think about a day without biscuits!
I love a good pot of beef stew.
My mother’s meatloaf yum its so good.
The recipe I really like is one I don’t currently have a name for. It is simply a couple of potatoes fried in whatever you would like to fry them in, then when nearly done add a few slices of white or yellow onion, of it the onion is small, the whole onion sliced. Then when the potatoes and onions are nearly done, add a can of corned beef that has been broken up and then when that is heated up, add one can of creamed corn and stir it in and heat it up as well. When all potatoes and onions are tender serve it up! Very tasty.
It is a wonderful comfort food.

I love Krusteaz all purpose baking flour. Sam’s club had sold it and now they do not. I wrote to the company and also our HyVee store. got an e-mail this morning that the store will be carrying this flour. I bake a lot and my favorite recipe is my perfect ending cake made with this flour. Want a good moist cake that you put instant coffee in cake and in the frosting. Truly amazing. Would love winning this pan. It looks awesome. God bless you this Christmas season.
I have the best results with the recipe I get from slow cooker love my pork tender loin
I can’t live without my vegetable beef soup recipe!!
I love a chuck roast sitting upon tons of roasted vegetables instead of a rack. I season the roast with a mix of worchestire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, honey and ketchup. I then lay it on carrots, celery, onions, scallions, potatoes, asparagus, parsnip and I pour some of the same sauce over the veggies. So AMAZING.

I love bean soup. Any kind of bean soup. Back-eye peas, great northern beans, navy beans, black beans. Sometimes I buy the 16-beans package of dried beans and make soup with that. I make a very simple soup. Just the beans, a chopped onion, and lots of ham chunks. Cover with water to about 3 inches above the top of the beans and let simmer until the beans are tender and the liquid is thick and flavorful. I serve it with cornbread. It’s the best cold-weather meal I know.

My family and friends would BH e so disappointed if I lost my biscotti recipe. It is a slightly softer version of biscotti . . . still twice baked, and I never know what flavor they will be till I go through my cupboards. My new one last year was pumpkin. So good dunkef in hot cider.
My macaroni and cheese and collard greens.

My mother’s Mac and Cheese recipe
The one recipe I can’t live without is for homemade cooked salad dressing that I use to make potato salad, macaroni salad and also in deviled eggs. I got it from my mother, who got it from her mother, and it will be passed down to my kids. It is a long standing favorite and much requested at gatherings.
An organization I belong to always insists I bring my chocolate layer cake with peanut butter filling and chocolate frosting; when sold at auctions brings nearly $200 every year. As for me, I love baking bread of all kinds, but the one that always is gone after the first cutting is my Cheesy vegetable bread (with carrots, onion, red bell pepper and cheddar cheese). The aroma from any bread baking is great, but this particular bread really makes your mouth water and the taste is unbelievable.
Colombian corn arepas are the best for breakfast, lunch and dinner
My family & I can not live without my homemade mint sauce, much better than the green jelly stuff. Perfect with lamb in any form.
Meatloaf! I’ve perfected a recipe over the years that everyone seems to like. Love the leftovers for sandwiches later, too.
On a cold dreary day like today I like to make my chili. Kidney beans, light and dark, and not drained, chili powder, hamburger, onions,fresh tomatoes, if possible, or canned comatoes, stewed, and lots of tomato sauce or juice or whatever is available. The aroma that fills the home from this meal cooking on the stove says, welcome!
It would be tough to go without a beef roast with potatoes, onions, mushrooms and carrots and a gravy made from the drippings. Just made myself hungry!
Well, most of my favorites don’t require a recipe- I just throw things together (like pot roast, meat loaf, etc.) So I think I’d pick Chocolate Chip Cookies as the recipe I can’t live without.

Chili – I love it especially on a cold winter day.
pinto beans and cornbread
There are so many that my mother passed down to me.
At Christmas I guess it would be her peanut butter fudge or suet pudding.
For potlucks it would have to be her baked beans or lime, celery, maraschino cherries and marshmallow jello.
But for an everyday family meal it would have to be the way she taught me to fry/cook beef steaks and pork chops to make them extra tender and tasty.
My sister’s Hamburger Barley Soup. LOVE that stuff!
I love my chicken with cream of mushroom soup over rice with extra sauce.
Scalloped potatoes with pork chops on top
I’m a huge sucker for mac and cheese. It’s my ultimate comfort food, especially during these cold months.
My love is for snow cream. It may be because it is so easy to make or because you can only have when the snow is deep enough.
My favorite dish is my mother In Law’s Chicken A La King!!! It was my husbands favorite dish.
Cheesy chicken breasts and rice with peppers.
A rich hearty chili. If it’s for something like a big family get together where there will be a lot of people then instead of just making one batch I find the best solution is generally to make one really mild and one spicy batch so that people can mix them to get the spice level that’s right for them. Follow basically the same recipe for how much beans and such but keep one extremely mild while making the other spicy enough for the people that want it really spicy then letting people mix in their bowls tends to be the best solution to everyone seeming to want really different levels of spiciness, definitely better than the you get what the chef decided is good or you don’t get any since it doesn’t add much effort but pretty much solves the problem and generally for a family get together at least to batches are needed anyway just to have enough.
The one recipe that I could not live without, is my Ham & Cheese stuffed buns. I start with my grandmother’s sweet yeast bunot dough, and I fill it with black forest ham & cheddar cheese. Then, I form into buns & let rise. Once they’re done, I brush the tops with a bit of butter & then let them cool for 30 minutes. An all-in-one sandwich, that’s always requested. (Try roast beef & Sharp cheddar, Turkey & Swiss, hamburger, onion & taco seasoning)
I love an bacon and egg sandwich any time of day. It’s my all-time favorite.
I’m passionate about good ole fired potatoes with chopped onions. You just can’t get much better than this dish.
