Just another side dish idea. We try to cook potatoes in a variety of ways and for everything but mashed, we use red potatoes. Basically you throw all this in a bowl, mix and bake. Pretty simple. I chose to use light dressing and no cheese since I'm trying to lose weight but normally we do add cheese. Another great variation of this if you don't … [Read more...]

I'm actually not a fan of squash but everyone I know loves it. I try to cook it often for my family and for the cowboys but get tired of the same ol' fried squash. I decided this time around to try some baked squash. I fed the cowboys today and must have done something right with the recipe because the entire casserole dish was empty! Makes … [Read more...]
Remember my Shrimp Stroganoff Casserole? Well, it's in the April issue of Taste of Home! I found out a while back that it was going to be in there and was so excited! I was told it had been made in several of the Taste of Home testing kitchens and they were giving it thumbs up all around, which made me feel very good. Casseroles really are … [Read more...]

This recipe calls for frozen diced hash browns in a bag but … [Read more...]
My sister-in-law was so gracious enough as to submit a King Ranch Casserole with her own flay-va! She really is an awesome cook and I hope that one day she'll share her family recipe for her pecan pie....HEAVEN!!! A couple of the things in her recipe are optional. As always, substitute, omit, or whatever you want to your liking:) … [Read more...]
Okay, so I really don't know the name of this recipe. It was given to me by a friend of mine years ago. It's been a cowboy favorite for many years for me. People try to take short cuts like NOT pan frying the patties but you can't do that! It's not the same if you don't pan fry them! Thank you to Johnna for giving me the recipe and many … [Read more...]
