Baked Butternut Squash Cubes

Our little garden patch of butternut squash produced about 20 squash! So, I’m using old recipes of mine to try to use some of it. I baked a couple, scooped out the cooked squash, mashed it and froze it in 2 cup portions. This one I just cut up, seasoned it and baked it! ItContinue reading “Baked Butternut Squash Cubes”

Pumpkin Scones

I have gotten hooked on scones! I never realized how delicious they are and how easy they are to make. I made my first batch of these Pumpkin Scones and shared them with our office staff. They were so delicious that I made a second batch and they were gone very quickly. Fall is here,Continue reading “Pumpkin Scones”

The saying goes: ‘When the cats away, the mice will play’. But my version of it is: ‘when my hubby is away, I fix food I like😂 And I have been hungry for some Spaghetti Salad, so I made t! It is NOT something he would eat, so I’ll eat it myself, and enjoy it!!Continue reading “Spaghetti Salad”

Instant Pot Hamburger Spaghetti

I usually make spaghetti with meatballs, but my mom made it with hamburger. So I got hungry and tried to make homemade t just like she did. But she didn’t have an Instant Pot, which makes it really quick. Of course, you need a good Italian Bread to go with spaghetti, so I made someContinue reading “Instant Pot Hamburger Spaghetti”

Chicken Quesadilla

Making my own Chicken Quesadilla’s is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I finally decided to try it and they were amazing! Letting the chicken strips marinade in my homemade taco seasoning gave them a wonderful flavor. Plus, our own garden green pepper and sweet onion was great. We like to eatContinue reading “Chicken Quesadilla”

Cherry Pie with Tart Cherries

If there is one pie that I could say is my favorite, it would be Tart Cherry Pie. Some stores carry frozen tart pitted cherries. Or, you can pick your own when they are in season. This year the cherries in our area were not plentiful, but our local fruit market sold them, frozen, inContinue reading “Cherry Pie with Tart Cherries”
