I don't remember where I found this recipe but I've made it a bunch of times. It's a good side dish for breakfast when you have a lot of guests or, my favorite, with my Christmas ham.

The Thanksgiving holiday is over and you’re looking at half a bird wondering what in the world are you going to do with all these leftovers; turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes… My sister found a quick and easy casserole recipe for all those Thanksgiving leftovers.

As I have said many times. I don't cook. I also don't bake. It's not because I can't cook or bake, I'm actually as good as the next, it's that I don't like the cleaning up part. When my husband asks me to make him something, I'll try. His favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle so while I am on vacation I decided to try and bake some. Here is the easiest recipe I found and he said they were really good

I have read that before and according to nutrition tracker MyFitnessPal, users who shared their food diaries with friends ended up losing twice as much weight. It's called being accountable to someone other than yourself.

By now, you've already had at least one ham sandwich.  There is still 5 lbs of cooked ham in the fridge and no one wants to waste it -- or to live on sandwiches for the next week.  Here are some great meals you can make to use up that yummy ham!

We are just 10 days away from our 4th Annual Taste of Home Cooking School and 20 days away from Easter. Here is a fun recipe from the Taste of Home website that you could make for your family as an Easter treat.

My grandmother made this pie.  She called it Johnny Pie.  I think it was similar to a custard or Chess pie, only runnier. I know that doesn't sound appetizing at all, but it was the best pie I have ever eaten.  I searched for  'Johnny Pie' and came up with this recipe from Cooks...

An easy one dish breakfast recipe you can make the night before. Great for those times when you have a house full of overnight guests.

I don’t know what has gotten into me lately. Ever since I got back from visiting with my Mom I’ve spent more time in the kitchen then I have in the last 10 years of marriage. I guess being in the kitchen with my Mom and watching how much she enjoyed cooking and baking made me realize it’s not that bad.

I have never made Beef Stew. I know, you would think, at my age, I would have made this many times.  I have always just bought Dinty Moore in the can. (I just heard a bunch of cooks gasp.) As I said earlier, I checked The Mace Family Cookbook and could not find a recipe so I went searching and found this one on Allrecipes.com. David “helped me” modify it.

I have shared with you in the past that I have a Mace Family cookbook. Whenever I want to cook something new I must refer to the Mace Family Cookbook first (it’s an unwritten rule of being a Mace wife, or so my husband tells me). Believe it or not, I have never made homemade beef stew. I know, don’t judge me. So off to the cookbook I go looking for a recipe for Beef Stew.

These Peanut Butter Cookies are my husband David's favorite. You can use chunky peanut butter if you would like but he prefers the creamy peanut butter. Mom has made these recipes so many times she doesn't need the list anymore!
