Chicken Parmesan

I was up late last night talking to my dad on the phone for an hour and a half about cooking, recipes, etc. After I got of the phone I went on a recipe hunt, not looking for anything in particular just really looking. That's when I ran into this delicious dish on Full Bellies, Happy Kids.

Meatloaf

Ah meatloaf! There are so many different ways to make it. I had only made my mothers version before a got this one and I haven't made my mothers since! I actually don't think I will ever make a different version from this one ever again! It is just that good to me!

Fruit Cocktail Cake


This recipe I got from my father. He had gotten it from his mother who got it from Sister Teresa Ann back in 1968. My mother in law has been saying that Granny always said the best cake was a fruit cocktail cake. As soon as my dad gave this to me (which I didn't know that he had) I knew I would soon be making it.

Easy Homemade Donuts

These are so simple to make. You could easily make these w/ the kiddos. Have them stretch out the dough, you fry them and have them cover them in the mixture of their choice! I just wish my baby girl was old enough to enjoy making these w/ me.

Snickerdoodles

Ah, Snickerdoodles. The staple of Christmas, right? So, it will be a complete shocker when I tell you, this is another goodie that is going in the tin that I am making family members for Christmas. *GASP*

This great recipe was found at Country Momma Cooks.

Farmer Brown



Any one that doesn't live in Southern Indiana doesn't seem to know what Farmer Brown is. It's really nothing special, just hamburger, mashed taters and cheese. Like me, the majority of people around here probably first had this in school. When I was in school I didn't care for this. I never made it till I got with my husband in 2007 and who would of guess that I now like it.

Chicken Mozzarella

This was found in a little cook book that my mother-in-law bought me called Campbell's Casseroles.

I didn't at all plan for this meal, it was just one of those "I have everything on hand and I don't feel like making anything else" meals. I didn't have the rotini like the recipe calls for, but noodles are noodles in my eyes.

Carmel Apple Bread Pudding

Who doesn't love a good slice of bread pudding? This recipe just sounded too delicious not to make & it was beyond delicious!! With the little bits of apple here and there and the carmel on top, it was almost like eating a candy apple with gooey goodness all around it!

Granny's Beef Veggie Soup



My husband requested this a few weeks ago and I couldn't deny it to him. I did do it different, since she did it on the stove in a pot, I just tossed all of mine in a crock pot. It is very delicious. I got the recipe from his mother, since his Granny has since passed. All it was meat, potatoes, veggies, and tomato juice. He didn't know that I doctored it up some since it seemed a little too dull for me. He said it tasted just like Granny's so I did something right!!

Baked Mac & Cheese

I found a recipe similar to this on Just-A-Pinch. This is my revamped version of it & is so good. I love the bread crumbs so mine has quite a bit more on it. This is so rich and so cheesy! This was all I had for dinner tonight!
