Wonder Pie

Posted on August 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

My grandmother got this recipe somewhere, and it fast became a family favorite. It’s about the only dessert My Cowboy will eat. You can use any flavor of pudding you have a hankerin’ for. Guess what My Cowboy likes? — one box of banana flavor, and one of butterscotch — he calls it Bananascotch. I […]

This salad is not only pretty to look at and very delicious, it’s actually quite healthy for you! And it’s a good one to take to picnics because there’s no mayonnaise in it. It can handle sitting out for a bit without poisoning any attendees — always a plus, right? 1/2 cup extra virgin olive […]

Swiss Beans

Posted on February 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

My favorite side dish. Ever. My kids even like it. It’s definitely not the healthiest way to eat your green beans, but they sure are tasty. But isn’t everything a bit tastier when you add sour cream and cheese? Or is that just me? 2 tbsp. butter, twice, melted 2 tbsp. flour 1/4 tsp. pepper […]

Every year, during deer season, our neighbors have all sorts of company camping at their place for the big hunt. The night before Opening Day, there’s a big feed, and we’re all invited. Leslie’s wife, Sharon, makes this wonderful corn dish that’s so easy, it’s ridiculous. There’s never any left! 1 15 oz. can whole […]
