Vegetable Soup


I used San Marzano tomatoes, onion, sweet potato, white potato, peas, corn, kale, tortellini, chicken stock and Mrs. Dash table blend. I simmered soup until veggies were tender. This was a very good soup and perfect for our crazy winter like, spring.

Biscuit filled with Ham & Cheese topped with an Egg


I left frozen biscuits in the refrigerator overnight. Use one biscuit portion and stretch and shape with fingers to make a little indention for the chopped meat and cheese. Place another biscuit on top and pinch edges together. Make a couple of slits in the dough and cook on low (#3 on my stove) in a covered, stainless steel skillet on top of the stove. I lightly greased the skillet with coconut oil. It took 5 minutes on each side to bake all the way through. A dippy egg for the top is a good finish for this biscuit.

Eggs, Bacon & Sausage, Hashbrowns

Congratulations to Kelsey and Brandon! Welcome Baby Ryleigh


I saw this gift wrap idea on Pinterest. They look like a little box of cupcakes. I bought a 3 pack of onesies and a bag of baby socks..You lay out the onesie and add a pair of socks to fold and roll into a cupcake shape, secure with scotch tape. I added a cupcake collar so they would sit in the little pastry box. Next I tied on a pink curly ribbon. In addition to the boxes, I purchased clear cupcake bags with ties. That was the wrap for the extra socks.This will soon be ready to mail...I have a couple more things to add to the shipping package.

Sweet Potato Hashbrowns, Bacon, Eggs, Buttered Toast



This was a really good breakfast! I peeled the sweet potato and shredded it for hash browns. I cooked the potato in some of the fat from the bacon grease, covered in onion powder, pepper and garlic salt. The toast was buttered oat bread.

Shepherd's Pie


I used a non stick skillet to prepare the Shepherd's Pie. I sauteed onion and carrot first, in olive oil. Next I browned 1 1/4 lb of ground round, added 1c. of crushed tomatoes, diced mushrooms, fresh broccoli & frozen corn. Spices were: onion powder, oregano, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper. It is topped with leftover mashed potatoes, topped with cheese. Put in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
