Bell Pepper Slaw

Bell Pepper Slaw

This Pepper Slaw came from a Marlboro recipe, probably an insert to the Cook Like A Man Cookbook. Don’t be apprehensive about making things from scratch – this is super easy. Just make sure you have a really big knife. To slice the cabbage, I 

Easy Quiche

Easy Quiche

This is a classic quiche recipe that’s pretty easy to make, tasty and with lots of veggies & meats. You could even add more since this easy quiche bakes pretty solid, with perfect measurements. I got this recipe from a 2008 coupon for sour cream. 

Swedish Meatballs

Swedish Meatballs

There was a story I had to tell about Swedish Meatballs; somebody I know liked them a lot. So when she decided to live on her own, she asked me for the recipe, and I didn’t make a copy for myself. I had several copies

Crunchy Ramen Salad

There are may versions of this Midwest classic, but I think this version is pretty close to whatever the original was, and I’m sorry I don’t have a story for the history of this strange Crunchy Ramen Salad concoction. I remember my grandma making it.

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers

If you don’t like eating your veggies, try these stuffed bell peppers. I like using red pepper & green bell peppers, but what’s best is what’s stuffed inside! Ground beef, rice, tomatoes and a sweet Ketchup sauce on top… This recipe is based on Dad’s 

American Goulash

American Goulash

American Goulash is not Hungarian Goulash – the Hungarian version is more like a soup or stew, focused on serving seasoned meat with seasonal vegetables. That one is all about the seasoning; usually paprika-heavy (not that its a bad thing). Over here, we make Goulash 

Egg Salad Sandwich

Egg Salad Sandwich

I had never made egg salad before, because it is so high in cholesterol & sodium, and I always thought it’s just not good for you. But why was it so popular, then? Because it’s bad for you but delicious? Never fear, the dietary cholesterol
