I really like the idea of “small sandwiches”, or sliders and so glad you can buy rolls which are a perfect size. Probably one of the favorite sandwiches I have made are Ham and Cheese Sandwiches which are easily made ahead, frozen and taken out as needed. I also have another post on sliders here … Continue reading
Beef pot roasts are a favorite winter dish and it’s nice to have a variety and even better when I can cook it in a slow cooker. My favorite is Guiness Beef Stew with lots of potatoes, carrots, onions and a wonderful sauce. A sister highly recommended this version of Mississippi Pot Roast (she has … Continue reading
This is a very simple, make-ahead dish your family will love especially during these cold months. Yes, it may have a few calories/carbs but after getting through our first snowfall of the season (9 whopping inches) I was in need of a little comfort! This storm broke a record for the most snow on November … Continue reading
Meatloaf is a comfort food in my family not only as a meal with mashed potatoes but in sandwiches the next day. This is my fourth recipe; one has peppers, onions and homemade applesauce , the second is a Weight Watcher’s slow cooker recipe, the third is 1770 House Meatloaf from Ina Garten. This dish … Continue reading
Many people (young and old) enjoy a good hot dog, have had one sometime in their lives or at least know about them.

This is my version with a lot less sugar and salt (soy sauce) but similar otherwise. I’ve been wanting to make this Asian dish where the thinly sliced beef is … Continue reading
Pasties are a favorite comfort food in many parts of Michigan, especially in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) where the Yoopers reside, known to be the friendliest people you will ever meet. Their variety of American English is native to the U.P and thus the name Yoopers. I am very proud of how pretty they looked … Continue reading
When it’s March I always think of “corned beef” for St. Patrick’s Day and the fact is I do have some Irish heritage (thanks Ancestry). Corned beef and cabbage is often on the menu partly because I enjoy the leftovers in reuben sandwiches. This year I wanted to make something new and different in the … Continue reading
You don’t think of a stir-fry as the perfect meal for a hot Spring day. Yes, it has been in the 90’s this week which is very unusual for Michigan in late May. We usually don’t get that kind of weather until July! The only cooking is the brief stir-fry of thinly sliced beef over … Continue reading
