Kevin's Tasty Pork Tacos

2009-05-11T05:47:00.003-05:00

For Mother's Day, Kevin made his ultra tasty pork taco recipe he had made up. He had played around with some things we had and threw together this the last time, so this time we took some approximate measurement notes. It came out really yummy and good, tho we used a different tortilla shell which kinda ruined the overall flavor

This is one of Kevin's all time favorite soups. So I'm always looking for variations to perfect it for him. He seems to like this recipe, though, he doesn't like it as leftover, reheated. I do. But best served hot. I definitely enjoy the tangy lemon, more lemon the better to me. I find this "Lemon Rice Soup" is best, if you

I got this recipe from Aunt Sue, formerly known as Sue Bee Honey or Shih Tzu. Bwahahaha, no one really called her that, but it was fun to say "Shit, Sue" to her... She's Sue Gardner now, So Sue "G" Honey, though Gardeners do have bees in their gardens. This recipe will require an ice cream maker, or creativity. I heard you can

From Grandma Auldridge's notes

2007-10-14T16:51:00.000-05:00

Gene gave me a number of random pages of notes written by Grandma, thinking they might relate to a book she was writing, but he was mistaken. Most of them are menus, lists of things to do, gardening notes etc. These 2 recipes were in that bundle, "Cream Salad Dressing" & "Lemon Pie", marked "Mon. 5/20/85 these recipes to Dave &

Just a little something I'm whipping up real quick like. I'm kinda just throwing it together. It's pretty much your basic recipe, only adding pancake mix to the mashed potatoes and using chicken broth instead of milk. Currently, Kevin and I are trying a low/no dairy diet, as we seem to have an intolerance for lactose. I also

Variations on Friendship Bread

2007-09-10T19:34:00.004-05:00

Mom's Imitation Crab Cakes a.k.a. Zucchini Latkes

2007-08-29T12:28:00.000-05:00

Well, except that there's eggs, so it's not a vegan dish. I tried making some recently, but forgot to pat the grated zucchini dry, so they were kinda soggy. So don't forget to do

I'm helping GreatGrandma Pat make some Amish Friendship Bread. They didn't know how to make the starter. It's supposed to be an Amish secret. But I cheated, I looked it up online. I figured, either some Amish person told, or perhaps someone just figured it out. It's not rocket science after all. It's bread. This recipe
