Bierrocks

Thanks to Kathy Taylor for this recipe. She contributed it to a church cookbook about 25 years ago, just in time for me to start wondering what to feed 5 children and a husband on a budget! These are great little fist-sized hot sandwiches. At their best, they should remind you a little of White [...]

Kusherie: You really don’t need to eat dead animals…….

One of my boys (my young men?) has asked for this recipe several times. I’m glad you like it, Aaron, it was always one of my favorites, also. I really don’t have any philosophical reason to avoid meat — I just don’t like it. I think vegetarian meals, including protein from legumes and grains, is [...]

One Dish Meals, cont’d – Chicken Paprika

One Dish Meals: First in a Series . Macaroni and Cheese

The name is sort of a play on words, since I’m not sure this is true borscht. It is published at the request of my daughter Kate, and I hope Alex likes it.

Cincinnati Chili from Cleveland

I was first introduced to chili on spaghetti in the sixth grade. The new girl from school invited me to her house for supper. They had just moved to Winfield from Cleveland, and when her Mom served this, she said they ate chili on spaghetti all the time in Ohio. I’m a Kansas girl and [...]
