The most requested and only answer, when the question is asked of my kiddos or sweet husband, "What do you want for your birthday dinner?" is Marinated Steak. My family can't get enough of it.

It is so simple and gets tons of compliments from dinner guests. I haven't had a single complaint, just requests for the recipe. And when I tell them, they are shocked at how easy it is to make.

I have been keeping my college-bound crew busy making dried 🍏 apples. They will be headed off to school in a few days, but not before they helped me transform the surplus of apples our trees gifted us into tasty Fall snacks.

A delicious traditional English Toffee that my family has been making for generations. Easy to make and so good.

This recipe was recommended to us by my sister who got it from my brother, who found it here. That practically makes it a family recipe, right!?! I have since adapted it to fit our family, the pantry supplies we have on hand, and dietary restrictions.

Avocado Tacos are a quick and delicious meal.

Homemade apple crisp made with our homegrown apples! 😋 So tasty! It is a Fall favorite at our home. My grandma called this recipe simply "A cup, a cup, and a cube." I have adjusted it slightly with a mix of oats and flour and doubled it to fit our big crew. It is by far my favorite for a tasty cobbler/crisp.

Guacamole is a favorite in my household. We load it on chips, salads, burgers, tacos and fajitas, and even in what we have loving dubbed, the Avocado Taco. This is my quick and easy recipe. I will also give instructions for the full recipe as I learned it but as I often have less than all the ingredients for a proper guacamole, I have adapted it to fit the way I stock my kitchen.

My Zesty Homemade Chili recipe gets rave reviews and is a hit whenever I make it. It is delicious, super easy to make, and made with supplies I keep in my pantry year-round.

A great dessert salad that combines so many amazing flavors and textures!

My homemade 🍮 Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting are to die for. They are mouthwateringly delicious, requested by my friends when it's my turn to bring a treat, and they go great with my Zesty Homemade Chili.

Perfect with Korean Beef or as a standalone.

My favorite Go-To Dinner/Breakfast/Brunch dish, 🥔 Tater Tot Casserole 🥔. It is delicious, makes my husband grin from ear to ear when he realizes that IT is what is for dinner, and crazy easy to make.
