Mom's Grilled Sausage Patties Potatoes and Peppers

Saturday, August 30, 2014
 Mom's Grilled Sausage Patties Potatoes and Peppers  are the best smell I remember her cooking as I child. Those flavors are etched in my mind forever. I will always miss her cooking. Even making it myself will never duplicate mom's flavors. The smells when I came home from school with this baking in the oven was heavenly.

You may remember Mom's Sausage Recipe? Well this is the same recipe just made into sausage patties adding peppers and potatoes.

Homemade Sweet Potato Baby Food

Sunday, August 24, 2014
Making Homemade Baby food is easier than you think and this Baby food Sweet Potato Mash Recipe is quick and simple to make!

It really isn't time-consuming since you can make it so many ways.

I love knowing how much healthier making my own baby food is and what I am giving to the kids, it's total peace of mind.

You will have to choose how you would prefer and time you have to do this.

I prefer to roast my vegetables and not use canned always fresh to preserve the vitamins in them.

However, if you find yourself with time constraints, boiling is the next best option, although you will lose some benefits of vitamins lost.

After having two of my own children and now grandchildren, I feel safe knowing what they're eating by making their baby food from scratch and homemade.

I highly recommend doing this if you have the time.

It really is easy to do and the babies all loved sweet potatoes and the apples, you can choose from the many suggestions below using this same method on what you want to prepare for your baby.





this is how to make homemade baby sweet potatoes and its in a glass dish with a spatula

Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake

Saturday, August 23, 2014
Ok, I have the best of both recipes here for Peanut Butter Texas Sheets Cakes! One is all from scratch and the other is made with a Cake Mix so whatever you're preference when you want homemade or semi-homemade Texas Sheet Cake recipes!

Maybe you remember our other sheet cake Vanilla or Chocolate Texas Sheet cake recipes? We are huge fans of Texas sheet cakes of all flavors!

We got you covered with sheet cake flavors and methods here today if you're a peanut lover.

If I am in a hurry I make the cake mix version but when I have the time I made the all-made-from-scratch version both are delicious.

Peanut butter, butter, flour, sugar, and buttermilk are some of the wholesome ingredients in this recipe and the icing is just heavenly smooth and of course, made with peanut butter also.


Both versions are moist and tender cakes also, it's really hard to choose if one is better or which one is made from scratch.

I love having this opportunity to have a choice for my readers, especially those who won't use a cake mix version.

Just scroll to the bottom of this post for both printable recipes and let us know which one you like betters.

Flounder Francese (Egg Coated Recipe)

Sunday, August 10, 2014
Seafood was always a favorite in our home prepared like this Flounder Francese.


My mom's all-time favorite was anything Francese with fish or chicken and this was her easy recipe that I hold near and dear to my heart.


When she was still alive, she made this sauce and it was great on all kinds of white fish.


Usually, this was prepared and poured over cod or haddock.


Being, on a tight budget, those two fish were an inexpensive substitute for Flounder back in the 1960s.


We never had the money for a fancy fish like flounder in those days, she would surely have loved this delicate fish.


It was always cod or haddock and fabulous.


Cod baked or haddock fried was a staple back then every Friday, this style Francese was done on special occasions.


Sometimes mom would filet a chicken breast and use boneless chicken as well.


I make this recipe often in mom's memory and it never fails me, hopefully, if you are a seafood or chicken lover you will really enjoy this recipe as much as we do and keep her memory alive.
