Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, a delightful dip made with chickpeas, roasted red bell peppers, jalapeños, and olive oil. Ideal for entertaining or just a quick and healthy snack. I had eaten store bought Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus before that was pretty good, but I decided that I could make some homemade.
Out Of The Oven Pita Chips
Out of the Oven Pita Chips, a homemade crunchy snack made sweet or savory that beats the store bought anytime. The first time I made these Pita Chips was for a wedding reception I catered. I thought we would never be through making approximately 2,000 chips. I didn't know if I would ever want to look at another pita chip again as long as I lived.
Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes
Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes , the perfect side dish to any steak dinner! Take extra special time to make these tasty will not disappoint. I used half and half in the stuffed potatoes this time since my husband is not a fan of sour cream. A substitution for sour cream would work if you prefer. I served these wonderful Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes with Dad's Famous Steak .

Classic Blueberry Scones with Clotted Cream and Lemon Curd
Classic Blueberry Scones, an English quick bread like biscuits are to Southerners, baked up tall and fluffy, served with a Mock Clotted Cream and Homemade Lemon Curd. The last time I went to Sam's I had bought a large container of blueberries. I was not eating them fast enough to keep them from going bad, so I began to think about what I could make with them for breakfast this morning.
Homemade Pimento Cheese and Homemade Chicken Salad {Did You Know August is Officially National Sandwich Month?}
Homemade Pimento Cheese and Homemade Chicken Salad are the favorite salad to make sandwiches. Pick out a favorite bread, and you can have the perfect sandwiches for any gathering. I was thinking this past Wednesday about what dish I was going to take to our Sunday evening Life Group meeting, when I thought about August is National Sandwich Month, and what better time to take sandwiches.
Chinese Style Chop Suey {Granny's Recipe}
Chop Suey is a Chinese dish consisting of meats (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp or pork), cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts , cabbage , and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mien with the addition of stir-fried noodles. This is a recipe that my mother used to make me when I was a young girl. I remember it was the first time I knew anything about what Chinese food might taste like, not that this is an authentic Chinese dish, but for me, back in the 60's it was as close as I was going to get to authentic Chinese food. The closest Chinese restaurant was 150 miles away. The Soy Sauce we used with it was probably the only authentic taste I really experienced. I remember my mother would make this when the round steak was on sale at the grocery store. I think back then as it is today, it was one of the less expensive cuts of steak that was available
