Turkey Tetrazzini

Turkey Tetrazzini

Leftover turkey: usually, by the time I get around to planning this turkey tetrazzini casserole, the leftovers are gone. So, this is a long time coming, I finally did it! Having never made this before, I was not confident of the outcome, but it turned 

Amish Country Casserole

Amish Country Casserole

I found this recipe and thought it sounded simple & tasty, related to Hamburger Helper in some way, but a homemade casserole. It’s an old fashioned form of hamburger helper, just another beef noodle casserole. It might not even be Amish, but it’s a different

Stove-top Tuna Casserole

Stove-top Tuna Casserole

Casseroles are traditionally baked, and topped with crusty crackers and cheese, but this is a classic working-mom, one-pot, stove-top tuna casserole that can have dinner in their bellies in less than 30 minutes. This is one of my old-school, I-didn’t-plan-anything-for-dinner dinners. Its super cheap, and

I have no less than 6 recipes for sloppy joes. Curious, isn’t it? For this recipe, I’ll combine the ingredients that are fairly consistent across the stack. I actually think this recipe evolved over time. Hopefully, this will be the mature culmination of simplicity, taste

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 

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
