Hi everyone! It's been way too long since I last added a new recipe to my blog. Life sure gets crazy sometimes and I lose track of time. I went through my cookbooks again and found a couple new recipes to share. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does. Take care!!
Aunt Nikki's Diced Potatoes (they are great for any meal!)
6-7 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 stick of butter
Garlic salt, to taste
Parmesan cheese, to taste
Boil diced potatoes until softened, drain. Melt butter in large skillet and add diced potatoes. Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese. Cook until heated through. Enjoy!
Mimi's Meatloaf
2-4 lbs. ground beef ( I prefer to use ground beef and ground turkey)
1 egg per pound
1 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp. milk
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 slices white bread, torn into pieces
Parsley to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Put into a large loaf pan and bake at 375 for at least an hour. If you have a large meatloaf you may need to cook it for at least 1 hr. 15 mins.
My entire family loves this recipe. Sometime I use this special meatloaf mix that Wegmans sells. They have a mix of ground beef, pork and veal that they do especially for meatloaf and it makes for a great dinner. Enjoy!

Hi all! Sorry that it's been awhile since adding a new recipe. Life has been rather hectic and I haven't been home long enough to get on the computer for anything other than checking the weather report. I finally had a chance to dig out a couple recipes to share with everyone. The first is an appetizer that my family has always enjoyed. I really can't remember where it came from but I remember eating it as a kid. The other recipe is a great side dish that my sister gave me. I make this one all the time in the summer to go with hot dogs and hamburgers but it's great with anything. I hope you like them!

Happy Election Day- I hope!
Here it is election day. I personally can't wait for it to be over. I have had enough of all this negativity and am ready to move on. I thought I would get away from all the news and just share a couple more new recipes with everyone. I found a great dinner recipe that mom used to make all the time and I also have a dessert recipe for you that a wonderful friend always made for work parties. Enjoy!

1 can (8oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (3oz.) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. oregano
Wash chicken and pat dry. Melt shortening in any large skillet. Coat chicken pieces with flour. Cook chicken in shortening over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until light brown. Remove chicken and set aside. Add onions, green peppers and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients. Add chicken to sauce. Cover tightly; simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until thickest pieces are fork tender. Serve with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.
Cheesecake Brownies
1 package (9x13) brownie mix
Make brownie mix according to package directions. Spread half the mixture in greased 9x13 pan.
In a small bowl:

1/2 tsp. vanilla
Beat these 4 ingredients until smooth. Pour over brownie mix in the pan. Spoon remaining brownie mixture over the top and swirl with a knife to marbelize. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool and chill for 1 hour. Cut into bars and enjoy.
Have a great day!

Happy November!
I can't believe that it's actually November 1st! Where has the year gone? I took down all my Halloween decorations this morning and pulled out all the turkeys. Just doesn't seem possible that the holiday season is already upon us! As usual I have been going through my recipes- much better entertainment these days as compared to the television ( I will turn it back on when the election season is over!). I have 2 new recipes that I would like to share with you. One I got from my sister and the other I have had so long that I don't remember where it came from! Either way, both recipes are delicious and I hope you enjoy them!

1/2 pound smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/2 in. slices ( I prefer to use the entire pound!)
1/2 cup sliced onion
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 can beef consomme
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (I use carrots, broccoli and water chestnuts)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
hot cooked rice
In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown sausage and onion in hot oil. Stir in consomme, frozen vegetables and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat , cover and simmer 1-2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp- tender. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Stir slowly into the stew mixture. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, about one minute; stirring constantly. Serve over hot cooked rice.
Chicken Fingers
1 pkg. chicken fingers (chicken tenders)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Mix egg in a bowl with the 1/2 cup milk. Place the bread crumbs in a dish; add garlic and parsley to the bread crumbs. Dip chicken fingers into the egg and then roll in the bread crumbs. Fry in 1/4 cup of oil for about 1/2 hour turning after 15 minutes.
Enjoy all!!!
