Hot Sauce

We think this is fabulous!

From Epicurious. Use either pastry crust or graham cracker crust.

"These are amazing! I added 1 cup sweetened coconut, 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup chopped walnuts. They turned out fantastic. Soft and moist. My batch yielded about 4 doz."

If you have time, let the batter rest for half an hour before frying the crepes. And you can keep any unused batter covered in the fridge for one day.

Scalloped Potatoes

Make Ahead French Toast

Grandma Gagliardi's recipe from Jenny Madison McDowell. This was Uncle Tom's and my favorite! Grandma Gagliardi's Christmas Pecan Tarts...better known as "The Cups"

Easy, easy but yummy Potato Soup. Great hot meal for when you have no time!

According to Grandma Gagliardi, one should serve only tossed salad with Italian dressing, Italian bread, celery & black olives, red Jell-o and a "light dessert" if any.

Peanut Butter Cookies

These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin. Add...

Tomato Basil with Tortellini Soup

The difference between caramel sauce and butterscotch sauce is: butterscotch uses brown sugar and caramel has white sugar.

Ina Garten recipe

Tried other recipes and think this is the best. Too much Karo makes the caramel "plastic" but 1 tablespoon keeps the sugar from crystallizing. Makes 2 cups.

Minestrone Soup

After having some batches that were gritty did some research and discovered the brown sugar makes a difference when making candy. Suggested C&H. Tried it with success!

Delicious, light vanilla white cake. Do not under bake...will collapse in center.

For tender, fluffy rice

French toast dunkers.In order to get them 'crispy' I baked each side for 12-15 minutes.

After years of making Beef Stew, we thought this was the best. For 'non-greasy' stew do not brown the meat first. Just follow the directions. Using this recipe I found there is no need to thicken the juices for...

Chicken Salad Sandwich

Sam, Grandma Kaiser's rule of thumb was one potato per person and one for the pot. That's definitely a 'side dish' portion. Just as 'hard' meatballs were a no-no, 'rubbery' potatoes were the kiss of death.

Sauteed Green Beans

Grandmas from all around can be proud of this unique recipe that brings fabulous results. Sliced apples are mounded in a prepared pie shell, covered with a latticed crust, and just before slipping into the oven,...

Obviously, this recipe only makes a 'little bit.' Double, triple, or quadruple to make a big pot.

Dress up chicken with this fresh, tomato-mayonnaise sauce. Poaching the chicken and letting it cool in the liquid keeps the meat juicy and moist. It can be served hot or cold and, with this cooking method, it keeps...

Just like Grandma Kaiser used to make.
