Challah French Toast Recipe, fluffy thick sliced Challah bread dipped in a creamy egg mixture until soaked through but not soggy then fried in sizzling butter. Ideal to serve for brunch, weekend family breakfast, or like we do for weeknight dinner. French toast is one of those foods that remind me of my childhood when my Mother would make it on Saturday morning during the winter months. The house would be so cold in the mornings. We had open flame heaters in the living room and bathroom. She would light the oven in the kitchen for heat too as she started the bacon cooking. French toast is comfort food for breakfast that will warm you up fast. Mother's french toast on cold Saturday mornings is still one of my favorite memories of her in the kitchen.

Perfectly Cooked Steak Bites
Steak Bites, bite-size pieces of tender sirloin steak marinated in avocado oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Perfect for an elegant main dish or as an appetizer for any family gathering. I have the secret how to cook the steak bites perfectly! Sometimes I just want to cook outside the box. When I think steak, I think grilled steak, baked potatoes, and a nice side salad. Steak Bites are definitely outside the box. You might think outside the box means labor intensive, lots of ingredients, and expensive ingredients. Not Steak Bites!

Magic Green Beans
Magic Green Beans , baked in a casserole dish with all the sweet, savory and amazing flavors of the fancy green bean bundles that are so popular in fine dining restaurants and around the holidays without all the fuss! Have you made the Green Bean Bundles? These fancy little bundles are a lot of trouble to make, but for our fancy Christmas dinner, Prime Rib, Smashed Fingerling Potatoes, Green Salad, and hot buttered rolls, nothing is too much trouble. Green Bean Bundles just go with our fancy menu. The Green Bean Bundles are so easy to put together, but they are very time consuming when you need to make enough to serve a large crowd. Who doesn't love the flavor of bacon wrapped around a bundle of green beans, and a combination of brown sugar, butter, salt, and Worchester sauce poured over them and baked to perfection?

Old Fashioned New Potatoes and Peas in a White Sauce {Granny's Recipe}
Old Fashioned New Potatoes and Peas , sometimes called Southern New Potatoes in a White Sauce. There is one thing for sure about this recipe for New Potatoes, and English Peas smothered in a creamy white sauce, it has been around for ages. My Mother passed it down to me, and her Mother passed it down to her, tried and true recipe. The first vegetable I want to eat in the spring from our garden growing up is new potatoes and fresh English peas. Mother would wash and scrap the new potatoes, slice them, or you can also quarter them if you like a chunkier potato. While the potatoes are cooking, she makes the white sauce. I want to let you know I use leftover new potatoes at times to make a leftover makeover dish. Especially in the summer when new potatoes are plentiful from the garden. Boil the potatoes and eat them with butter and fresh herbs refrigerate the leftovers and then the next day use them to make New Potatoes in a White Sauce. Growing up mostly, I enjoy

Rush Hour Supper {A Family Favorite One Pot Meal}
Rush Hour Super is an old recipe using ground beef that my Mother in law gave me when I first got married. Something Easy and Quick is what she helped me learn to cook. Sometime in the late 80's my Mother in law gave me this recipe for Rush Hour Supper that someone had given her, that someone had given them, and so on. Isn't it like that, you get a recipe from someone, that gets it from someone, and then you never know where it originated from. All I know is that this recipe was a staple in our house when my children were growing up.

Weeknight Family Supper Meal: #5 Spaghetti Pie
Weeknight Family Supper Meal, an inspiration for a meal any night of the week that may include ideas how to make part of the meal ahead, how to freeze any leftovers or how to make leftovers into a makeover for another meal. With Valentine's Day next Wednesday, I thought you might like a meal for the special occasion. When my children were small, we chose to celebrate the moment with our children at the family table instead of a quiet romantic meal just husband and me. I would set the table with the fine china, crystal tea glasses, real cloth napkins and well the silverware was our everyday. I would serve a one pot dish, like Shrimp Creole over buttered rice, green salad, and for dessert, we would have chocolate cake. Oh, the memories are flooding in. sniff sniff!
