This makes an especially rich gravy that makes an excellent
sauce for turkey pot pie the night after Thanksgiving!

These are delicious as is, but they are especially tasty when served in a salad.

Great Thanksgiving side dish!

Use your fresh Pheasant Meat for this one!

Every Halloween I would struggle to get my kids to eat a decent dinner before they donned their costumes to head out into the night for their annual hayride around the neighborhood where they would trick-or-treat with their friends. I finally hit upon a dinner that fit the bill. This is a casserole that is baked inside a whole pumpkin. As you serve it, be sure to scrape some of the baked pumpkin flesh with the casserole. The only thing that’s not edible is the skin of the pumpkin!

Great use for those fresh Pumpkins!

Great way to use your Venison!

In order to maintain my marital harmony, a good German dish is necessary to balance the scales. This dish is an excellent one on its own, but is delicious with any meat dish. We like it with bratwurst and knockwurst on the grill.

Thanks to my years in New Mexico, I’ve managed to extend my Irish love of potatoes to some really good home cooking, New Mexican style.

Easy to make and delicious!

This is wonderful on toast, or served as a side dish.

Pico de gallo is one of our favorite condiments, and is made every couple of days in my home. We use it on just about everything. Quite obviously, it pares very nicely with tortilla chips, but it can be spooned on top of scrambled eggs, on top of tacos or grilled chicken, in wraps, with beans, on top of a cheese quesadilla. If there is pico
de gallo in our refrigerator, we find a way to use it. The very smell of it sends me into ecstasy. This is best made and used within 24 hours as the sugars begin to break down and it becomes very soupy. Try this recipe, your life will never be the same again!

An odd name - but a great taste. (Roadkill not actually required!)

This recipe is from an old mamacita, who was a neighbor of mine when I lived in New Mexico. Once I made this recipe I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I freeze most of my excess corn to make this throughout the year:

Large flourless cookies. You may use raisins and nuts instead of chocolate.

This is delicious on pita bread, on sandwiches, or
just as a dip for fresh vegetables.

Two things critical to crisp dill pickles are soaking the cucumbers in ice water for at least 2 hours and ensuring the brine is at a full boil when poured over the dills.

Great way to make your own homemade wine.

A great way to use Banana's that are going bad before you can eat them!

You can change the amounts to the ingredients to get your desired consistency

This is a quick, easy and versatile recipe using what you already have on hand.

This recipe sounds very odd...but it is very delicious and makes an extremely large portion! It's a great crowd pleaser!

Call it frozen custard, call it gelato-by any name this smooth and intensely flavored frozen dessert is fantastic. You can freeze the custard in an old-fashioned ice cream maker using ice and salt, but it's absolutely effortless in one of the new electric machines. Do remember to pre-freeze the container portion of the ice cream maker.
