Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs

Nothing pleases my husband more than Deviled Eggs. Well, except another NewEgg.com delivery, maybe. Deviled eggs are a classic American appetizer, high in Vitamin B-12, riboflavin and Vitamin A, as well as essential amino acids and Omega 3 fatty acid. While high in cholesterol, this 

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

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. 

Spaghetti Salad

Spaghetti Salad

This is my Grandma’s thin spaghetti salad, a Christmas staple. I’ve removed the MSG and replaced it with a bit of salt and sugar in the seasoning mix. You can adjust it as you like, but while I ask for it every year, I don’t

Bowtie Pasta Salad

Best-Ever Crockpot Chili

Best-Ever Crockpot Chili

My favorite chili is Wendy’s. Always has been. My chili usually comes out a bit thicker than Wendy’s, though I suppose if you take your Wendy’s chili and cook it a bit longer, it will thicken up. Culver’s chili is comparable, but I think it 

Theon’s Favorite Toy in a Blanket

Theon’s Favorite Toy in a Blanket

Based on the Buzzfeed Game of Thrones viewing party menu, these pigs-in-a-blanket are so much fun! We changed it from brats to hot dogs to make the puff pastry go much further and used BBQ sauce for dipping. We like Stubb’s but you could try 

Hashbrown Casserole

Hashbrown Casserole

This cheesy Hash brown Potato Casserole recipe is based on a copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole from Spend With Pennies. We made just a few changes because in Wisconsin, well, you can never have enough cheese, and this Midwest classic can be modified to your
